VACUUMING DRY OBJECTS

To vacuum dry objects, do as follows:
1. Insert the vacuum hose (1) from the vacuum nozzle (2) on the collection tank, before
pulling the vacuum hose press the button (3) for unlocking the catch (Fig.1).
2. Select the most suitable accessory for the work to be carried out. Insert the selected
accessory into the vacuum hose, if necessary also use the extension tubes.
3. Insert the plug (4) of the power supply cable (5) in the mains supply socket (6) (Fig.2).
ATTENTION: Do not exceed the maximum mains impedance value allowed for the
electrical connection point (see Technical Data). Please contact your electrical energy
supplier if in doubts concerning mains impedance on the connecting point.

N.B. : If the type of work requires it, also start the second vacuum motor.
ATTENTION: Risk of damage! If dry vacuuming, never remove the cloth filter while
vacuuming. Vacuuming fine dust requires the replacement of the cloth filter with a more
appropriate cartridge filter (optional component).
If when working a reduction in the vacuum power is noted or the noise of the machine becomes
louder:
•
Switch off the machine by positioning the main switch (7) to the rest position (Fig. 3).
•
Remove the plug (4) of the power supply cable (5) from the mains supply socket (6) (Fig.2).
WARNING: To prevent damaging to the mains socket, disconnect the plug from the mains
socket by directly pulling the plug and not the power cable.
•
Remove the vacuum head (8) using the handle on it, before removing the head loosen the
locking hooks (9) on the side of the collection tank (10) (Fig.4).
•
Remove the nylon filter (11) from the inside of the drum (Fig. 5), shake and clean the nylon
filter
N.B. : If the surface of the filter is extremely dirty, brush the filter with a normal soft brush to
clean it thoroughly.
•
Empty the collection tank.
N.B. : The place intended for this operation must comply with local environmental
regulations.
•
Repeat the operations in reverse order to start working again.
N.B. : If the previous operations have not resolved the low vacuum, switch off the machine
and remove blockage from the vacuum hose or from the accessories being used.
