FAQs
Can this vacuum be used for fine dust like plaster or drywall dust?
Yes, it is suitable for fine dust. For optimal performance and filter longevity with very fine dust, using the included dirt collection bag in conjunction with the pleated filter is recommended.
How do I switch between wet and dry vacuuming modes?
For dry vacuuming, ensure the pleated filter is installed and a dirt bag can be used. For wet vacuuming, remove the pleated filter and dirt bag, and install the foam filter. Ensure the drain screw is closed for wet pickup.
What is the purpose of the blowing connection?
The blowing connection allows you to reverse the airflow. This is useful for clearing dust and debris from areas that are difficult to reach with suction, such as crevices, radiators, or workshops.
What is the total reach of the vacuum cleaner?
The reach is approximately 5.5 meters, achieved by combining the 2.5-meter suction hose, the 2-piece suction pipe, and the 3-meter power cable.
How often should I clean or replace the filters?
The frequency depends on usage. Clean the pleated filter after each dry use and the foam filter after each wet use. Replace filters if they appear damaged or if suction performance noticeably decreases even after cleaning.
What is the maximum wattage for a power tool connected to the automatic socket?
The automatic power socket can handle power tools with a maximum power consumption of 1490 Watts.
Is the stainless steel container rust-proof?
Yes, stainless steel is inherently resistant to rust, making the container durable and easy to maintain, especially when dealing with liquids.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum does not turn on.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
Reduced suction power.
Check the dust bag or container for fullness and empty if necessary. Inspect the hose, pipes, and nozzles for blockages. Clean or replace the pleated or foam filter.
Automatic socket not working.
Ensure the power tool is plugged into the vacuum's socket and the vacuum is plugged into the main outlet. Verify the power tool's wattage does not exceed the 1490W limit. Test the power tool directly to ensure it functions.
Liquid leaking from the container.
Ensure the drain screw at the bottom of the container is fully tightened. Check the container seal for damage.
Unit overheats during use.
Turn off the vacuum and unplug it. Check air intake and exhaust vents for dust or debris obstruction. Allow the unit to cool down before resuming use.

- For wet vacuuming, ensure the drain screw is closed. For dry vacuuming, insert the included dirt collection bag if preferred.
