GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings an instructions may result in electric shock, fire an /or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool" in all of the warnings refers to your mains-operate
(cor e ) power tool or battery-operate (cor less) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttere or ark areas invite acci ents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the ust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmo ifie plugs an matching outlets will re uce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increase risk of electric shock if
your bo y is earthe or groun e .
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damage or entangle cor s increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cor suitable for out oor use re uces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD re uces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as ust mask, non-ski safety shoes, har hat, or hearing
protection use for appropriate con itions will re uce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites acci ents.
!
!

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attache to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpecte situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of ust
collection can re uce ust-relate hazar s.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will o the job better an safer at the rate
for which it was esigne .
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlle with the switch is angerous an must
be repaire .
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures re uce the risk of
starting the power tool acci entally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are angerous in the han s of untraine users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many acci ents are cause by poorly maintaine power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintaine cutting tools with
sharp cutting e ges are less likely to bin an are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations ifferent from those
inten e coul result in a hazar ous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintaine .
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualifie persons in or er to avoi a hazar .

the cartri ge filter (with the rubber seal) over the bracket.
Note: Do not use the cartri ge filter combine with the foam filter.
3. Ensure the insi e of the tank an un ersi e of the motor are both ry.
4. Fit the motor with the cartri ge filter assemble back to the tank an secure in
place by refastening the two motor securing clips (2). Do not use the foam
filter when dry vacuuming.
Note: When vacuuming ry matter always have the cartri ge filter assemble .
Failure to o so coul cause the motor to fail. Do not use the foam filter when
vacuuming ry matter. Damage cause by incorrect operation will not be
covere un er warranty.
If the suction power remains low after emptying the tank the filter may nee
to be cleane .
To clean the cartri ge filter, first remove it from the motor bracket. Shake or brush
off excess irt. Do not use water to clean the cartri ge filter, this will prematurely
amage the cartri ge filter.

Vacuuming Liquid
1. Disconnect the unit from the power supply.
2. Release the two motor securing clips an lift the motor from the top of the tank. If
the cartri ge filter (with the rubber seal) has been previously assemble , remove it.
Fit the foam filter over the bracket.
Note: Do not use the foam filter combine with the cartri ge filter.
3. Remove all irt an ebris foun in the tank.
4. Fit the motor with the foam filter assemble back to the tank an secure in place
using the two motor securing clips. Do not use the cartridge filter when wet
vacuuming.
5. Re-connect the unit to the power supply.
6. When vacuuming liqui s never fully submerge the en of the hose into the water.
Always ensure only half the en of the hose is submerge in the liqui . This allows
airflow which is nee e for the Vac to work effectively. By not allowing airflow,
unnecessary loa is place on the motor which coul lea to motor failure.
7. After vacuuming liqui s, raise the hose to rain excess liqui into the tank before
turning off the unit.
8. The tank has an internal float which rises with the liqui level until it seats itself
against a seal at the intake of the motor, when this happens the suction is shut off.
When the suction is shut off the motor will evelop a higher than normal pitche
noise. Do not continue vacuuming when this happens. Switch the motor off.
Disconnect the power supply, remove the motor from the tank. Procee to empty
the tanks contents into a suitable rain. Use special care when emptying heavily
loa e tanks.
After completing the job, isconnect the power supply. Remove the motor an empty
the liqui from the tank. Clean an ry the tank an un ersi e of the motor before
storing the unit. Clean the filter, especially after vacuuming sticky liqui s. To clean the
foam filter, first remove it from the motor bracket then rinse with soap an water.
Note: When vacuuming liqui s always have the foam filter assemble . Failure to
o so may cause the motor to fail. Do not use the cartri ge filter when vacuuming
liqui s, this will prematurely amage the cartri ge filter an will also harm the
motor. Damage cause by incorrect operation will not be covere un er warranty.
Blowing
To utilise this function remove the hose from the vacuum inlet an push it into the into
the blower port in the top of the motor housing. Switch the unit on as per usual. This
