USE
•Place appliance on back (like a rucksack) and adjust shoulder straps and belt to suit.
a.Adjust shoulder straps using buckles at top and bottom.
b.Fasten belt around waist using the Velcro fastening.
•NOTE: Check position of on/off button (25) for quick access in event of emergency. The on/off button is at the bottom of the left side of the appliance when you have it on.
•Plug in and switch the power on.
•Press the on/off button to start and stop the appliance.
•While in use, the suction force can be regulated by opening and closing the air valve (3) on the handle.
a.When the vent closes full suction is achieved. This is the normal setting.
b.When the vent opens, more air is allowed in, reducing suction power at the floor nozzle. This function is for cleaning curtains and other light items which can get sucked into the nozzle.
•The floor nozzle bristles have two settings which can be selected using the brush function button on top of the nozzle.
a.When cleaning hard surfaces (stone flooring, tiles, etc.), the nozzle brushes should be extended.
b.When cleaning carpets and rugs, the brushes should be retracted into the nozzle.
•If vacuum strength drops during use, check dust bag (see Replacing Dust Bag below).
•If full suction is not restored, by replacing bag, check hose or nozzle for blockage, or motor filter bag/filter could be dirty.
•NOTE: Check cause of fault and correct. Do not use appliance if any air holes are blocked. Permanent motor damage can result.
Tips for vacuum cleaning
•Use holsters on front of belt for accessories to ensure they are always handy.
•Each nozzle has a special purpose. Try each of them out in different situations.

Never pull or lift the appliance by the cord.
•Hose can be fitted to right or left side depending on which hand you want to use. Remove and turn lid to switch side (see Motor Filter Bag, Dust Bag and Lid above).
•Switch appliance function between blow and suck by moving hose.
oNOTE: The appliance will never blow dust and dirt out – only filtered air – as all the filters and dust bag will still be correctly fitted.
oTo use as a blower instead of vacuum cleaner, change air flow as follows:
a.Disconnect power, place appliance on floor.
b.Remove hose by turning clockwise and detaching from connector.
c.Remove exhaust filter (see Replacing Exhaust Filter below).

g.Fit hose to connector (see Fitting Hose and nozzle above).
h.Remember to switch hose back to normal position and replace exhaust filter in exhaust hole when finished with blowing function.
CHANGING THE DUST BAG
If the appliance loses suction strength during use, the dust- or motor filter bag can be dirty, and need replacing. Both bags are in the internal compartment (6).
NOTE: Never use the appliance if the bag is full or with no dust- and motor filter bag at all.
•Disconnect power, place appliance on floor.
•Remove hose by turning clockwise and detaching from connector.
•Open lid by pressing in the two lock studs on the sides and pulling upwards.
•Tip dust bag in lid upwards by pulling the curved edge on side of dust bag holder.
•Carefully extract bag from holder away from lid.
•Place bag carefully in refuse bin. Make sure that there are no holes in it. Do not fold or press the bag.
•Insert a new dust bag in holder.
•Click holder into place, check bag is secure and facing the right direction.
•Pull motor filter bag out of appliance and clean (see Cleaning below).

We recommend cleaning the motor filter bag at least twice a year, or whenever it is dirty.
