OPERATION
1. Switching On/Off
Connect the mains plug to a suitable a power outlet.
Position Status
I on
O off
II automatic synchronized start-up
2. Power Tool Take-Off Operation (Fig. 7)
3. Dry & Wet Vacuum Operation
1) Connect the power cable of your power tool to the power take-off socket.
2) If applicable, connect the vacuum suction hose to the dust extractor connector on your tool with
the supplied adaptor.
3) Switch the vacuum cleaner to position II, as described in Switching ON/OFF. The moment you
switch on the power tool, the vacuum cleaner will also switch on. Once the electrical appliance
has been switched off, the vacuum cleaner switches off following a time lapse (around 5
second) to allow the suction tube to be emptied.
1) Verify that the correct lter is installed for wet or dry vacuuming and the container latches are
secured.
2) Secure the locking end of the hose into the vacuum suction port.
3) Push the desired accessories onto the hose nozzle. The air ow regulation allows you to
change vacuum cleaner suction. For best cleaning results, fully close the air ow regulation (Fig. 8).
4) Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
5) Turn on the motor by assigning the switch to the “I” ON position.
6) Once you have completed vacuuming, switch to the “O” OFF position and unplug the power
cord from the power.
WARNING: ALWAYS CHECK THE MAXIMUM WATTAGE COMPATIBILITY
OF THE POWER TOOL TAKE OFF SOCKET AGAINST THE DESIRED
POWER TOOL BEFORE CONNECTING TO PREVENT OVERLOADING.
WARNING! ENSURE YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY SECTION
ENTITLED ‘SAFETY INFORMATION’.
7. For wet vacuuming, replace the cartridge lter and pre-lter with the foam lter supplied. Do not
use a dust bag when wet vacuuming. If the foam lter is not installed, refer to page 12.
8. Secure the power head back on the container, using the 2 side latches. Insert the locking end
of the hose into the suction port of the container and turn clockwise to lock into place (Fig. 5).
9. Choose the desired accessories and/or extension wands and push t onto the hose nozzle. To
use the dusting brush and crevice tool with an extension wand you will be required to use the
metal accessory adaptor (Fig. 6).

GB
4. Blower Operation
1) Make sure the container and any collected waste is emptied before using as a blower. This also
includes removal of the dust bag.
2) Insert the locking end of the hose into the blowing port on the rear of the power head (Fig. 12).
3) Turn on the motor on by turning the switch to the ‘I’ ON position.
1) To prepare your vacuum cleaner for dry vacuuming, install the cartridge lter over the lter cage
with the at end of the lter towards the vacuum power head. Carefully push lter until it sits
ush forming a tight seal.
2) Place the lter retainer cap on top of cartridge lter over the raised lip and tighten the retainer
lock clockwise to secure against the internal lter cage (Fig. 9).
3) Place the pre-lter on the collection tank. The pre-lter is designed to cover the full
circumference of the tank. Replace the power head, and secure it in place (Fig. 10).
4) Optionally, fully t the dust bag ange onto the inlet stub. The Vacuum cleaner can we be used
with or without dust bags.
IMPORTANT: Check the lter regularly for optimal performance. An old or blocked lter will reduce
suction performance.
For Wet Vacuuming:
1) To prepare your vacuum cleaner for wet vacuuming, remove the retainer cap and the dry use
cartridge lter and pre-lter.
2) Carefully install the supplied foam lter over the internal lter cage, making sure the whole cage
is covered (Fig. 11).
IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely;
leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle to allow air inow. The machine is tted with a oat valve that
stops the suction action when the container reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an
increase in motor noise. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply,
and drain the liquid. To continue vacuuming, replace the drainage cap.
WARNING: KEEP BYSTANDERS CLEAR FROM BLOWING DEBRIS.
WARNING: WEAR A DUST MASK IF BLOWING CREATES DUST THAT
MIGHT BE INHALED.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR WET VACUUMING.
DO NOT USE A DUST COLLECTION BAG FOR WET VACUUMING.
DO NOT USE THE PRE-FILTER FOR WET VACUUMING.
WARNING:
BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING OR CLEANING THE VACUUM
CLEANER FILTER, ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED AND
SWITCHED OFF.
For Dry Vacuuming:

MAINTENANCE
1. Cleaning Cartridge Filter & Pre-lter
Remove the lter and clean by gently tapping or brushing off dirt. For optimal performance it is
recommended to replace the old lter with a new lter regularly.
2. Cleaning Foam Filter
Remove the foam lter and use a mild soap and water solution to wash and rinse with
clean water (Fig. 13). Allow lter to air dry before installing and using again.
1) Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust. Use a soft, dry
brush to clean the equipment regularly.
2) Clear all dirt or debris from the collection tank after each use. Allow to dry before replacing the
power head. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may damage the appliance.
3) Check the hose, attachments, and power cord to verify that they have not been damaged or
any debris is trapped and blocking airow.
WARNING: REMOVE THE POWER CORD FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning Performance
Vacmaster vacuum cleaners are tested for endurance. If your motor is
operating, then the most likely cause for a loss in suction is a blockage or an
opening in the vacuum.
To maintain a high cleaning performance from your machine, it is important
to replace or clean cartridge lters as necessary. Replace full dust bags to
prevent performance drops. A performance drop with clean lters can only be
caused by a blockage in the tools or the hose.
