Locking or unlocking the caster
For Models VC1310L and VC2510L (Fig. 9)
For Model VC3210L (Fig. 10)
To lock the caster with a stopper, lower the stopper lever
and the caster no longer will rotate. To release the caster
from the locked position, raise the stopper lever.
Locking the caster is convenient when storing the cleaner,
stopping the work on the way and keeping the cleaner
still.
To operate the stopper, move it by hand.
NOTE:
• When moving the cleaner, make sure that the caster is
unlocked. Moving the cleaner with the caster in the
locked position may cause damage to the caster.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the cleaner is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the cleaner.
Installing the water filter (Fig. 11)
To pick up water or wet dust, remove prefilter and damper
and then use water filter.
When installing the water filter on the tank, set it tight at
the opening of the tank so that the hook of the water filter
engages the tank opening firmly and there is no space
between the water filter and the tank. (Fig. 12)
Also, install the water filter so that the mounting position
marking can be aligned.
NOTE:
• Models VC2510L and VC3210L have no mounting
position marking and no need to align it.
Installing the paper pack
WARNING:
• When using the paper pack, also use the prefilter
together that is preinstalled on the tool. Failure to use
the prefilter together may cause unusual noise and
heat, resulting in a fire.
CAUTION:
• Never pick up water or other liquids or wet dusts when
using the paper pack. Picking up such things may
cause the paper pack breakage.
1. Remove the rubber holder. (Fig. 13)
2. Extend the paper pack.
3. Align the paper pack opening with the dust suction
opening of the cleaner. (Fig. 14 & 15)
4. Insert the cardboard of the paper pack onto the too so
that it is positioned at the end beyond the detent
protrusion.
Installing the pipe holder (optional
accessory)
For Model VC1310L only
Depress the cord hook as shown in the figure. (Fig. 16)
Attach the pipe holder onto the cord hook. (The hooks are
away from the tank cover.)
Raise the pipe holder as far as the hooks contact the tank
cover and press the A section of the pipe holder. (Fig. 17)
Press the A section with a great force and with the A
section so pressed lower the pipe holder. (Fig. 18)
Fit two protrusion of the pipe holder into the grooves of the
tank cover and then press down the pipe holder. (Fig. 19
& 20)
NOTE:
• The pipe holder that is excessively lowered than the
intended position cannot be installed on the cord hook
with the hook away from the tank cover as shown in the
figure. (Fig. 21)
NOTE:
• Make sure that the two hooks of the pipe holder are
hooked on the tank cover securely. (Fig. 22)
Connecting a hose
CAUTION:
• Never force the hose for bending or stamp it. Never
move the cleaner by a hose. Forcing, stamping and
pulling the hose may cause a breakage or deformation
of the hose.
• When picking up large wastes such as planer carvings,
concrete dusts or similars other than small wastes, use
the 38 mm inner diameter hose (optional accessory).
Using the 28 mm inner diameter hose may cause a
hose stuffing and damage.
Insert the hose onto the mounting port of the tank and turn
it clockwise until it locks. (Fig. 23)
Installing polyethylene bag
Cleaner can also be used without polyethylene bag.
However, using polyethylene bag is easier to empty the
tank without letting your hands dirty.
Spread the polyethylene bag in the tank. Insert it between
the holder plate and the tank, and pull it to the hose inlet.
(Fig. 24)
Spread the bag around the top of the tank.
Hook up the other side of the bag around the top of the
tank so that the prefilter hook can catch and hold it
securely. (Fig. 25)
NOTE:
• A polyethylene bag available on the market can be
used. The 0.04 mm or thicker one is recommended.
• Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so do not collect
the dust more than the half of the bag capacity.
Emptying the polyethylene bag
WARNING:
• Always make sure that the cleaner is switched off and
unplugged before emptying the polyethylene bag.
Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and
serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply a great impact on the powder filter and
tank. Applying a great impact may cause deformation
and damage to powder filter and tank.
• Empty the tank at least once a day although this
depends on picked-up dust volume in the tank. Or, the
suction force will weaken and the motor may be
broken.
• Do not grab the hook when emptying the tank.
Grabbing the hook may cause the hook to break.
