How to use

Before operation, ensure the correct filter type is installed for the intended mode (dry or wet) and that all hose and accessory connections are secure. For wet pickup, confirm any recommended water-level protections or separators are in place and empty the tank when near capacity. For dry vacuuming, use the appropriate filter or cartridge and avoid picking up fine hot ash or large sharp objects that could damage the unit. After use, switch off power, disconnect the hose and accessories, and empty and rinse the tank if liquids were collected. Allow filters to dry before reinstalling when used in wet conditions.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable PPE when operating in dusty environments and maintain regular filter checks and tank emptying to preserve suction performance and extend service life. For prolonged wet use, monitor liquid level and empty promptly to prevent motor damage.
