Installing the water filter (for cloth
filter model) (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Never pick up water or wet dust without the float
and the cloth filter or the water filter.
• For picking up wet dust, make sure that the float
cage and the float are installed on the cleaner.
• When installing the water filter on the tank, set it
tight at the opening of the tank so that the hook
of the water filter engages the tank opening
firmly and there is no space between the water
filter and the tank.
NOTICE:
• It is recommended using water filter when picking
up large amount of water repeatedly. Otherwise
vacuum ability may be reduced in case of cloth
filter.
► Fig.15: 1. Water filter 2. Tank 3. Mounting position
marking
To pick up water or wet dust only, the water filter is more
suitable than the cloth filter.
When installing the water filter, align its mounting posi-
tion mark with the one on the tank.
Installing the paper pack (optional
accessory)
WARNING:
• When using the paper pack, also use the cloth
filter or prefilter together that is preinstalled on
the tool. Failure to use the cloth filter / prefilter
together may cause unusual noise and heat,
resulting in a fire.
CAUTION:
(For the cloth filter model)
• Never pick up water or other liquids or wet dusts
when using the paper pack. Picking up such
things may cause the paper pack breakage.
• Before using the paper pack, make sure that
powder filter (optional accessory), damper
(optional accessory) and prefilter are always
used together.
(For the powder filter model)
• Before using the paper pack, make sure that
powder filter, damper and prefilter are always
used together.
1. Remove the rubber holder.
► Fig.16: 1. Rubber holder
2. Extend the paper pack.
3. Align the paper pack opening with the dust suction
opening of the cleaner.
4. Insert the cardboard of the paper pack onto the
holder so that it is positioned at the end beyond
the detent protrusion.

Installing the polyethylene bag
Cleaner can also be used without polyethylene bag.
However, using polyethylene bag is easier to empty the
tank without letting your hands dirty.
► Fig.18: 1. Holder plate 2. Polyethylene bag
Spread the polyethylene bag in the tank. Insert it between
the holder plate and the tank, and pull it to the hose inlet.
Spread the bag around the top of the tank so that the
prefilter edge can catch and hold the bag securely.
NOTE:
• A polyethylene bag available on the mar-
ket can be used. 0.04 mm or thicker one is
recommended.
• Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so do not
collect the dust more than the half of the bag
capacity.
Emptying the polyethylene bag
WARNING:
• Always make sure that the cleaner is switched
off and unplugged before emptying the polyeth-
ylene bag. Failure to do so may cause an elec-
tric shock and serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply a great impact on the float cage
and tank. Applying a great impact may cause
deformation and damage to the parts.
• Empty the tank at least once a day although this
depends on picked-up dust volume in the tank.
Or, the suction force will weaken and the motor
may be broken.
• Do not grab the hook when emptying the tank.
Grabbing the hook may cause the hook to
break.
Unhook and lift up the tank cover.
► Fig.19
Shake off the dust from the cloth filter / powder filter and
then take the polyethylene bag out of the tank.
NOTE:
• Take the polyethylene bag carefully out of the
tank so that the polyethylene bag cannot be
caught and torn by the protrusion inside the tank
when emptying it.
• Empty the polyethylene bag before it becomes
full. Too much dust in the tank may cause the
polyethylene bag to be torn.
Installing the tool box

sion code, pipe, or cuffs.
