The control lamp indicates readiness for
operation. The vacuum cleaner is automatically
switched on at the same time by switching the
electric tool on and off. When connected up to
the mains cable (10) the appliance plugbox (6) is
under voltage; this applies also when both the
ON/OFF switch (5) and the selector switch (7) are
switched off.
Wet vacuuming
Always remove the filter assembly (figure
C,D+E) before commencing wet vacuuming,
since otherwise the filter assembly will be
ruined. Do not forget to unplug the line cord
before removing the motor housing (2) from
the tank.
When vacuuming out containers in which the
liquid level is higher than the top of the collecting
bin and which have a larger volume than the
capacity of the collecting bin, liquid can continue
to be vacuumed beyond the capacity of the
collecting bin if the float valve is closed.
In such cases, vacuum only in partial amounts and
intermittently empty the collecting bin.
Lift the tube and flexible hose out of the liquid first and
then turn off the appliance afterwards, in order to
prevent an afterflow of liquid.
Keep the float valve (27, fig. K) clean and
accessible at all times. It automatically interrupts
vacuuming when the collecting bin is full.
After completion of wet vacuuming, please clean
and dry the appliance and the accessories used.
If unexpected difficulties arise
If your appliance does not operate to your satisfaction,
you do not have to contact customer service straight
away. Please check first as to whether the fault is due
one of the following minor causes:
Dust escaping from suction sockets:
- Has the filter system been fitted in accordance with
the instructions?
- Has an original THOMAS filter been used?
Gradual reduction in suction power:
- Are the pores of the tissue filter clogged up by dust
or soot?
- Is the collecting bin full?
- Is there a blockage in the nozzle, extension tube or
flexible hose?/Stretch the flexible hose while the
appliance is switched on – this will loosen the
obstruction.)
Water is coming out of the air expulsion
openings of the appliance during
vacuuming:
- Is the float (figure K) blocked when vacuuming liquid
and unable to operate?
Sudden reduction in suction power
- Has the float stopped the flow of air? This can
happen if the appliance is standing at a slant or if
the appliance falls over. Turn off the vacuum
cleaner – the float will fall back into place – the
appliance is ready for use again.
The motor does not function:
- Is there damage to the mains cable, plug or socket?
- Pull out the plug before checking.
- Never open the motor yourself!
Customer Service:
Ask your dealer for the address or telephone number
of your nearest THOMAS Customer Service.
Specify your model number and type when contacting
your dealer – you will find these details on the rating
plate.
To maintain the safety of your appliance,
you should have repairs, especially on live
parts, carried out by a trained electrician
only. In the event of a fault, you should
therefore approach your dealer or the
THOMAS Customer Service directly.
