Operation WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not operate this vac in areas with

flammable gases or flammable vapors such as lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-base

paints, gasoline, alcohol or explosive dust such as coal, magnesium, grain or

gun powder in the air. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flammable or combusti-

ble liquids or hot ashes. Do not use this vac as a sprayer. To reduce the risk of

health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials. To reduce

the risk of electrical shock do not expose to rain. Store vac indoors. Unplug

power cord before changing or cleaning filter or emptying the dust drum.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hear-

ing damage wear ear protectors

when using the vac or blower for

extended hours or when using it in a

noisy area. The operation of any util-

ity vac or blower can result in foreign

objects being blown into the eyes,

which can result in severe eye dam-

age. Always wear safety goggles

complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown

on Package) before commencing

operation. Safety Goggles are avail-

able at Sears retail stores.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). This plug will fit in

a polarized outlet only one way. Ifthe plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali-

fied electrician to install the proper outlet.

Do not change the plug in any way.

After you plug the power cord into the out-

let, turn the unit on by pushing the switch

from position "O" to position 'T'. The sym-

bols used on the motor cover are interna-

tional "On & Off" symbols. "O" is the

symbol for "OFF" and "l" is the symbol for

"ON".

O= OFF I=ON

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1.The filter must be in correct position at

all times to reduce the risk of leaks and

possible damageto vac.

2. When using your vac to pick up very

fine dust, it will be necessary for you to

empty the drum and clean the filter at

more frequent intervals to maintain

peak vac performance.

NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up

dry material. If you use your vac to pick up

dust when the filter is wet, the filter will

clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.

3. Ifyour filter is wet but you need to use

the vac to pick up dry material, you can

quickly dry the filter by running the vac

without hose attached for about 10 min-

utes. The clean air rushing through the

vac will help dry the filter.

The optional Craftsman Fine Particle Fil-

ter, stock number 9-17916 will do a bet-

ter job stopping the very fine particles

than the 9-17816 filter. This filter will stop

99.99% of all particles as small as .75

micron.

Vacuuming Liquids

1. When picking up small amounts of liq-

uid the filter may be left in place.

2. When picking up large amounts of liq-

uid we recommend that the filter be

removed. If the filter is not removed, it

will become saturated and misting may

appear in the exhaust.

3. After using the vac to pick up liquids,

the filter must be dried to reduce the

risk of possible mildew and damage to

the filter,

Emptying Dust Drum

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

injury from accidental starting,

unplug power cord before emptying

the drum.

1.To remove the power assembly to

empty contents of the dust drum, simply

lift the two drum latches at the front and

rear of the dust drum and lift the lid

assembly up and off the dust drum and

set to the side, NOTE: Lift the power

assembly by the latches.

2. Lay the power assembly upside down

on a clean dry area while emptying the

drum or changing the filter.

3, Dump the drum contents into the

proper waste disposal container.

4. If the contents are liquid, you may dis-

pose by using the drain provided in the

drum for easy emptying. Simply

unscrew the drain cap and allow the liq-

uid to drain completely out of the vac

drum.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

back injury or falls, do not lift a vac

heavy with liquid or debris, Scoop or

drain enough contents out to make

the vac light enough to lift comfort-

ably.

Blowing Feature

Your new Craftsman wet/dry vac features

"Switchable Blowing" using the "Pos-I-Lock"TM

hose feature.

"Switchable Blowing" allows you to use

your vac for either suction or blowing. Nor-

mal use of your wet/dry vac is to use the

vac for cleaning up dirt and debris. With

this new feature, your vae is quieter

because the blowing port is closed while

the unit is used for vacuuming. The blow-

ing air is exhausted through the exhaust

filter access door.

WARNING: Always wear safety gog-

gles complying with ANSI Z87.1

before using as a blower.

WARNING: To avoid injury to

bystanders, keep them clear of

blowing debris,

If you wish to convert from suction to

blowing.

Simply press the locking tab on the hose

and remove the hose from the inlet port.

Insert the hose in the blowing port on the

rear of the vac and your vac is ready to

use as a blower.

To obtain more air movement with this

blowing feature, purchase a 9-16933

"Blower Nozzle" and the force of air will

move the debris better.
