Cleaning & Changing the

cartridge without the debris screen in
place.
Warning: After each Use - Always
remove the Filter Debris Screen
from the HEPA Dust Cup Filter, then
vigorously “TapClean” HEPA Filter until
no more dust can be removed.
Using The Unit With Air
Driven Turbo Brush
The efficiency of your air driven turbo
brush depends on the bristle brush
rotating at high speed. Strong air suction
is needed to accomplish this. In order to
ensure that maximum air suction is
maintained, please read the following
instructions:
4. To use the flexible hose, push
the end of the hose into the
suction hole, then attach the
desired accessory to the other
end of the flexible hose,
Note: HEPA dust cup filter must be used
when operating the hand vacuum.
as shown below.
Using The Unit As A Hand
Vacuum
1. To open the dust
cup (container),
1. Empty the dust cup frequently.
2. Always "TAPCLEAN" the HEPA dust
cup filter when emptying the dust cup
container.
3. Ensure that the rotating brush is kept
free of hair and string which may
accumulate and decrease brush
performance.
4. Keep Air Driven Turbo Brush turbine
free of dirt and foreign matter. (See
illustration below for cleaning
instructions.)
push the dust cup
release button and
pull out the dust
cup. Verify that the
HEPA dust cup filter is inside

attach the dust cup (container) to
the hand vacuum.
How To Operate Your
Hand Vacuum
1. Hold the hand vacuum firmly in your
hand by the Handle.
2. Push the On/Off Power Switch to
“On” position.
3. Start vacuuming.
IMPORTANT, Please Note : The
“TapClean” HEPA Dust Cup Filter &
Debris Screen will stop most of the tiniest
dust particles and airborne allergens from
re-entering the air you breathe. In fact it
stops 99.97% of all particles as small as
0.3 microns - many times smaller than a
human hair!!! Because of this incredible
filtration performance, the HEPA Dust Cup
Filter will quickly accumulate, inside the
white filter folds, many fine dust particles
that are difficult to see but which will
eventually block or reduce your suction
power - if not cleaned properly. Clean the
HEPA Filter and Debris Screen after each
use as described in this section.
CAUTION: The Hand Vacuum is
a very powerful unit. Make sure
that you hold it firmly, otherwise it
can slip out of your hand and cause
injury.
