FOR DRY VACUUMING:
WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING OR CLEANING THE VACUUM
CLEANER FILTER, ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE
POWER OUTLET AND THE APPLIANCE IS SWITCHED OFF.
1. In order to prepare your vacuum cleaner for dry vacuuming, verify that the cartridge
filter is securely mounted. If the cartridge filter is not installed, follow the instructions
listed below.
2. Optionally, for improved dust filtration, fully fit the dust bag flange onto the inlet stub,
taking care not to damage the bag. The Vacuum cleaner can we be used with or without
dust bags.
3. Remove the power head and place in an upside down position.
4. Install the cartridge filter over the filter cage with the flat end of the filter towards the
vacuum power head. Carefully push filter until it sits flush against the power head
forming a tight seal (Fig. 6 & 7).
5. Place the filter retainer cap on top of cartridge filter over the raised lip and tighten by
turning the retainer lock clockwise to secure against the internal filter cage (Fig. 8 & 9).
IMPORTANT: Check the filter regularly for optimal performance. An old or blocked filter
will reduce suction performance.

General Operation
FOR WET VACUUMING:
WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING OR CLEANING THE VACUUM
CLEANER FILTER, ENSURE THAT THE POWER CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE
POWER OUTLET AND THE APPLIANCE IS SWITCHED OFF.
1. In order to prepare your vacuum cleaner for wet vacuuming, remove the power head
from the container and place in the upside down position (Fig. 10).
2. Remove the retainer cover and the dry use cartridge filter.
3. Carefully install the supplied foam filter over the internal filter cage, making sure the
whole cage is covered (Fig. 11).
WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR WET VACUUMING
DO NOT USE A DUST COLLECTION BAG FOR WET VACUUMING
IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not immerse the nozzle
completely in the liquid; leave a gap at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air inflow. The
machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction action when the container reaches
its maximum capacity. You will notice an increase in motor noise. When this happens,
turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable
receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, replace the drainage cap. After wet vacuuming,
turn off the machine and remove the plug from the power supply. Empty the container,
clean and dry inside and outside before storage.
REMEMBER! The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming and the reusable
cartridge filter must be reinstalled before dry vacuuming again.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK-UNPLUG BEFORE
TROUBLESHOOTING.
CLEANING PERFORMANCE
All vacuum cleaners are very simple and reliable machines, a motor with a fan attached to
move air through the machine.
Guild vacuum cleaners are robust and tested for endurance. If your motor is operating,
then the most likely cause for a loss in suction is a blockage or an opening somewhere in
the appliance.
For a vacuum cleaner to do its job correctly, it needs a working filter (in good condition) in
position to help capture dust particles. The optional dust bags help to increase the level
of filtration and dust collection. As filters and dust bags become blocked over time, you
should expect a drop in performance. This is normal and a good result, it shows that the
vacuum cleaner is effectively pulling up and trapping the dust. In short, it’s doing what it’s
supposed to.
To maintain a high cleaning performance from your machine, it is important to replace or
clean cartridge filters as necessary. This can be done with a soft paint brush, being careful
not to damage the cartridge filter. If you also use dust bags, you will need to replace these
when the bag is full or the performance drops.
A performance drop with clean filters can only be caused by a blockage in the tools or the
hose. Check all accessories for blockages, and ensure the joints between the vacuum and
the end of the nozzle are fitted correctly.
