FAQs
Can this vacuum cleaner be used for fine dust like plaster dust?
Yes, it is suitable for dry debris including sawdust and dust. For very fine dust, ensure the correct filter is installed and regularly cleaned or replaced to maintain performance and prevent motor damage.
How do I switch between wet and dry cleaning modes?
For wet cleaning, ensure the motor's filter is removed or a specific wet-use filter is installed. For dry cleaning, ensure the appropriate dry filter is securely in place. Always unplug the vacuum before changing filters or making adjustments.
What is the purpose of the anti-static discharge chain?
The anti-static discharge chain helps to safely dissipate static electricity that can build up during operation, reducing the risk of static shocks or sparks, which is important in certain workshop environments.
How do I empty the 100-litre tank when it's full of liquid?
The vacuum features an easy-drain water outlet. Connect a hose to this outlet and open the valve to allow the liquid to drain out quickly and conveniently without needing to lift the heavy tank.
What accessories are included with the vacuum?
The vacuum typically comes with a complete accessory kit, which may include various nozzles for wet and dry use, extension tubes, a crevice tool, and a brush nozzle for versatile cleaning applications.
Is the power cable length sufficient for large areas?
Yes, it includes a 5m power cable, offering good reach. Combined with the 5m hose, this provides a substantial working radius without needing to frequently move the vacuum or unplug it.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum has no suction
Check that all motors are switched on (if desired), ensure the hose and accessories are not blocked, verify the tank is not full of liquid (if in dry mode), and check that the filter is clean and correctly installed.
Motor will not turn on
Verify the power cable is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the power switch on the vacuum unit. Ensure the grounding chain is properly attached if it's a safety requirement for operation.
Loss of suction during operation
The tank may be full of liquid or debris. Empty the tank. The filter may be clogged; clean or replace the filter. Check the hose and accessories for blockages.
Excessive static discharge
Ensure the anti-static discharge chain is properly connected to the vacuum and grounded. This is especially important when vacuuming fine dust or in dry environments.
Water leaking from the tank
Check that the tank lid is securely fastened and that the easy-drain outlet is properly closed. Inspect the tank for any cracks or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the vacuum is placed on a stable, level surface. Connect the hose securely to the intake port, ensuring the Hose-Lock system engages. If using for dry vacuuming, confirm the appropriate filter is installed. For wet vacuuming, ensure the filter is removed or the correct wet-use filter is fitted as per the manufacturer's instructions. Attach the desired nozzle or accessory. Plug into a suitable power outlet (230V).
Compatibility: This vacuum is designed for use with standard 230V power outlets. It is compatible with the included accessory kit and any standard vacuum hose attachments of the appropriate diameter.
Care: After each use, empty the tank. For dry debris, empty the dust container and clean the filter. For wet use, use the easy-drain outlet to remove liquids and wipe the tank dry. Regularly inspect the power cable and hose for any signs of damage. Store the vacuum in a dry, protected area. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the grounding chain is intact and properly connected.
