Cleaning & Care
Emptying Blast Vac Pro
Remove all attachments before opening
Blast Vac Pro. Hold the unit over a rubbish
bin or rubbish bag to avoid dust and dirt
from spilling on to the floor.
Push the release button at the top of Blast
Vac Pro to open the dust container. Most
of the waste will be held behind the dust
filter. Remove the filter carefully by pulling
it forward, then tip the waste in the dust
container into the bin (Fig.1).
Cleaning the dust filter
To clean the dust filter, first hold the filter over
a bin and try to remove as much dust and
dirt as possible. Then, rinse clean under a
cold water tap and leave to dry. Make sure it
is dry completely before placing back inside.
Cleaning Blast Vac Pro
Wipe clean the main unit by using a dry
cloth.
Fig. 1
Cleaning the hoses and
attachments
Wash in warm soapy water using a mild
detergent. Allow to dry fully before re-
attaching to Blast Vac Pro.
Re-assembly
To re-assemble, first place the dust filter
back into the dust container. To fit correctly,
ensure that the rubber hook on the filter fits
over the slot at the top of the dust container,
which is located below the release button.
To re-attach the dust container, locate
the two holes on the bottom. These two
holes need to fit over the two small raised
rectangles on the base of the main unit.
Once in place, press down on the release
button and push the dust container on to the
main unit, releasing the button once it has
clicked into place.
