Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the supply voltage. The equipment may be connected only to a shock-proof socket-outlet.

Assembling the equipment
Fitting the wheels (Fig. 4-11)
Place a split pin for fitting the wheels (31) through the appropriate hole in the axle (33) and fit a washer (30), a wheel (13), and a washer 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 a washer and 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) onto 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)
Fit the castors (12) into the appropriate mountings on the underside of the container (10). Push the castors (12) firmly into the mounting until they engage with a clicking noise (Fig. 12). Fitting the push bar (Fig. 13) Place the push bar (37) into the push bar connections (a) of the tank and secure the push bar with the supplied screws (39) and fastening nuts (38) as shown in Figure 13. Fitting the equipment head (Fig. 14) The equipment head (5) is fastened to the container (10) by the carry handle (18). To remove the equipment head, swing the carry handle forward (Fig. 14) and lift off the equipment head. When you fit the equipment head, make sure that the carry- handle is in the correct position (Fig. 14). Fitting the carry-handle (Fig. 15-15a) Fit the carry-handle (18) by Fig. 15-15a.

Fitting the filters
Important!
Never use the wet and dry vacuum cleaner without a filter. Always ensure that the filters are securely seated. Fitting the foam filter (Fig. 16) For wet- vacuuming, slip the supplied foamed plastic filter (25) over the filter basket (Figs. 2/20). The pleated filter (Fig. 3/24) already fitted upon delivery is not suitable for wet vacuuming! Fitting the pleated filter (Fig. 17) For dry- vacuuming, slip the pleated filter (Fig. 3/24) over the filter basket (Fig. 2/20). The pleated filter (Fig. 3/24) is suitable for dry-vacuuming only.

Fitting the tank bag (Fig. 18)
Fit the dirtbag (Fig. 3/27) 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)
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

Combination nozzle (Fig. 3)
The dual-purpose nozzle (14) is for vacuuming solids and liquids over medium to large areas.
Crevice nozzle (Fig. 3)
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. 1/7)

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

Suction power adjuster (Fig. 1a)
Turn the rotary knob for suction power adjustment (16) to the left or right to adjust the suction power.

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

Wet-vacuuming

For wet vacuuming, use the foam filter (25) (see point 5.2).
Check that the filter is securely seated at all times.

Water drain screw (Fig.1)
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. When wet vacuuming, the floating safety switch (Fig. 2/21) closes when the maximum tank level is reached. At the same time, the suction noise of the equipment will change and become louder. You must then switch off the equipment and empty the tank.

Danger!
The wet and dry vacuum cleaner is not suitable for the vacuuming of combustible liquids. For wet vacuuming, use only the supplied foam filter.

Automatic mode (Fig. 1)
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 adapter (Fig. 3/22) 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.

Blowing
Connect the suction hose (Fig. 1/9) to the blow connector (Fig. 2/19) on the wet and dry vacuum cleaner.

Filter cleaning system (Fig. 19)
The equipment has a filter cleaning system that enables large amounts of fine dust to be suctioned without fitting the dirt collector bag.

Important! The filter cleaning system can only be activated if the equipment is in operation! If there is a drop in suction performance, thefilterr cleaning system can be activated at the touch of a button to clean the dirty coarse filter and increase the suction performance again. Actuate the cleaning button (1) six times while the equipment is in operation with the end of the suction hose. Keep the button pressed down for 4 seconds each time you actuate it. Ensure that the suction hose does not become kinked when you do so.
