INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing an Earlex CombiVacTM. 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.

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.
