5.1 Aspiració en sec
For dry debris, ensure the cartridge filter is clean and properly installed. Connect the hose to the suction port. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Flip the waterproof on/off switch to the 'ON' position. Guide the appropriate nozzle over the dry debris to collect it. The powerful 6.5 Peak HP motor provides strong suction for sawdust, metal shavings, and other dry materials.

Before wet vacuuming, remove the cartridge filter and install a foam filter (if applicable, refer to specific filter instructions for wet use). Connect the hose to the suction port. Plug in the unit and turn it on. Use the appropriate nozzle to pick up liquids. The 16-gallon tank capacity allows for significant liquid collection. To empty liquids, utilize the built-in drain port at the bottom of the tank.
