INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing an Earlex CombiPowerVac

. The uses for this product around the home, garage, workshop and garden are numerous and we hope you will find the product is in constant use. This cleaner can be used for picking up all kinds of dry material such as dust, brick dust, nails, broken glass, leaves, litter, wood shavings etc. In wet mode it can pick up various types of liquid spills and help to unblock sinks. In blow mode it can be used for jobs such as collecting leaves into piles, dusting out the garage or workshop. With the Power Take Off used in conjunction with power tools it becomes a dust extraction unit.

Due to the heavy duty nature of a wet & dry cleaner the motor may sound louder than your normal cleaner. In order to be able to pick up liquids, a special by-pass motor is fitted so that the liquid can be deposited into the recovery tank without going through the motor.

Before leaving our factory each unit has been checked to ensure that it meets our high safety, quality and performance standards.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR IF YOU BELIEVE A PART IS MISSING, DO NOT RETURN
