2. To remove, open the battery compartment lid. Press and hold the battery release tab and pull the battery away from the vacuum.
   

Battery protection system

The tool is equipped with the battery protection system, which helps to ensure a long service life.

• When the tool is overloaded:
  If this occurs, release the trigger switch and remove causes of overload, then pull the switch trigger again to restart.

ASSEMBLY

ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS.

Fitting the Castors

1. Turn the tank upside down and push all 4 castors into the base of the tank.
   

Fitting the Motor

1. When fitting the motor to the tank, position it so that the tank securing clips on the motor align with the fastening points on the tank.
   
2. Fasten the tank securing clips to the tank, making sure that they lock into place correctly.

Fitting the Dust Bag

1. For vacuuming fine, dry dirt it is recommended that you fit the dust bag.
   This will ensure that the pleated filter does not clog up so quickly and help maintain the vacuuming power. A dust bag is suitable for dry vacuuming only. Using the dust bag makes it easier to dispose of the dust that has been collected.
   
   
2. To attach, slip the dust bag over the vacuum inlet.
   

OPERATION

FITTING THE FILTER

NEVER USE THE VACUUM CLEANER WITHOUT A FILTER! ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE FILTERS ARE PERFECTLY SECURE!

Fitting the Foam Filter - Vacuuming Liquid

1. For wet-vacuuming, slip the supplied foam filter over the filter basket.
   

Note: Do not use the pleated filter and/or dust bag when vacuuming liquid.

Fitting the Pleated Filter - Vacuuming Dry Matter

1. For dry vacuum cleaning always use the pleated filter. Mount the filter so that no air is sucked through the filter cage without being filtered.
   
   
2. Place the cap on the base of the pleated filter, turn clockwise to lock in position.
   

Note: Do not use the foam filter when vacuuming dry matter.

FITTING HOSES & NOZZLES

Connect the suction hose to the corresponding connector on the wet and dry vacuum, depending on the application required:
