This inlet is for installation of vacuum hose and accessories.
Figure 1, 3 and Figure 2, 1 - Debris Canister
The debris canister should be emptied when the canister is full.
To empty canister, lift debris canister lever (figure 3,2). Debris
canister will lower until it rests with it's wheels on the floor. Grip
the handle and remove the canister, then empty it's contents.
To fit the canister back in place, set it under the vacuum, making
sure the full sight level gauge (figure 3,1) remains visible from the
outside. Then push lever (figure 3,2) downwards, allowing the
canister to lift until it fits against filtering chamber.
Figure 1, 4 - Filter Cleaning Lever
This lever is to used to clean the filter. When manometer (figure
4, 1) reads that the filter is clogged, turn the filter cleaning lever
several times with force in order to shake the dust from the filter.
Do not operate lever with vacuum running.
Wait a few minutes for the dust to settle at the bottom of the
container, then empty.

Before emptying debris canister, switch off the machine by
pressing the vacuum motor switches (figure 4,2) and remove
plug from the power supply.
