Filter systems
THOMAS long-life wet and dry filter (12)
Due to its large surface area, this guarantees a
long service life, provides an optimum suction
pressure retention and is indispensable for
vacuuming moist dirt.
Paper filter bag (13)
THOMAS paper filter bags are increasing the
suction pressure retention in association with the
long-life wet and dry filter (12).
Dry vacuum cleaning
Notes!
As water can destroy the paper filter bag (13),
ensure that no water resides in the hose or in the
container.
– To ensure that this does not occur, raise the
hose and allow the appliance to run for a
short period after wet vacuuming. Wipe the
container dry.
Never use the appliance for dry
vacuuming without a filter.
A Disconnect the power plug and remove the
motor assembly (7).
Filter system
F Grip the paper filter bag (13) at the card-
board edges and press firmly onto the suction
inlet (2). Then smooth the paper filter bag onto
the container walls.
E Place the long-life wet and dry filter (12) flat
on the motor flange and slide on to its fullest
extent. Secure with the twist fasteners (29).
A Set the motor assembly in place. Switch the
unit on at the switch (3).
H The suction power can be changed by using
the suction regulator (11) (air bypass slide).
Air bypass slide closed = full suction power
Air bypass slide open = reduced suction
power
Changing the filter

F Unplug the mains supply cable. Remove the
motor assembly from the container (see
illustration
A
ࠗ). Grip the full paper filter bag
(13) ot the cardboard edges and pull off the
suction inlet (2). Insert a new paper filter bag
as described above.

E Unplug the mains supply cable. Remove the
motor assembly from the container (see
illustration
A
ࠗ). Release the twist clip (29),
remove and clean the filter (by beating or
brushing). Replace if heavily soiled or worn.
Wet vacuum cleaning
Notes!
Liquids can be extracted directly from containers
or sumps using the suction hose or the suction
pipe.
When extracting liquids from containers in which
the level is higher than the container of the
appliance and whose volume is larger than the
capacity of the container, the liquid can continue
to flow when the container is full and the float
valve is closed. In such cases, extract in batches,
emptying the container in between.
After extraction, remove the suction pipe from the
liquid and hold the suction pipe and hose pointing
upwards (to prevent the continued flow of the
liquid) before switching off the motor.
After extracting liquids, clean and dry the contai-
ner and all used parts (as described in ”after
wet cleaning”).
A Disconnect from the mains supply and remove
the motor assembly (7). Always, remove the
paper filter bag (13) and the long-life wet and
dry filter (12) before extracting liquids (see
illustrations
E
ࠗ and
F
ࠗ ), as they may
otherwise be destroyed.
When cleaning moist or wet dirt, insert the
THOMAS long-life wet and dry filter. The
paper filter bag (13) must be removed.
Replace the motor assembly and switch the
appliance back on with the switch (3).
G Always keep the float valve (40) clean and
free from obstructions. It automatically
interrupts suction when the container is full.
