Fitting the appliance head (Fig. 1-4)

The appliance head (3) is fastened to the container (8) by the locking hook (7). To remove the appliance head (3), open the locking hook (7) and remove the appliance head (3). When fi tting the appliance head (3), make sure that the locking hook (7) locks into place correctly.

5.2 Fitting the fi Iter

Notice!

Never use the wet and dry vacuum cleaner without a filter.

Check that the filter is securely fitted at all times.

Fitting the foam fi Iter (Fig. 5)

For wet vacuuming, slip the supplied foam fi lter (16) over the filter basket. The pleated filter (15) already fitted upon delivery is not suitable for wet vacuuming.

Fitting the pleated fi Iter (Fig. 6)

For dry-vacuuming, slip the pleated filter over the filter basket. The pleated filter (15) is suitable for dry-vacuuming only.

GB

Assembling the dirt bag (Fig. 7)

For vacuuming fi ne, dry dirt it is recommended that you also fi t the dirt bag. This will ensure that the pleated filter (15) does not fill up so quickly and therefore help the vacuuming power last lon- ger. In addition, it makes it easier to dispose of the dust. Slip the dirt bag over the vacuuming hole. The dirt bag is suitable for dry-vacuuming only.

5.3 Fitting the suction hose (Fig. 1/8)

Connect the suction hose (11) to the corresponding connector on the wet and dry vacuum cleaner, depending on the application required.

Air regulator (Fig. 2)

The air regulator (17) can be fitted between the suction hose (11) and the suction tube (20). The suction power of the nozzle can be infinitely adjusted using the air regulator (17).

When wet vacuuming, make selective use of the air regulator to suck in air as well as liquids. This will help to take some strain off the equipment when vacuuming liquids.

5.4 Suction nozzles

Dual-purpose nozzle (Fig. 1/2)

For dry vacuuming surfaces use the dual-purpose nozzle (13).

Crevice nozzle (Fig. 1/2)

The crevice nozzle (19) is designed for vacuuming solids and liquids in corners, edges and other areas that are difficult to access.

Upholstery nozzle (Fig. 1/2)

Always ensure that the fi Iters are perfectly secure.

6.3 Wet vacuuming

For wet-vacuuming, use the foam filter (16) (see point 5.2).
