Assembling the appliance

Fitting the wheels (Fig. 4-11/13)
Place a split pin for fitting the wheels (31) through the appropriate hole in the axle (33) and fit a washer (30) and a wheel (13) to the axle (33) (Fig. 5-6). Now slide the axle (33) through the guides provided for it on the underside of the tank (10) (Fig. 7). Fit the second wheel (13) to the empty end of the axle (33) and secure it with the other washer (30) and the split pin (31) (Fig. 8-10) Push the covers (32) on to the outside of the wheels (13) so that the detents engage on the covers (32) for the wheel (13). (Fig. 11).
Fitting the castors (Fig. 12/12) Fit the castors (12) into the appropriate mountings on the underside of the tank (10). Push the castors (12) firmly into the mounting until they engage with a clicking noise (Fig. 12).
Fitting the handle (Fig. 13/1)
Place the handle (1) into the handle mounts (a) of the tank and secure the handle with the supplied screws (34) as shown in Figure 13.
Fitting the appliance head (Fig. 5/14-15)
The appliance head (5) is fastened to the container (10) by the locking hook (18). To remove the appliance head (5), open the locking hook (18) and remove the appliance head (5). When fitting the appliance head (5), make sure that the locking hook (18) locks into place correctly. Fitting the filter

Important!
Never use the wet and dry vacuum cleaner without a filter.
Check that the filter is securely fitted at all times.
Fitting the foam filter (Fig. 16/25) For wet vacuuming, slip the supplied foam filter (25) over the filter basket (Fig. 2/20). The pleated filter (24) already fitted upon delivery is not suitable for wet vacuuming.
Fitting the pleated filter (Fig. 17/24) For dry-vacuuming, slip the pleated filter (Fig. 3/24) over the filter basket (Fig. 2/20). The pleated filter (24) is suitable for dry-vacuuming only.
Fitting the tank bag (Fig. 3/35)
Fit the dirt bag (27) as shown in Figure 18.
Fitting the suction hose (Fig. 1-3/18)
Connect the suction hose (9) to the corresponding connector on the wet and dry vacuum cleaner, depending on the application required.
Vacuuming
Connect the suction hose (9) to the suction hose connector (8).
Blowing
Connect the suction hose (9) to the blow connector (19).
Air regulator (Fig. 3/29)
The air regulator (29) can be fitted between the suction hose (9) and the suction tube (17). The suction power of the nozzle can be infinitely adjusted using the air regulator (29).
When wet vacuuming, make selective use of the air regulator to suck in air as well as liquids. This will help to take some strain off the equipment when vacuuming liquids.
Suction nozzles
Dual-purpose nozzle (Fig. 3/14)
The dual-purpose nozzle (14) is for vacuuming solids and liquids over medium to large areas.
Various attachments can be fitted to the combination nozzle depending on what you sort of work you wish to carry out:
Wet vacuuming
Use the attachment for wet vacuuming (Fig. 3/26).
Vacuuming smooth flooring
Use the attachment for smooth floors (Fig. 3/27).
Vacuuming carpets
Use the attachment for carpets (Fig. 3/28).
Fit the appropriate attachment into the combination nozzle (14) from underneath and secure it to the combination nozzle (14) using the side lugs (fig. 15).
Ensure that the attachments are perfectly secure.
Crevice nozzle (Fig. 3/23)
The crevice nozzle (23) is designed for vacuuming solids and liquids in corners, edges and other areas that are difficult to access.
Upholstery nozzle (Fig. 3)
The upholstery nozzle (26) is specially designed for vacuuming solids on upholstery and carpets.

Operation

ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/7)

• Switch position 0:Off
• Switch position I:Normal operation
• Switch position AUTO:Automatic mode

Dry vacuuming

Use the pleated filter (24) for dry vacuuming (see point 5.2). The dirt bag (27) can be fitted in addition when removing particularly stubborn dirt (see point 5.3).
Always ensure that the filters are perfectly secure.

Wet-vacuuming

For wet-vacuuming, use the foam filter (25) (see point 5.2).
Check that the filter is securely fitted at all times.
Water drain screw (Fig. 1/11)
To make the tank (10) easier to empty after wet vacuuming, it is fitted with a water drain screw (11). Open the water drain screw (11) by turning it anti- clockwise and drain the liquid.
Important!
When wet vacuuming, the floating safety switch (21) closes when the maximum tank level is reached. In doing so, the suction noise of the equipment will change and become louder.
You must then switch off the equipment and empty the tank.
Important!
The wet and dry vacuum cleaner is not suitable for vacuuming of combustible liquids.
For wet vacuuming, use only the supplied foam filter.

Automatic mode

Connect the power cable on your electric tool to the automatic socket-outlet (4) and connect the suction hose (9) to the extractor connector on your electric tool. Check that the connections are secure and air-tight.
You can use the supplied electric tool adaptor (22) to connect the suction hose (9) to the electric tool. To do so, fit it between the suction hose and the extractor port on the electric tool.
Set the switch (7) on the wet and dry vacuum cleaner to position AUTO, automatic mode. The moment you switch on the electric tool, the wet and dry vacuum cleaner switches on as well. When you switch off the electric tool, the wet and dry vacuum cleaner switches off as well after a pre-set delay.
