Air Inlet
Never cover the air inlets. Keep them free from obstructions
and debris. They must always remain clear for proper motor
cooling.
mWARNING! To avoid personal injury, do not wear loose
tting clothing or articles such as scarves, necklaces, chains,

Basic Vacuum Procedures
mWARNING! Do not vacuum drywall dust, replace soot
or ash with the unit. This is very ne dust which will not be
captured by the lter and may cause damage to motor.
mWARNING! The cloth lter is only for dry vacuum. Make
sure the cloth lter is attached for dry cleaning, and DO NOT
use the cloth lter when vacuuming liquid.
mWARNING! The foam lter must be used for wet
vacuuming, and make sure to clean the foam lter after wet
vacuuming.
• Place the equipment on a level surface that is not heat
sensitive.
• Always use the vacuum hose for vacuuming. Hold the
vacuum hose at a distance of approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm)
above the material to be vacuumed.
mWARNING! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids,
do not immerse the brush attachment completely in the liquid;
leave a gap at the tip of the brush attachment opening to allow
air inow. The machine is tted with a oat valve that stops the
suction action when the collection tank reaches its maximum
capacity. You will notice a decrease in motor speed. When
this happens, turn o the machine, disconnect from power
supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain.
To continue vacuuming, ret the collection tank with the power
head.
• To prevent overheating of the motor, stop the unit for one
minute after every 15 minutes of using.
• Turn o and unplug the unit after vacuuming, before
cleaning and maintenance. After wet vacuuming, empty
the collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside
before storage.
• Empty the tank outside in order to avoid a mess.
• Clean or change the lters (see Maintenance section) if the
suction performance deteriorates.
mWARNING! Never remove the power head without
rst turning the power switch to the OFF (O) position and
unplugging the unit from the main power source.
Releasing and Assembling the Power
Head

switch is in the OFF position and the unit is unplugged before
attaching or removing the power head.
