3. Setup and Assembly
Before initial use, assemble the vacuum cleaner components as described below.
3.1 Unpacking and Component Check
- Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
- Check that all components listed in the 'Included Components' section of the specifications are present and undamaged.
3.2 Attaching the Wheels and Castors
Attach the large wheels and smaller castors to the base of the vacuum cleaner for mobility.
3.3 Filter Installation
The type of filter required depends on whether you are performing wet or dry vacuuming.
- For Dry Vacuuming: Install the HEPA pleated filter and the non-woven dust bag (25 L) into the tank. Ensure the bag is properly seated around the inlet.
- For Wet Vacuuming: Remove the non-woven dust bag. Install the foam filter over the motor housing. The HEPA pleated filter should also be removed for wet vacuuming to prevent damage.
3.4 Connecting the Suction Hose and Accessories
- Connect the flexible suction hose to the inlet port on the vacuum cleaner. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Attach the telescopic suction tube to the end of the hose.
- Select the appropriate nozzle (e.g., combination nozzle, crevice nozzle, brush nozzle) for your cleaning task and attach it to the telescopic tube.
This image demonstrates how to securely connect the flexible suction hose to the vacuum cleaner's inlet port.
Various nozzles and filters are included for both dry and wet vacuuming, such as a combination nozzle, crevice nozzle, brush nozzle, HEPA pleated filter, non-woven bag, and foam filter.

4.2 Dry Vacuuming
For dry vacuuming, ensure the HEPA pleated filter and the non-woven dust bag are correctly installed. The vacuum cleaner is suitable for collecting dry debris, dust, and fine particles.
4.3 Wet Vacuuming
For wet vacuuming, remove the non-woven dust bag and ensure the foam filter is installed. The vacuum cleaner will automatically shut off when the maximum liquid level is reached in the tank. Empty the tank immediately after wet vacuuming.
4.4 Using the Automatic Power Outlet for Tools
The integrated power outlet allows you to connect electric tools (up to 2200 W) directly to the vacuum cleaner. When the tool is switched on, the vacuum cleaner will automatically start, and when the tool is switched off, the vacuum cleaner will stop after a short delay to clear the hose.
This image shows the integrated automatic power outlet, which allows for connecting electric tools. The vacuum cleaner automatically starts or stops when the connected tool is switched on or off.
4.5 Blowing Function
The vacuum cleaner can also be used as a blower. To activate this function, connect the suction hose to the exhaust port on the back of the unit. This is useful for clearing debris from hard-to-reach areas or blowing leaves.

5.1 Filter Cleaning
The Einhell TE-VC 2580 SACL features an integrated filter cleaning system. To clean the filter:
- Ensure the vacuum cleaner is switched on.

A hand is pressing the filter cleaning button, which activates the integrated filter cleaning system to restore suction power by clearing accumulated dust from the filter.
For thorough cleaning, the HEPA pleated filter can be removed and gently tapped or brushed to remove stubborn dust. The foam filter should be rinsed with water and allowed to dry completely before reinstallation.
5.2 Emptying the Collection Tank
- For Liquids: Use the water drain plug at the bottom of the tank to easily empty collected liquids.
- For Solids: Disconnect the motor head from the tank and carefully empty the contents. Dispose of the non-woven dust bag when full.
