How to use

Before operation, ensure the tank is empty and any transport locks are released. Select the appropriate nozzle and accessories for wet or dry cleaning, then plug the vacuum into a grounded outlet using the 4-metre cable. Switch the unit on and vacuum the area, keeping the nozzle at a steady distance from the surface for optimal pickup. For liquid pickup, monitor the tank level and stop before the maximum fill mark. Use the filter cleaning function periodically during heavy dust collection to maintain suction; turn off and unplug the unit before removing or cleaning the filter and emptying the tank.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate accessories and filters for the type of material being collected. Avoid vacuuming flammable or reactive liquids and do not pick up hot ash or embers. For prolonged workshop use, check hoses and seals regularly and empty the tank before storing the unit to prevent odors and corrosion.
