Spread the other top edges of the bag outwards over
the top rims of the tank. Place the cloth filter or prefilter
over the polyethylene bag to fasten the opening of the
bag securely.
► Fig.17: 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.
Emptying tank with
polyethylene bag
WARNING:
Always make sure that the cleaner
is switched off and the battery cartridges are
removed before emptying the tank. Failure to do
so may cause an electric shock and serious personal
injury.
NOTICE:
Do not apply a great impact on the float
cage and tank. Applying a great impact may cause
deformation and damage to the parts.
NOTICE:
Empty the tank at least once a day
although this depends on picked-up dust volume
in the tank. Or, the suction force will weaken and the
motor may be broken.
NOTICE:
Do not grab the hooks or latches when
emptying the tank. Grabbing the hooks or latches
may cause them to break.
Release the locking latches and lift the head unit up off
the tank.
Shake off dust from the cloth filter or prefilter before
lifting the filter away from the tank.
Then remove the polyethylene bag out of the tank,
closing the opening of the bag by hand.
► Fig.18: 1. Polyethylene bag 2. Tank
NOTE: Take the polyethylene bag out of the tank
carefully to avoid it from being scratched and torn by
the edges inside the tank.
NOTE: Empty the polyethylene bag before it
becomes full. Too much dust in the tank may cause
the polyethylene bag to be torn.
Installing multi hook
Use the multi hook to hold a hose, accessories and
attachments not in use in place, and you can quickly
take them out according to your preferences.
► Fig.19
Place the multi hook over the mounting base at the rear
of the cleaner, setting the rails on the multi hook along
the grooves on the mounting base.
► Fig.20: 1. Multi hook 2. Mounting base
Installing MAKPAC adapter
Optional accessory
Connectable and stackable MAKPAC storage cases
can be installed on top of the cleaner with an optional
adapter. The cases are available in many sizes and
styles to suit your preferences.
Place the mounting base hook over the handle of the
cleaner with its mounting surface facing upwards when
the handle is folded into the closed position.
► Fig.21: 1. Mounting base hook 2. Mounting surface
3. Handle
Mount the MAKPAC adapter onto the mounting base
hook, and secure them together with four screws
provided.

NOTE: For details on installing the MAKPAC cases,
refer to the instructions provided with the MAKPAC
adapter and cases.
Installing hose
NOTICE:
Never force the hose for bending or
stamp it. Never move the cleaner by pulling the
hose. Forcing, stamping and pulling the hose may
cause a breakage or deformation of the hose.
NOTICE:
When picking up large wastes such as
planer carvings, concrete dusts or similar other
than small wastes, use the 38 mm inner diameter
hose (optional accessory). Using the 28 mm inner
diameter hose (optional accessory) may cause a
hose stuffing and damage.
Connection to cleaner
Insert the hose end to the dust intake (hose inlet) of the
cleaner, then turn it clockwise until it locks in place.
► Fig.24: 1. Hose 2. Dust intake (hose inlet)
Connections with your work tools
(Country specific)
By connecting the vacuum cleaner to any available
work tools compatible with the cleaner, it works as a
dust extractor for your power tools.
Select one of the front cuffs or joints (optional acces-
sories) as most suitable for your tool model. Place the
cuffs or joint, as necessary, between the front end of the
cleaner hose and a dust extraction port of your tool.

Installing or removing cleaner
attachments
CAUTION:
After installing an attachment,
check if it is securely installed. If the attachment
is installed imperfectly, it may come off and cause
personal injury.
