OPERATION

POWER SWITCH

POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) OPERATION

WARNING

• Avoid overloading the PTO outlet, and ensure the tool is not rated over 900W
• Avoid underload, the PTO outlet will not work with a load under 100
• The moment you switch on the power tool, the vacuum cleaner will also switch on. Once the electrical appliance has been switched off, the vacuum cleaner switches off following a time-lapse (around 5 seconds) to allow the suction tube to be emptied.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

• When the connected tool has a higher rating than 900W, it will activate the overload safety system and cut power to the take-off electrical outlet.
• Switch off and disconnect the connected tool. Press the ‘Overload Reset’ button to restore Power Take Off.
• The overload safety system can also be activated in situations where the connected tool is under extreme load or stalled during operation.

• The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.

IMPORTANT!

• When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening 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 the pitch of motor sound.
• When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from the power supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain.
• To continue vacuuming, refit the container with the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove the plug from the power supply.
• Empty the container, and clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.

FILTER AND BAG RECOMMENDATION

IMPORTANT!

• The filter needs to be maintained regularly and the dust bag needs to be emptied.
• Follow the instructions on how to empty dust bags for WD dust and M Class Dust.

SELF-CLEANING FILTER SYSTEM

• The Self-Cleaning function should be used regularly. How often Self-cleaning needs to be carried out will depend on the type and quantity of dust that has been vacuumed.
• A clogged filter can trigger airflow reduction and cause a decrease in suction power.
• When airflow starts to reduce during operation, the LED indicator next to the self-clean button will flash red, meanwhile, the suction power diminishes.
• To recover the suction power and airflow, please follow the self-cleaning filter system procedures below.
• Ensure the hose is connected to the vacuum cleaner to allow the system to work.
• Press the ON/OFF switch to the “I” position.
• Turn the airflow speed control to the MAX position.
• Insert the air regulator tube into the filter self-cleaning button and press it up and down 3 to 4 times.
• Repeat the process at least 2 to 3 times.
• IMPORTANT! This is the only recommended cleaning procedure for the M Class application. When the filter is not effective after self-cleaning, it will need to be replaced.

CLEANING AND CHANGING HEPA CARTRIDGE FILTER

• IMPORTANT! The HEPA filter supplied is washable. It is recommended to wash the cartridge filter after the M class application.
• WARNING ALWAYS USE A P2-RESPIRATOR AND DISPOSABLE GLOVES WHEN REMOVING AND CLEANING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER AFTER VACUUMING HAZARDOUS SPECKS OF DUST.
• AVOID CLEANING IN WINDY ENVIRONMENTS
• Remove the cartridge filter by twisting the cap off the filter cage.
• Gently tap or brush the dirt from the filter into a separate disposable garbage bag.
• Rinse the filter with clean running water. Ensure the filter is 100% dry before reuse.
• If the LED Indicator still flashes after cleaning, the filter needs to be replaced.

IMPORTANT!

• After each wash of the HEPA cartridge filter, wait until it is completely dry before reusing it with the vacuum.
• We recommend always having a spare filter (not supplied) on hand to replace in case urgent use is needed.

Cleaning Foam Filter (only for wet application)

• Carefully remove the foam filter from the filter cage.
• Use a mild soap and water solution to wash the foam filter rinse with clean water, and air dry before the next use.

STORAGE

• Wind up the hose around the motor head and put it on the hose retaining bracket.
