WARNING: Only plug the vacuum cleaner into an earthed

socket with a 16 Amp capacity. Start the power tool and run it briefly at high speed. After a short lapse of time, the vacuum cleaner starts up and vacuums the dust and shavings produced.

DELAYED SHUT DOWN

After the power tool is switched off, the vacuum cleaner continues to work for a certain time in order to vacuum the dust and shavings remaining in the power tool and the hosepipe.

WARNING! You must first read and understand the section on “precautions and guidelines regarding safety” and take them into account. Guidelines: Never vacuum dangerous substances. The use of an unsuitable dust bag will result in the cancellation of the guarantee. When vacuuming fine dust (plaster, cement, etc.), always use a cartridge filter together with a fine dust bag (optional). If these are not in place, dust and particles may penetrate the motor and damage it. If these instructions are not followed, the guarantee may be cancelled.

1. Make sure the appliance is not plugged into the mains (Fig. 1).

2. To prepare your appliance for vacuuming dust, check that the reusable cloth filter is clean and dry and

place it correctly in the centre of the filter housing. Push down until the elastic fits right around the upper part of the float cage (Fig. 2).

3. Check that the filter completely covers the float cage. Also check that the edges of the reusable cloth

filter are correctly placed under the elastic ring (Fig. 3).

4. Slide the dust bag over the suction port on the container. Press down until it is firmly in place. Take care

not to damage the dust bag (Fig. 4).

5. Replace the upper part on the container and fix with the container clasps (Fig. 5).

6. Insert the largest end of the hosepipe into the suction port on the front of the container (Fig. 6) and

lock it by turning it to the right. Select the desired nozzle or extension(s) and fit them onto the hosepipe. Make sure the Start/Stop switch on the appliance is in the “Stop” position (“O” position) before plugging into the mains.

7. Plug it into the mains (Fig. 7).

8. Start the motor with the Start/Stop switch in the “Start” position (“I” position) (Fig.8).

9. When you have finished vacuuming, stop the motor by putting the Start/Stop switch in the “Stop”

position (“O” position). Unplug from the mains. Check the dust bag regularly and replace it when it is 2/3 full. The bag is manufactured so that only air may pass through the paper and not the dust, this is why a used dust bag should not be reused. Guidelines: Do not use the dust bag to vacuum wet objects or with sharp edges. O = OFF I = ON = Prise Confort Optional cartridge filter When using an optional cartridge filter, you should first remove the foam filter or the reusable cloth filter. Insert the filter by the top in the filter housing and lock the base. After prolonged use it can be cleaned by tapping it or by using a small brush.

WARNING! You must first read and understand the section on “precau tions and guidelines regarding safety” and take them into account. Guidelines: Never vacuum dangerous substances.

1. Make sure the appliance is not plugged into the mains. Check that the container is clean and dust

2. Remove the dust bag and the reusable cloth filter. Leave only the foam filter on the filter housing.

Replace the upper part of the container and close the container clasps (Fig. 2). DO NOT USE a dust filter for vacuuming liquids

3. Insert the largest end of the hosepipe into the suction port on the front of the container and lock it by

turning it to the right. Select the desired nozzle or the extension(s) and fit them onto the hosepipe (Fig. 3).

4. Make sure the Stop/Start switch on the appliance is in the “Stop” position (“O” position) before plugging

into the mains (Fig. 4).

5. Start the motor (Start/Stop switch in the “Start” position (“I” position) (Fig. 5).

When you have finished vacuuming, stop the motor by putting the Start/Stop switch in the “Stop” position (“O” position). Unplug from the mains.

6. After use, empty the container and dry it.

IMPORTANT! If you wish to vacuum large quantities of liquid from a sink, a tank or similar, do not place the whole of the nozzle in the liquid, but leave a little room so that are can be

vacuumed along with the liquid. The appliance is fitted with a float switch which blocks vacuuming when the container is full. You can tell when vacuuming stops because the motor turns faster. If this happens, stop the appliance immediately and disconnect from the mains. Take into account that a full container can be very heavy. Remove the upper part of the container and pour the liquid into a suitable recipient or into a runoff. You can then continue vacuuming once you have reinstalled the upper part. After vacuuming liquids, stop the appliance and disconnect from the mains. Empty the container and clean and dry it on the inside and the outside before storing it. Reminder! The foam filter should be removed after vacuuming liquids and a dust filter installed before starting to vacuum dry waste. BLOWING OPERATION

1. Push the large end of the flexible hose into the blower connection in the top of the motor housing

2. Ensure the power switch is turned off and plug into the power supply (Fig. 2).

3. Switch on the power (Fig. 3).

4. The unit will now blow through the vacuum hose, and can be used to clear obstructions within the pipe

(Fig. 4). WARNING! If the hose is still blocked after a few seconds, turn off the unit and clear the hose manually.

Verify that the power cable is disconnected from the outlet (Fig. 1). Disconnect the hose from the container (Fig. 2). Undo the clasps and remove the top section from the container (Fig. 3). Clear all dirt or debris from the container and hose (Fig. 4). Clean the foam filter or dust filter by washing it with a mild soapy solution (Fig. 5). Check the float switch after removing the foam filter. To do this, take the upper part by the handle and turn it over carefully so that the filter housing is turned upwards. The float switch should be able to move freely up and down. IMPORTANT! Clean or change the cloth filter regularly for best performance. ALWAYS USE CLOTH FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used without the cloth filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on-hand. NOTICE! The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The cloth filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cloth filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the cloth filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust pass through and out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or tears, replace it immediately. WARNING! ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE POWER HEAD FROM CONTAINER.
