Filter Installation:

Dry Vacuuming:

  • Ensure the paper dust bag is installed and the foam filter is removed.
  • Connect the power plug to a suitable electrical outlet (230V~).
  • Turn the vacuum cleaner ON using the power switch.
  • Use the appropriate nozzle for the surface (e.g., combination nozzle for carpets or smooth floors).

Wet Vacuuming:

  • Remove the paper dust bag. Ensure the foam filter is correctly installed over the motor housing.
  • Do not use the paper dust bag for wet vacuuming.
  • Connect the power plug and turn the unit ON.
  • Vacuum liquids. The float valve will automatically shut off suction when the container is full to prevent overflow.
  • Empty the container immediately after wet vacuuming.

Blowing Function:

  • Disconnect the suction hose from the inlet port.
  • Connect the suction hose to the exhaust (blower) port, typically located on the back or side of the motor head.
  • Turn the unit ON. The vacuum cleaner will now function as a blower, useful for clearing debris from hard-to-reach areas.

Tool Power Outlet:

The NTS30 is equipped with an integrated tool power outlet (230 V~, Max. 2000 W) on the motor head. This allows you to connect power tools directly to the vacuum cleaner. When the connected tool is switched on, the vacuum cleaner will automatically start, providing synchronized dust extraction. It will also switch off a few seconds after the tool is turned off to clear any remaining dust from the hose.

5. Maintenance

  • Paper Dust Bag (Dry Vacuuming): Replace the paper dust bag when it is full or when suction power decreases significantly. Do not attempt to reuse or clean paper bags.
