Functional Description and Specifications
Intended Use
Grabo Plus is a fully portable battery-powered vacuum lifter,
intended to lift, move, and place everything from tiles and
drywall to furniture and large appliances.
Grabo Plus features an inbuilt pressure sensor with an
automatic start/stop pump. When the vacuum in the base of
the suction cup reaches -65 kPa, the tool will automatically stop
the pump after a 5-second delay. When the vacuum level drops
below -65 kPa, it will automatically restart the pump, thereby
achieving the required pressure when in use.
Grabo Plus features up to 170 kg (375 lbs) of grabbing force, and
can secure to almost any surface, enabling you to handle
unwieldy loads quicker and more safely than ever before, all
while minimizing the risk of damage to expensive materials.
Packing List
Your Grabo Plus is packaged together with the following
accessories:
●Battery pack
●Battery charger
●Replacement rubber foam seal
●Carry bag
●Filter

Safety Warnings
Warning: Read all safety warnings and instructions, and
save them for future reference. Failure to adhere to
these warnings can result in serious injury and damage
to equipment.
Grabo Plus Safety
♦The grabo plus is not designed or intended for climbing or
securing people in any way. Using this product for climbing or
any other unintended purpose may result in injury or death.
♦If the grabo plus sealing force begins to noticeably decrease
while the battery is fully charged, check the rubber foam seal
for wear and tear or damage. Do not attempt to lift anything
with the grabo plus until you have replaced the seal.
Rechargeable Battery Safety
♦Use only the battery packs supplied with your power tool.
♦When the batteries are not in use, keep them away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, and screws,
which can make a connection from one terminal to another.
♦Store the batteries within a temperature range of 0˚C - 45˚C
(32˚F - 113˚F).
♦Do not open the batteries.
♦Protect the batteries against heat, including continuous sun
irradiation and fire.
♦When a battery is defective, liquid can escape and come into
contact with adjacent components.
♦The battery charger is not waterproof.
♦Before use, always check the battery charger, cable, and plug.
If you detect defects, do not use the battery charger. Never
open the battery charger. Instead, have it opened and repaired
only by qualified personnel who will use original spare parts.

Warning: Keep away from flammable objects while
charging.
Getting Started with the Grabo Plus
Your Grabo Plus includes the following main components:
Connecting a Strap to the Grabo Plus
1. Locate the four holes around the handle of the grabo plus. You
can connect the strap to any two of these holes.
2. Secure each of the clips at the ends of the strap into a hole.

6
Replacing the Rubber Foam Seal
1. Remove the rubber foam seal that has become worn or
damaged by pulling it out of the grabo plus.
2. Gently press the new rubber foam seal into position, ensuring
that it fits snuggly and securely.
Replacing the filter
1. Turn the Grabo plus upside down to reveal its suction pad.

7
2. Using the tip of a screwdriver remove the rubber plug and the
filter (located underneath the motor).
3. Replace the filter and push the rubber plug to secure the filter.

8
Changing the Battery
♦To remove the battery pack from the grabo plus, slide it
forward, away from the body of the grabo plus to release it,
and then lift it up and out of the battery compartment.
♦To replace the battery pack in the grabo plus, insert it into the
battery compartment, then slide it back, toward the body of
the grabo plus, to lock it into position.
Charging the Battery
The batteries are supplied partially charged, and must be charged
to full capacity before using the grabo plus for the first time. When
the batteries are fully charged, which takes approximately two
hours from empty, the grabo plus motor can run for up to 1.5
hours.
Caution: Only use a battery charger designed for the
batteries supplied with your grabo.
Danger: Ensure that the power supply voltage
corresponds with the data on the nameplate of the
battery charger.
Danger: Only use the charger in a dry environment. The
charger is not waterproof.
Danger: Keep away from flammable objects.
The batteries can be charged at any time without reducing their
service life. The battery charger detects the charging condition of
the batteries, and charges them with the optimum current.
Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the
batteries.
1. Connect the mains plug of the battery charger to an electrical
outlet.
2. Connect the charger to the battery.

9
The battery begins charging as soon as it is connected to the
charger, and stops charging as soon as it is full.
Operating the Grabo Plus
1. Slide the power switch to the left, to the ON position, to power
on the grabo plus. The power indicator below the power
switch lights up to show you the amount of charge you have
available. The power indicator will flash if the battery is low
and needs to be charged before the grabo plus can be used.
Caution: Using the grabo while the battery is low
may result in injury and damage to the materials
being lifted.
2. Position the grabo plus flush against the surface of the item
you want to lift.
3. Press the green button to turn on the motor and create a seal
to the surface of the item you want to lift. The seal is created
within a second.
4. When the sensor detects that pressure is being lost, the
start/stop pump will automatically turn on to create the
required pressure. The pump will automatically turn off when
the required pressure is reached.

10
5. When you are done, press the red button to break the seal and
release the item.

Maintenance
Servicing the Grabo Plus
If your grabo plus is damaged or faulty, have it repaired by an
authorized service technician.
Caution: Under no circumstances should the grabo be
opened for repairs or any other purpose by anyone
other than an after-sales service technician authorized
by Nemo Power Tools. Opening the grabo invalidates
the manufacturer warranty.
Transporting the Grabo Plus
The battery pack has effective protection against internal over-
pressure and short-circuiting, as well as devices preventing violent
rupture and dangerous reverse current flow.
The lithium-equivalent content in the batteries is below applicable
limit values. Therefore, the batteries are not subject to national or
international regulations pertaining to dangerous mediums, either
as individual components or when inserted into a grabo plus.
However, the regulations governing dangerous goods may be
relevant when transporting several batteries. In this case, it might

11
be necessary to comply with special conditions, such as those
governing packaging.
Disposing of the Grabo Plus
At the end of its lifecycle, the grabo plus, its accessories, and
packaging should be sorted for environmentally friendly recycling.
Do not dispose of the batteries in household waste, fire, or water.
Batteries should be collected, recycled, or disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner.
