Frequently Asked Questions - WD-360 K2 US Koblenz

Can I use the Koblenz WD-360 K2 US to vacuum water?

Yes, this model is a wet/dry vacuum. For wet pickups, remove the paper filter and ensure the float mechanism is working. The float will automatically shut off suction when the tank is full.

How do I use the blowing function?

Locate the blowing port on the vacuum, insert the flexible end of the hose into the blowing port until it clicks, then turn the unit on. The vac will blow air out through the hose, ideal for clearing debris from garages or driveways.

What type of filter does the WD-360 K2 US use?

It uses a paper filter specifically designed for fine dust pickup. Always use the filter when vacuuming dry materials. For wet pickups, remove the paper filter to avoid damage.

How do I clean or replace the paper filter?

Unplug the vacuum before servicing. Remove the filter carefully, shake off dust, and inspect for holes or damage. If damaged, replace immediately. Creases in pleats are normal and do not affect performance.

Why does my vacuum suddenly lose suction?

Possible causes: the tank may be full (especially during wet pickup), the filter is clogged, or there is an obstruction in the hose. Empty the tank, clean the filter, and check the hose for blockages.

Can I vacuum up flammable liquids like gasoline?

No, never. This vacuum is not designed for flammable or combustible liquids and using it for such can cause fire or explosion. Only vacuum water and non-flammable liquids.

The warranty covers defects for one year for domestic use and 90 days for commercial use. It does not apply to damage from misuse, unauthorized repairs, or normal wear of brushes/accessories.

Can I store the vacuum outdoors?

No, store the vacuum indoors. Before storing, empty and clean the tank. Accessories can be stored on the tool caddy.

What should I do if the power cord is damaged?

GARANTÍA

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Warning

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Outlet

This appliance is for use on a 120V\~ circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter may be used to connect this plug to a non-grounded outlet if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green colored rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. (fig. B).

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
