General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Wet & Dry Vacuum Safety

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before opening the unit, cleaning, carrying out maintenance, or when the unit is not in use.

a) NEVER pull on the power cable to remove the plug from the power point. This could cause damage to the power cable, the vacuum cleaner and the power point.

b) DO NOT allow the vacuum to pass over the power cable. This could cause damage to the internal wires.

c) DO NOT vacuum the following items:

- burning matches

- glowing ashes

- cigarette ends

• corrosives

• flammable or explosive substances

d) Use this product only for the purposes for which it is intended. Other applications may be dangerous, and lead to serious injury and/or property damage.

e) Take great care when cleaning stairs. Ensure the vacuum is placed on a secure, lower level, to avoid the danger of the vacuum falling on to the user.

f) Use ONLY genuine Silverline consumables, attachments and spare parts

Operation

Power take off socket operation

Note: This vacuum cleaner can be used to power another electrical device, e.g. a power tool, up to 2000W.

1. Check that the ON/OFF Switch (12) is in the '0' (OFF) position
2. Connect the vacuum to the mains power supply
   WARNING: If the device has a power switch, make sure it is switched OFF before plugging into the Power Take Off Socket (13)
3. Plug the device into the Power Take Off Socket (power will be automatically provided through the PTO Socket)

Note: If using the vacuum cleaner as a dust extraction device, connect the Flexible Hose (2) to the tools dust extraction port, before powering ON.

1. Press the ON/OFF Switch to 'II' (ON) to start the vacuum cleaner

2. Turn your power tool ON and commence work

IMPORTANT: There is a deliberate 20 second start-up and shut-off delay on the vacuum when using a power tool connected to the PTO socket.

- The Power Take Off (PTO) Socket (13) provides power to external devices. The PTO is designed to be used in conjunction with an external machine that requires dust extraction

- The vacuum will power itself ON to work in conjunction with the machine that is connected

- When the machine connected to the Power Take Off (PTO) Switch is switched OFF the vacuum will simultaneously switch OFF

Wet & dry vacuum cleaning

3. Switch the vacuum ON by pressing "I" on the ON/OFF Switch
4. Switch the vacuum OFF by pressing the ON/OFF Switch into the '0' position

Notes:

• Ensure the inside of the Tank (4) and the Filter Frame (14) are clean and free from dirt before operating
  • Make sure the Drain Cap (3) is closed and hand tight
• When the Tank is full, the float valve within the Filter Frame will close. There will be an increase in motor speed and loss of suction when this happens
• The Extending Tube (24) can be adjusted to suit the user. Release the Tube Latch (25) to adjust the length

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.

1. Disconnect any attachments from the end of the vacuum hose
2. Lift the end of the Flexible Hose (2) up above head height so that any liquid runs down into the Tank (4)

3. Position your vacuum cleaner so the Drain Cap (3) is above the drainage area
   Note: Make sure that no perishable object or material is within 3 metres of the Drain Cap.

4. Unscrew the Drain Cap and allow the liquid to drain. Undo the Lid Clamps (8) and remove the Lid (9)

   WARNING: Point the small end of the Flexible Hose well away from any object or person; debris may be ejected from the hose end
7. Switch on the vacuum cleaner by pressing the ON/OFF Switch (12) into the 'I' position
8. Wait a few minutes for waste to be released from the end of the hose before blowing

Accessories

Maintenance

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.

General inspection

• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
- Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool

Cleaning

• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts

Filter cleaning

Note: A clogged filter will cause suction power and cleaning efficiency to deteriorate. Check whether the filter is blocked if performance deteriorates.

• Detach the Lid (9), to gain access to the Foam Filter (23)
• Remove and clean the Filter using a brush and dry compressed air

Lubrication

- Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
