When the filter indicator lights up, hold one hand against the end of the hose to seal it, then press the Push to Clean button for 2-3 seconds. Wait 3-5 seconds and repeat up to 3 times. If the indicator still lights, the filter may be too clogged and may need rinsing or replacement.

The machine provides two modes of operation: vacuuming and blowing.

When using the machine for vacuuming, the hose is connected to "G". When using the machine for blowing, the hose is connected to "H".

The machine is turned on or off at switch "E". When running and operational the light in "B" will not light. The light "B" will light when a drop in suction performance occurs due to a dirty filter.

Cleaning the filter with Push to Clean\*)

If the light "B" is turned on, the filter may be clogged.

1. Hold one hand against the end of the hose to form a closed wall. Push the "Push to Clean" button "C" for 2-3 seconds to let the machine clean the filter. Wait for 3-5 seconds and repeat Step 1, max. 3 times.

2. If the indicator still lights, the cause may lie in a too heavily clogged filter. Occasionally a light rinse is sufficient. If not, then replace the filter by a new one.

Filter change (ref. illu. 4, page 2)

1. Open the machine so the filter is accessible.
2. Unscrew the tensioning plate "M" to release the filter.
3. Remove the filter and replace it by a new one.

4. Tighten tensioning plate (turn right). Make sure the threads on the tensioning plate are aligned properly with the threads on the machine. Tighten the tensioning plate firmly so the filter seals make a closed connection to the machine. Beware not to over-tighten the tensioning plate.

5. Assemble the machine again making sure the motor head has a proper fit to the container.

Dust bag change

1. Open the machine so the dust bag is accessible.
2. Remove the old dust bag.
3. Gently slide the new dust bag over the angled

3. Open the machine and make container accessible alone.
4. Empty the machine over the backside or the sides to prevent dirty water to slip out of the hose connection.
5. Assemble the machine again making sure the motor head has a proper fit to the container.

Storage

1. Make sure the hose is emptied for dust or dirt and the material has entered the container.
2. Remove the electric cable from power supply.
