Setup and Assembly
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any damage during transit. Ensure all listed accessories are present.
2. Attaching the Wheels
Insert the castor wheels into the designated slots on the base of the vacuum cleaner until they click securely into place. Ensure all wheels rotate freely.
3. Filter Installation
- For Dry Vacuuming: Place the paper filter bag inside the tank, ensuring the opening aligns with the suction inlet. Install the high-efficiency cartridge filter onto the motor head's filter cage.
- For Wet Vacuuming: Remove the paper filter bag. The high-efficiency cartridge filter is suitable for both wet and dry use, but for prolonged wet use, a dedicated foam filter (if supplied or purchased separately) may be preferred. Ensure the cartridge filter is clean and properly seated.
4. Connecting the Hose and Accessories

- Connect the steel suction tubes to the end of the hose.
- Attach the desired nozzle (crevice tool or floor nozzle) to the end of the suction tubes.
Operating Instructions
1. Dry Vacuuming
For dry debris, ensure the paper filter bag is installed and the cartridge filter is clean and correctly seated. Plug the vacuum cleaner into a suitable 230V power outlet. Turn the power switch to the 'ON' position. Guide the nozzle over the area to be cleaned.

2. Wet Vacuuming
Before wet vacuuming, remove the paper filter bag from the tank. Ensure the cartridge filter is installed. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a float mechanism that will automatically shut off suction when the tank is full. When this happens, turn off the vacuum, unplug it, and empty the tank. Do not overfill the tank.
3. Blower Function
To use the blower function, detach the suction hose from the inlet port and connect it to the exhaust port located on the motor head. Turn the vacuum cleaner on. This function is useful for clearing leaves, sawdust, or other light debris from surfaces.

4. Power Tool Connection
The vacuum cleaner features an integrated power socket (Max 2000W) for connecting power tools. When a power tool is connected and the vacuum is set to the appropriate mode (usually indicated by a power tool symbol on the switch), the vacuum will automatically start when the power tool is activated and stop shortly after the tool is turned off. This helps in dust extraction during power tool operation.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum cleaner.
1. Emptying the Tank
After each use, especially after wet vacuuming, empty the tank. Release the latches securing the motor head, lift the motor head, and carefully pour out the contents. Clean the inside of the tank with a damp cloth if necessary.
2. Filter Cleaning and Replacement
- Cartridge Filter: For dry use, tap the filter gently to dislodge dust. For wet use, rinse the filter with water and allow it to air dry completely before reinstallation. Replace the cartridge filter when it shows signs of wear or reduced performance.
- Paper Filter Bag: Replace the paper filter bag when it is full or when suction power decreases significantly during dry vacuuming.
3. Accessory Care
Clean all hoses, tubes, and nozzles regularly to prevent blockages. Use a mild detergent and water if needed, and ensure they are dry before storage.
