Vacmaster VDK1538SWC Instructions page 13

When reduction of air flow (≤20m/s) has occurred during operation, the air flow indicator next to the
filter cleaning button located on top of the power head will admit a flashing red LED. If the suction
performance diminishes, you can improve the suction power with the help of the filter cleaning
system (Fig. 15).
1) Position the end of the suction hose nozzle into the channel located within the filter cleaner
button.
2) Move the on/off switch to the "I" position.
3) Turn the power regulator to the MAX position.
4) Press the filter cleaning button down and hold it down for 3-4 seconds (Fig. 16).
5) Repeat the process two more times.
5. Wet & Dry Vacuum Operation
WARNING: ENSURE YOU READ, UNDERSTAND AND APPLY SECTION
ENTITLED 'SAFETY INFORMATION'.
WARNING: DO NOT VACUUM IN AREAS WITH FLAMMABLE GASES,
VAPOURS, OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR. FLAMMABLE GASES OR

1) Verify that the correct filter is installed and the container latches are secured.
2) Secure the locking end of the hose into the vacuum suction port.
3) Push the desired accessories onto the hose nozzle. The air flow regulation allows you to change
vacuum cleaner suction. For best cleaning results, fully close the air flow regulation (Fig. 17).
4) Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
5) Turn on the motor by assigning the switch to the "I" ON position.
6) Once you have completed vacuuming, switch to the "O" OFF position and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet.
For Dry Vacuuming:
WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING OR CLEANING THE VACUUM
CLEANER FILTER, ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS SWITCHED OFF
AND UNPLUGGED.
WARNING: ALWAYS USE A P2-RESPIRATOR WHEN VACUUMING
HAZARDOUS DUSTS.
1) To prepare your vacuum cleaner for dry vacuuming, install the cartridge filter over the filter
cage. Carefully push filter until it sits flush forming a tight seal. Tighten the filter retainer lock
clockwise to secure against the internal filter cage (Fig. 18).
2) Install the dust bag and/or the disposable bag onto the suction port inlet. Refer to page 11 for
installation instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Before picking up dust with occupational exposure limit values:
Check that all the filters are present and properly fitted.
For safety reasons, a visual warning indicator will activate if the air flow in the suction hose drops
to below 20 m/s.
