solely.
Installing the water filter
Optional accessory for cloth filter model
CAUTION:
Never pick up water or wet dust
without the float and the cloth filter or the water
filter.
CAUTION:
For picking up wet dust, make
sure that the float cage and the float are installed
on the cleaner.
CAUTION:
When installing the water filter on
the tank, set it tight at the opening of the tank so
that the hook of the water filter engages the tank
opening firmly and there is no space between the
water filter and the tank.
To pick up water or wet dust only, the water filter is more
suitable than the cloth filter.
When installing the water filter, align its mounting posi-
tion mark with the one on the tank.

NOTE: It is recommended using water filter when
picking up large amount of water repeatedly.
Otherwise vacuum ability may be reduced in case of
cloth filter.

filter / prefilter together may cause unusual noise and
heat, resulting in a fire.

(For the cloth filter model)
• Never pick up water or other liquids or wet
dusts when using the paper pack. Picking up
such things may cause the paper pack breakage.
• Before using the paper pack, make sure that pow-
der filter (optional accessory), damper (optional

Installing the polyethylene bag
Cleaner can also be used without polyethylene bag.
However, using polyethylene bag is easier to empty the
tank without letting your hands dirty.
Spread the polyethylene bag in the tank. Insert it between
the holder plate and the tank, and pull it to the hose inlet.
► Fig.18: 1. Holder plate 2. Polyethylene bag
Spread the bag around the top of the tank so that the cloth
filter / prefilter edge can catch and hold the bag securely.
► Fig.19: 1. Cloth filter / prefilter
NOTE: A polyethylene bag available on the
market can be used. 0.04 mm or thicker one is
recommended.
NOTE: Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so
do not collect the dust more than the half of the bag
capacity.
