FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
•Before plugging the cleaner, always make sure that the cleaner is switched off. Plugging the cleaner with the switch on may cause an unexpected start resulting in serious personal injury.
Switch action (Fig. 1)
To start the cleaner, rotate the switch lever to the “I” side. To stop it, rotate the switch lever to the “O” side.
The suction power can be adjusted according to your work need. (Fig. 2)
Suction power can be increased by turning the suction force adjusting knob from the 
symbol to the
symbol.
Connecting electric power tools
WARNING:
•Observe the maximum connected loads for the appliance socket (Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS.)
•Make sure that both the cleaner and the electric power tool are switched off before connecting or disconnecting. Connecting the power tool to the cleaner with both of them being switched on may cause
unexpected and sudden start resulting serious personal injury.
When connecting a grounded tool, insert a plug with a grounding plate to the socket of the cleaner. (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
•Never connect an electric power tool with an input power exceeding that specified in the “SPECIFICATIONS” to the socket of the cleaner by turning the suction force adjusting knob. Connecting
the electric power tool exceeding the specified input power may cause overheat and damage to the cleaner. Refer to the specifications to avoid this.
The cleaner can be connected to an electric power tool up to input power shown in the “SPECIFICATIONS”.
To connect an electric power tool, open the cap and insert the power tool plug into the socket of the cleaner.
Rotate the switch lever to the “AUTO” position. (Fig. 2) Move the suction force adjusting knob to the position suitable for the input power of the electric power tool you intend to use. Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS for the relation between suction force adjusting knob and the electric power tool input power.
Switching on and off of the connected electric power tool simultaneously brings the cleaner switching on and off action. The cleaner still works for a few seconds even after the electric power tool is switched off.
After use, disconnect the power tool from the socket of cleaner.
Switch off the cleaner after use.
Auto-suction stop during suction operation
WARNING:
•Do not use for a long time while the float is at work. Using the cleaner with its float at work for a long time can cause overheat, resulting in the cleaner deformation.
•Do not pick up foam or soapy liquid. Picking up foam or soapy liquid can cause foam to come out of air exit before the float works. Continuing to using in this condition may cause an electric shock and breakage of
the cleaner.
The cleaner has a float mechanism that prevents water from immersing into the motor when picking up more than a certain amount of water.
When the tank is full and the cleaner no longer picks up water, switch off the cleaner and empty the tank.
Installing the holder (Fig. 4)
When connecting an electric power tool, secure the power supply cord and hose using the holders at a 70 cm -
80 cm distance among the holders that are provided with the cleaner so that the hose is not entangled by the power supply cord.
Usage of base hook
CAUTION:
•Be careful not to pinch your fingers when closing the base hook. Failure to do so may cause personal injury.
NOTE:
• Do not apply an excessive force on the base hook. The excessive force on the base hook may damage the base hook. Close the base hook when not in use.
Opening the base hook allows the following usage.
1. Storing the power supply cord NOTE:
•Do not use the cleaner or a connected electric power tool with a power supply cord wound on the base hook. Using the cleaner or the connected electric power tool with power supply cord may cause damage
the power supply cord. (Fig. 5) 2. Storing the front cuffs
Front cuffs 22, 24 and 38 can be stored (up to two at a time.) (Fig. 6)
3.Storing the hose (Fig. 7)
4.Resting a reasonable size of electric power tool for the base hook, such as circular saw. (Fig. 8)
