Using The Accessories

VACUUM ACCESSORIES

Accessories Fig. 3, 10

Two of the Hand Vac accessories are stored on board; the brush and crevice tool. They are positioned as shown in Fig. 3. See Fig. 10 for insertion of these tools into the bowl. The remaining accessories in Fig. 1 are shipped in the unit carton and can be stored in the storage bag provided. Note: Make sure accessories are securely attached before use.

Accessories Fig. 11

The accessories provided can be used in various combinations, depending on the task you need to do. Refer to Fig. 11 for arrangements of accessories to complete some typical tasks.

Note: Make sure accessories are securely attached before use.

BLOWING ACCESSORIES - Fig. 12 - 16

WARNING: Always wear eye protection when operating as Blower or Inflator.

CAUTION: Make sure accessories are securely attached before use. When using the accessory hose for blowing or inflating, hold the hose end securely before turning “ON” and during use.

Refer to Fig. 12 for two typical arrangements of accessories to carry out either blowing or inflation. For increased flexibility in blowing it is possible to also fit the tubes to the end of the hose. Blower: To attach the blowing adapter, open the rear door by pulling on the top recess as shown in Fig. 13. Insert the blow adapter into the opening as shown in Fig. 14. The blow adaptor should fit snug, with the rib fitted against the rear wall of the vacuum.

Inflation: For inflation mode use the tapered adaptors supplied which best fits your application. Fit the inflation adapter onto the hose, aligning the tab on the adapter with the hole in the hose adapter as shown in Fig. 15. Push adaptor in direction of arrow until it “clicks”. To remove, lift the tab up and pull off the adapter. During inflation control the airflow and pressure by covering the air bypass hole with your thumb as shown in Fig. 16.

CAUTION: Do not permanently cover the air bypass hole.

CAUTION: NEVER EXCEED RECOMMENDED PRESSURE. The item being inflated may burst and cause injury. Soft inflatable material items will not have existing pressure rating. Be careful not to over-inflate.

Cleaning The Hand Vac

CAUTION: UNPLUG VACUUM BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.

Cleaning Your Vac

Your Hand Vac is equipped with a clogged filter indicator as shown in Fig. 4. When the dirt bowl is full or the filters are plugged, the coloured indicator will move so it can be seen in the window on the fill indicator. When this happens the unit should be shut-off and checked for clogged accessories, a full dirt bowl, and dirty filters (both bowl filters and exhaust filter). After emptying the bowl or removing the clog the unit can be turned on and vacuuming continued.

Emptying the Dirt Bowl

Grasp the unit as shown in Fig. 5, with your thumb pushing down on the unlock button as shown and rotate the dirt bowl down and away from the unit. Empty the dirt bowl Fig. 6.

Removing the Filters

WARNING: Do not operate vacuum without filters in place.

Your Hand Vac comes equipped with a 2 stage filter in the bowl plus an exhaust filter. To remove the first stage filter grasp the unit as shown in Fig. 7.

With your other hand grasp the filter and push down on the latch located at the top of the filter. Rotate the filter down and off the unit.

To remove the 2nd stage filter grasp the filter and remove it as shown in Fig. 8. Tap or shake dust from filter. Both filters can be cleaned by rinsing under running water. Dry completely before replacing into the unit.

To replace the filters simply reverse the process making sure the 1st stage filter is located in the hook on the bottom face of the unit before rotating into place as shown by Fig. 9.

To clean exhaust filter, open rear blow door and pull filter out of recess. Wash filter by rinsing with water, dry thoroughly before replacing.

If the power cord plug does not fit fully into the receptacle, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the vacuum power cord in any way.
