Installing the castor mounts (5a) (Fig. D)

• Turn the stainless steel container (8) upside-down. (The machine head (2) must be re- moved).

• Push the castor mounts (5a) into the cut-outs provided on the wheel mounting base (6) Installing the castors (5) (Fig. D)

• Press the four castors (5) into the holes in the castor mounts (5a). Installing the machine head (2) (Fig. E)

• Place the machine head (2) on the stainless steel container (8). Secure the machine head (2) with the locking hooks (4). When installing the machine head (2), ensure that the lock- ing hooks (4) latch into place correctly. Installing the foam lter (b) (Fig. F) Never use the device without lter! Always ensure that the lters are correctly tted!

• Installing the foam lter (b): For wet vacuuming, slide the foam lter (b) provided over the lter basket with safety oat valve (14). Installing the HEPA lter (d) (Fig. G) For dry vacuuming, slide the HEPA lter (d) provided over the lter basket with safety oat valve (14). Installing the paper lter bag (c) (Fig. H) It is recommended to use an additional paper lter bag (c) when vacuuming ne, dry dirt.

• Slide the paper lter bag (c) over the suction opening in the stainless steel container (8). The paper lter bag (c) is only suitable for dry vacuuming. The paper lter bag (c) makes it easier to dispose of the dust collected. Installing the suction hose (a) (Fig. I) Connect the suction hose (a) to the corresponding port, depending on the desired use, on the wet and dry vacuum. www.scheppach.com / [e-mail] / [phone]
