Precautionary measures for wet vacuuming
• Only use thefoam filter when wet vacuuming.
• Make sure that thefoam filter is clean and dry and secure it onto thefilter basket before starting to vacuum
any liquid.
• The safety cut-out float switch stops thevacuum from sucking when thewater level in thecontainer reaches
acertain level, thus preventing water from entering themotor. Themotor will race when thesuction function
has been stopped by thefloat. Switchthemotor off and empty thecontainer.
• Empty thecontainer before it becomes totally full and clean it afteruse.
• Clean thefoam filter when it looks clogged. Removethefilter and wash it by hand in water with amild
detergent, let it air-dry.
• Do not submerge theentire nozzle under thesurface. Leavesome space so that air can also pass through
when vacuuming alarge amount of liquid.
• Remember to reattach thefilter before using thevacuum again. NEVER use thewet and dry vacuum
without afilter.
6.2 Wet Vacuuming
Warning: Donot use thewet & dry vacuum to vacuum toxic, hazardous or flammable substances/liquids.
