INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Earlex CombiPOWERVac ® . This product is an all-in-one, wet and dry, workshop
vacuum system. With no messy bags to handle or dispose, the CombiPOWERVac ® is designed for everyday use
around the garden, garage, workshop, home, car & caravan. It has an on board power tool socket for use with power
tools to remove dust directly from the work area.
It has four modes:
Dry Mode - picks up all kinds of dry materials such as dust, nails, broken glass, leaves, litter and wood shavings.
Wet Mode - picks up various types of liquid spills and can help unblock sinks.
Blow Mode - collects leaves into piles and dusts out garages/workshops.
Dust Extraction - activate vacuum using power tool, and 10 second run-on when power tool is switched off.
Removes dust directly from work area.
Due to the heavy duty nature of a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, the motor may sound louder than your normal
cleaner. The reason for this is that in order for the unit 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 and causing damage.
Before leaving the factory, each unit has passed high safety, quality and performance checks. Should you have
any queries on this unit, please call our helpline on 01483 454666.
