Before switching the switch to position ensure  that the tool connected to the appliance socket is switched off.

Before wet pick-up
CAUTION
The machine is equipped with a float system that shuts off the airflow through the machine when the maximum liquid level is reached. You will hear a noticeable change of the sound from the motor and notice that the suction power decreases. When this occurs, switch the machine off. Disconnect the ma- chine from the socket. Never pick up liquid without the float body in place.

Emptying after wet pick-up
Before emptying the container, unplug the vacuum cleaner. Disconnect the hose from the inlet by pulling out the hose. Release the latch by pulling them out- wards so that the motor top is released. Open up the motor top from container. Always empty and clean the container and the float system after picking-up liquids. Never pick up liquid without the float system and filter installed in the machine.
Empty by tilting the container backwards and pour the liquids into a floor drain or similar.
