The wet and dry vacuum cleaner is designed for wet and dry vacuuming using the appropri- ate fi lter. The equipment is not suitable for the vacuuming of combustible, explosive or harmful substances. The equipment is to be used only for its prescri- bed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data. The equipment may be connected only to a shock-proof socket-outlet.

5.1 Assembling the equipment

Fitting the equipment head (Fig. 6) The equipment head (3) is fastened to the tank (8) by the locking hook (7). To remove the equip- ment head (3), open the locking hook (7) and take off the equipment head (3). When fi tting the equipment head (3), make sure that the locking hook (7) locks into place correctly. Fitting the wheels (Fig. 5) Fit the wheels in accordance with Fig. 5.

Fitting the handle (Fig. 4) Use a screwdriver to fi t the handle (1).

5.2 Fitting the fi lters

Caution! Never use the wet and dry vacuum cleaner wit- hout a fi lter. Always ensure that the fi lters are securely seated. Fitting the foam fi lter (Fig. 7) For wet vacuuming, slip the supplied foam fi lter (16) over the fi lter basket (Fig. 2/4). The pleated fi lter (15) already fi tted upon delivery is not suita- ble for wet vacuuming. Fitting the pleated fi lter (Fig. 8) For dry-vacuuming, slip the pleated fi lter (Fig. 15) over the fi lter basket (Fig. 2/4). The pleated fi lter (15) is suitable for dry-vacuuming only. Fitting the dirt bag (not supplied) For vacuuming fi ne, dry dirt it is recommended that you also fi t the dirt bag. This will ensure that the pleated fi lter (15) does not clog up so quickly and help maintain the vacuuming power. It also 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. 9-12)

Connect the suction hose (11) to the correspon- ding connector on the wet and dry vacuum clea- ner, depending on the application required. Vacuuming Connect the suction hose (11) to the suction hose connector (9). Blowing Connect the suction hose (11) to the blow con- nector (10). To extend the suction hose (11) you can attach one or more of the elements which make up the 3-part suction tube (12) to the suction hose (11).

Combination nozzle (13) The dual-purpose nozzle (13) is for vacuuming solids and liquids over medium to large areas.

For dry-vacuuming, use the pleated fi lter (15). In addition, you can also fi t the dirt bag. (See point 5.2) Always ensure that the fi lters are securely seated.

For wet-vacuuming, use the foam fi lter (16) (see point 5.2). Check that the fi lter is securely seated at all times. Water drain screw (Fig. 1) To make the tank (8) easier to empty after wet va- cuuming, it is fi tted with a water drain screw (19). Open the water drain screw (19) by turning it anti- clockwise and drain the liquid. Caution! When wet vacuuming, the fl oating safety switch (5) closes when the maximum tank level is reached. At the same time, the suction noise of the equipment will change and become louder. You must then switch off the equipment and em- pty the tank. Caution! The wet and dry vacuum cleaner is not suitable for the vacuuming of combustible liquids. For wet vacuuming, use only the supplied foam fi lter.

Connect the power cable of your electric tool to the automatic socket-outlet (6) and connect the suction hose (11) to the vacuuming connector of your electric tool. Check that the connections are secure and air-tight. Set the switch (2) on the wet and dry vacuum cleaner to position „AUTO“ (automatic mode). The moment you switch on the electric tool, the wet and dry vacuum cleaner switches on as well. When you switch off the electric tool, the wet and dry vacuum cleaner switches off as well after a pre-set delay. Anl_H_SA_1930_SPK7.indb 17Anl_H_SA_1930_SPK7.indb 17 29.01.13 17:3829.01.13 17:38GBR

Please note the following terms, under which guarantee claims can be made:

1. These guarantee terms cover additional guarantee rights and do not aff ect your statutory warranty
