CAUTION:
• Never connect an electric power tool with an
input power exceeding that specified in the "
SPECIFICATIONS " to the socket of the cleaner
by turning the suction force adjusting knob.
Connecting the electric power tool exceeding
the specified input power may cause overheat
and damage to the cleaner. Refer to the specifi-
cations to avoid this.
The cleaner can be connected to an electric power tool
up to input power shown in the " SPECIFICATIONS ".
To connect an electric power tool, open the cap and
insert the power tool plug into the socket of the cleaner.

Rotate the switch lever to the " AUTO " position.
Move the suction force adjusting knob to the position
suitable for the input power of the electric power tool
you intend to use. Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS for
the relation between suction force adjusting knob and
the electric power tool input power.
Switching on and off of the connected electric power
tool simultaneously brings the cleaner switching on and
off action. The cleaner still works for a few seconds
even after the electric power tool is switched off.
After use, disconnect the power tool from the socket of
cleaner.
Switch off the cleaner after use.
Auto-suction stop during suction
operation
WARNING:
Do not use for a long time while the float is at
•
work. Using the cleaner with its float at work for
a long time can cause overheat, resulting in the
cleaner deformation.
• Do not pick up foam or soapy liquid. Picking
up foam or soapy liquid can cause foam to come
out of air exit before the float works. Continuing
to using in this condition may cause an electric
shock and breakage of the cleaner.
The cleaner has a float mechanism that prevents water
from immersing into the motor when picking up more
than a certain amount of water.
When the tank is full and the cleaner no longer picks up
water, switch off the cleaner and empty the tank.

Installing the holder

When connecting an electric power tool, secure the

cm - 80 cm distance among the holders that are pro-
vided with the cleaner so that the hose is not entangled
by the power supply cord.
