5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Assembling the equipment

Fitting the equipment head (Fig. 4a-4b)

The equipment head (3) is fastened to the tank (7) by the locking hook (6). To remove it, release the locking hook (6) and lift the head (3) off.

Use the markings on the housing to ensure proper alignment when putting the head back on. The head (3) can only be fitted in one specific position. Then lock the locking hook (6) to securely fasten the equipment head (3).

5.2 Fitting the fi Iters

Important!

Never use the wet/dry vacuum without a fi lter! Always make sure that the fi lters are securely seated!

Fitting the foam fi Iter (Fig. 5)

For wet vacuuming, slip the supplied foam fi lter (14) over the fi lter basket.

Fitting the pleated fi Iter (Fig. 6)

For dry vacuuming always use the supplied additional pleated filter (16). Fit the pleated filter (16) onto the filter basket (4) and secure it with the filter fastening cap. Make sure that no air is sucked through the filter basket (4) without being filtered.

Fitting the collection bag (Fig. 7)

For vacuuming fi ne, dry dirt it is recommended that you fi t the collection bag (15). Slip the collection bag (15) over the intake opening. The collection bag (15) is suitable for dry vacuuming only. The collection bag makes it easier to dispose of the vacuumed dust.

EN

5.3 Fitting the suction hose (Fig. 9a-9b)

Connect the suction hose (10) to the corresponding connector on the wet/dry vac, depending on the application required.

Vacuuming

Connect the suction hose (10) to the suction hose connector (8).

Blowing

Connect the suction hose (10) to the blow connector (9).

5.4 Suction nozzles

Suction nozzle (Fig. 2)

The suction nozzle (13) is suitable for vacuuming solids and liquids on small to medium-sized surfaces. It can be used in a variety of ways, especially on smooth surfaces or low pile rugs.

Crevice nozzle (Fig. 2)

The crevice nozzle (12) is designed for vacuuming solids and liquids in corners, edges and other areas that are difficult to access.

5.5 Charging the battery (Fig. 12)

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. Do this by pressing the pushlock button on the side.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate. Insert the power plug of the charger (d) into the socket outlet. The green LED will begin to blink.
3. Insert the battery (e) into the charger (d).
4. In the section entitled "Charger indicator" you will find a table with an explanation of the LED display on the charger.

The battery can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet.
• Is there good contact at the charging contacts?

If the battery pack still fails to charge, please send

• thecharger

• and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Fitting the battery (Fig. 8)

Open the battery cover (17). To do so, flip the cover up as shown in Fig. 8. Then slot the battery (e) into the mount and push it forward until you hear the battery engage.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 13)

Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (a). The battery capacity indicator (b) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:

The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED fl ashes:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:

The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Fitting the shoulder strap (Fig. 10)

Use the carabiner hooks to latch the shoulder strap (19) onto the holders provided. Make sure that the hooks are fully latched to ensure a firm hold. The strap length can be adjusted to suit your needs.

6. Operation

6.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 1)

Switch position 0: Off

Switch position I: Vacuum setting 1

Switch position II: Vacuum setting 2

6.2 Dry vacuuming

Use the pleated filter (16) for dry vacuuming (see section 5.2).

Always make sure that the filters are securely seated!

6.3 Wet vacuuming

For wet vacuuming, use the foam filter (14) (see section 5.2).

Always make sure that the filter is securely seated!

When wet vacuuming, the safety float valve (Fig. 3/5) 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 empty the tank.

Danger!

The wet/dry vacuum is not suitable for the vacuuming of combustible liquids!

For wet vacuuming, use only the supplied foam fi Iter!

6.4 Blowing

Connect the suction hose (10) to the blow connector (9) on the wet/dry vacuum.

6.5 Use with an E-Case (Fig. 11a, 11b)

The equipment is compatible with the E-Case System. Depending on the E-Case model, there are several ways to attach it:

• Using an adapter plate: For older E-Cases with no additional mounting points.
- Fitting it directly: With newer E-Cases that have integrated half-size attachment options. This allows for flexible use with different E-Case versions.

6.6 Inflation adapter (Fig. 2)

The infl ation adapter (20) can be combined with the equipment blowing function to infl ate air mattresses, for example. The equipment's normal vacuum function can be used to defl ate air mattresses.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Always pull out the battery before starting any cleaning work.

Warning!

Maintenance and cleaning work must be performed in such a way that no danger is created for maintenance personnel or any other persons.

When maintenance and repair work is carried out, all contaminated parts which cannot be sufficiently cleaned must be packed in impermeable bags and disposed of in accordance with the applicable regulations in force in your country.

In the maintenance work area:

• Ensure that filtered forced ventilation is provided
  • Wear personal protective equipment
