3. Dry & Wet Vacuum Operation
WARNING: ENSURE YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY SECTION
ENTITLED `SAFETY INFORMATION’.
- Verify that the correct filter is installed for wet or dry vacuuming and the container latches are secured.
- Secure the locking end of the hose into the vacuum suction port. 3) Push
the desired accessories onto the hose nozzle. The air flow regulation allows
you to change
vacuum cleaner suction. For best cleaning results, fully close the air flow regulation (Fig. 6). 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.
For Dry Vacuuming:
WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING OR CLEANING THE VACUUM
CLEANER FILTER, ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS UNPLUGGED AND SWITCHED OFF. - To prepare your vacuum cleaner for dry vacuuming, install the cartridge filter over the filter cage with the flat end of the filter towards the vacuum power head. Carefully push filter until it sits flush forming a tight seal.
- Place the filter retainer cap on top of cartridge filter over the raised lip and tighten the retainer lock clockwise to secure against the internal filter cage (Fig. 7).
- Optionally, fully fit the dust bag flange onto the inlet stub. The Vacuum
cleaner can we be used with or without dust bags.
IMPORTANT: Check the filter regular for optimal performance. An old or blocked filter will reduce suction performance.
For Wet Vacuuming: - To prepare your vacuum cleaner for wet vacuuming, remove the retainer cover and the dry use cartridge filter.
- Carefully install the supplied foam filter over the internal filter cage,
making sure the whole cage is covered (Fig. 8).
WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR WET VACUUMING. DO NOT USE A DUST COLLECTION BAG FOR WET VACUUMING.
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 inflow. The machine is fitted with a float 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. After wet vacuuming, empty the container, clean and dry inside before storage.

4. Blower Operation
WARNING: KEEP BYSTANDERS CLEAR FROM BLOWING DEBRIS. WARNING: WEAR A DUST MASK
IF BLOWING CREATES DUST THAT MIGHT BE
INHALED. 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. 9). 3) Turn on the motor
on by turning the switch to the `I’ ON position.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: REMOVE THE POWERCORD FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE. 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 airflow.
1. Cleaning Cartridge Filter
Remove the filter and clean by gently tapping or brushing off dirt. For
optimal performance it is recommended to replace the old filter with a new
filter regularly.
2. Cleaning Foam Filter
Remove the foam filter and use a mild soap and water solution to wash and
rinse with clean water (Fig. 10). Allow filter to air dry before installing
and using again.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK-UNPLUG BEFORE
TROUBLESHOOTING.
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 filters as necessary. Replace full dust bags to
prevent performance drops. A performance drop with clean filters can only be
caused by a blockage in the tools or the hose.
