The Hand Vac is designed to sit in the charging base on a flat surface or mounted vertically on a wall.
For mounting on the wall:
1 Mark two screw hole centres vertically 80mm apart. Checking that there is room to fit the Hand Vac
and charging base near a mains socket outlet.
IMPORTANT: When drilling, ensure that you are clear of any hidden cabling or pipework.

3 Push the plastic wall plugs (supplied) into the drilled holes.
4 Tighten the screws into the wall plugs, leaving 3mm between the screw head and the wall surface.
5 Slide the charging base onto the screws. Adjust the screw clearance as needed to ensure a tight fit.
NOTE: Keep the charger plugged into a mains socket at all times. It is normal for the charger to become
warm to the touch when charging. If the operating time gets shorter after repeated use, let the unit run
until its charge is exhausted, then recharge for 24 hours. Repeat this monthly for best results.
