NOTE: If you are using the unit for fine dust collection, you will need to fit the dust collection bag (WD0188) in addition  
to the cartridge filter. To fit this, push the card sleeve over the inlet stub as shown below. Be careful to avoid tearing the  
bag. Once the dust collection bag becomes full it should be disposed of. Spare bags are available to purchase from  
Earlex, part code WDACC19.  
For dry pick up - always ensure the filter is completely dry before use.  
For wet pick up - ensure that the filter is not left submerged for longer than necessary. The combined filter supplied  
is for light duty wet pick up. If you are regularly picking up wet deposits we recommend  
you purchase a heavy duty combined filter from Earlex, part number WDACC13. Please  
call us on 01483 454666 for more information.  
12. Once the filter is fitted (and dust collection bag if required), place the motor  
housing back on top of the collection bin.  
13. Fit the outlet elbow to the outlet on the back of the motor housing as shown.  
The outlet elbow can be used to deflect airflow from the motor away from the  
work area.  
OPERATION  
1. Ensure that the motor housing is clipped onto the collection bin.  
2. Fully unwind the mains cable and connect to the mains or extension lead.  
POWER TOOL MODE  
3. The unit has three settings at switch. In continuous mode (I) the vacuum will run while  
SWITCH POSITIONS

Vacuum Function  
1. To use the unit for suction, fit the wider end of the hose into the inlet stub as shown right.  
2. Fit the extension tubes into each other and into the hose, and attach the desired accessory  
to the end of the extension tube.  
3. To assemble the floor head, clip the brush/squeegee attachment into place using the  
securing tabs on the sides of the head - see images A & B below.  
4. Unwind the mains cable and connect to mains or extension lead.

Blower Function  
NOTE: Always switch the unit off before changing between vacuum and blower

the motor housing, as shown, or into the outlet elbow if convenient.  
2. Always ensure that the tank, hose & accessories have been cleared of any debris before  
operating the blower.  
3. You should always protect your eyes with safety goggles and ensure no one else is in  
close proximity.

4. Unwind the mains cable and connect to mains or extension lead.  
5. Switch unit on and operate as required.  
6. You can also use the blower function to power the CombiSpray® Gun, which is available as an  
optional extra (WDACC18). This paint spray gun gives an expert finish on doors, cupboards,  
metals, fences, arts & crafts and can use a wide variety of paints/varnishes.  
POWER TOOL ADAPTOR  
The unit is supplied with a stepped power tool adaptor, designed to fit on the  
exhaust port of many sanders, planers and jigsaws. Fit the large end into the hose  
and the small end into the exhaust port on the power tool. It may be necessary to  
cut the smaller sections off the adaptor, depending on the size of the exhaust port.  
FLOAT SHUT OFF  
The unit is protected by an automatic shut-off float valve when the collection bin becomes full of liquid. Once the  
bin becomes full the motor will start to make a high pitched noise. If this happens:  
1. Switch off the unit and disconnect from the mains.  
2. Lift the hose up to drain any liquid back into the bin.  
3. Empty the contents of the bin, keeping the hose raised to eliminate any spillages. Be careful as the tank may  
be heavier than it appears.  
The float valve is a safety device and is there for your safety. Do not attempt to modify or remove this.  
Should the cleaner overturn in use, switch the unit off immediately and return to an upright position.  
If collecting soapy water you will need to regularly check if the unit requires emptying as lather can bypass the  
float system and there can be a discharge of foam. Should this occur:  
1. Switch off the unit.  
2. Wash out any foam in the filter.  
3. Tip away any water around the outlet on the motor housing before recommencing work.  
EMPTYINg THE TANK  
WARNINg - TAKE CARE, THE TANK MAY BE HEAVIER THAN YOU THINK. BEWARE OF EXCESS WEIgHT.  
1. Switch off the unit and unplug from mains.  
2. Unclip the motor housing from the collection bin.  
3. Empty the bin of all contents taking care to protect against yourself sharp objects.  
4. Clean the filters and change if necessary (see below instructions).  
5. Check and clean any blockages within the unit.  
6. Replace motor housing, plug into mains and continue as before.  
CLEANINg & MAINTENANCE  
After using the cleaner in wet mode, empty, rinse and dry the collection bin, hose and accessories. If it has been  
used for sticky liquid spills, clean the tank and accessories with warm, soapy water.  
Wash dirt from the filter using warm, soapy water. Once all the dirt has been removed, rinse the filter under a  
running tap, allowing the water to pass from the inside to the outside of the filter. This will improve its  
performance. If the filter is very clogged, immerse it in a bucket of warm, soapy water and leave to soak for a  
short period of time.  
For dry pick up, always ensure that the unit is completely dry before use.  
Do NOT oil the motor. It is lubricated for the life of the product.  
Periodically replace the dust collection bag. For replacements, please contact Earlex on 01483 454666.  
Clean the brush/squeegee attachment for the floor head with warm, soapy water.  
There are no serviceable parts inside the unit apart from the filters.

Check and clear any blockages within the system.  
Check that the filter is clean and not damaged.  
The motor makes a high pitched noise?  
Check if the cleaner needs emptying and the float valve has operated.  
Dust/grit is blowing out through the outlet?

MAINS CONNECTION  
The unit is a Class I appliance which means it is earthed for your protection.  
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by a genuine Earlex part, available through our Service  
Department. It must be replaced by the manufacturer, its Service Agents or similarly qualified personnel in order to  
avoid a hazard.

circumstances insert such a plug into a 13 amp socket.  
2. NEVER under any circumstances use the appliance or mains lead without the fuse cover fitted. This is the  
cover on the base of the plug to hold the fuse in place.  
3. If you lose the fuse cover then please contact our helpline on 01483 454666.  
4. A replacement fuse must be rated at 13 amps. These must be manufactured and approved to BS1362.
