IMPORTANT
When vacuuming large volumes of liquid, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow for air inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction when the container reaches its maximum capacity an increase in motor speed will be heard. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply and empty the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the power head to the container. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. To prevent the machine becoming moldy, empty the container, clean and dry the inside and outside of the container and remove the foam filter and allow to air dry before storage.

The float valve is a safety feature. Do not attempt to remove or modify this in any way. If the cleaner should overturn during wet operation, switch off immediately and return it to an upright position. Wait for the valve to reset before commencing cleaning.

7. If blowing out dusty environments, always wear a suitable dust mask.
8. Protect eyes with suitable safety goggles and ensure no one else is nearby when operating.

VACUUM AND BLOW AIR FLOW ADJUSTMENT
The air flow can be controlled by setting the min / max adjustment switch to the desired speed. Power tool take off socket operation

This vacuum cleaner has a power take off feature which permits the cleaner to be coupled with a power tool, providing dust extraction.
To operate the power take off feature, insert the plug of power tool into the socket located in the lid of the cleaner. Once the plug is inserted, switch the vacuum cleaner on by using the II position.
The vacuum cleaner will now be operated in approx 5 seconds after power tool switch on.
Please note that when the power tool is switched off, the vacuum cleaner will continue to run for approx 5 seconds. This ensures any debris is cleared from the pipe. WARNING! Do not plug any tool or appliance rated over the maximum wattage for the receptacle as noted in the chart above into the electrical socket on the vacuum cleaner.

To reduce the risk of injury, additional power tool must be turned (O) OFF before placing on/off switch (1) in the (II) AUTO position. (NEVER LEAVE THE UNIT RUNNING OR PLUGGED IN UNATTENDED).
