5.2 Fitting the filter
Notice!
Never use the wet and dry vacuum cleaner wit-
hout a filter!
Always ensure that the filters are perfectly secure!
Fitting the foam filter (Fig. 6)
For wet-vacuuming, slip the supplied foamed
plastic filter (15) over the filter basket.
Fitting the additional filter (Fig. 7)
For dry vacuum cleaning always use the supplied
additional filter (18). Mount the additional filter,
so that no air is sucked through the filter cage (4)
without being filtered.
Assembling the dirt bag (Fig. 9)
For vacuuming fine, dry dirt it is recommended
that you fit the dirt bag (14). Slip the dirt bag (14)
over the vacuuming hole. The dirt bag (14) is sui-
table for dry-vacuuming only.The dirt bag makes
it easier to dispose of the sucked-in dust.
5.3 Fitting the suction hose (Fig. 3, 10, 11)
Connect the suction hose (10) to the correspon-
ding connector on the wet and dry vacuum clea-
ner, 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 con-
nector (9)
One or more of the elements which make up the
3-part suction tube (11) can be attached to the
suction hose (10) to extend it.The adapter (17)
must be inserted between the suction tube (10)
and the combination nozzle (12) or crevice nozzle
(17).
5.4 Suction nozzles (Fig. 2)
Combination nozzle
The dual-purpose nozzle (12) is for vacuuming
solids and liquids over medium to large areas.
Crevice nozzle
The crevice nozzle (16) is designed for vacu-
uming solids and liquids in corners, edges and
other areas that are difficult to access.
6. Operation
6.1 On/Offswitch (Fig. 1)
Switch position 0: Off
Switch position I: Normal mode
Switch position AUTO: Automatic mode
6.2 Dry vacuuming
Use the dirt bag (14) and the additional filter (18)
for dry vacuuming (see point 5.2).
Always ensure that the filters are perfectly secure.
6.3 Wet vacuuming
For wet-vacuuming, use the foam filter (15) (see
point 5.2).
Check that the filter is securely fitted at all times.
When wet vacuuming, the floating safety switch
(fig. 3/5) closes when the maximum tank level
is reached. In doing so, the suction noise of the
equipment will change and become louder.
You must then switch offthe equipment and em-
pty the tank.
Danger!
The wet and dry vacuum cleaner is not suitable
for the vacuuming of combustible liquids.
For wet vacuuming, use only the supplied foam
filter.
6.4 Automatic mode (Fig. 1)
Connect the power cable on your electric tool to
the automatic socket-outlet (20) and connect the
suction hose (10) to the extractor connector on
your electric tool. Check that the connections are
secure and air-tight.
You can use the supplied electric tool adaptor
(21) to connect the suction hose (10) to the elec-
tric tool.To do so, fit it between the suction hose
and the extractor port on the electric tool.
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 offthe electric tool, the wet and
dry vacuum cleaner switches offas well after a
pre-set delay.
