SAFET

INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS

This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use only

identical replacements parts. Read the instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry Vacs before

servicing. Use this Wet/Dry Vac as described in this manual.

Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of your Wet/Dry Vac.

DOUBLE INSULATED - GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED - WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY

IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK-DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN. STORE

INDOORS.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATOR’S MANUAL. DO NOT

RUN UNATTENDED. DO NOT PICK UP HOT ASHES, COALS, TOXIC, FLAMMABLE OR OTHER

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, DO NOT USE AROUND EXPLOSIVE LIQUIDS OR VAPORS.

CAUTION:

• Do not vacuum drywall dust or fireplace soot or ash with standard Wet/Dry filter. This type of dust is very

fine which may not be captured by the filter and cause damage to motor. When vacuuming fine dust use

a fine dust filter (sold separately).

WARNING:SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM

WITH A DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM, TWO SYSTEMS OF INSULATION ARE PROVIDED

INSTEAD OF GROUNDING. NO GROUNDING MEANS IS PROVIDED ON A DOUBLE-INSULATED

APPLIANCE, NOR SHOULD A MEANS FOR GROUNDING BE ADDED. SERVICING A DOUBLE

INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM REQUIRES EXTREME CARE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE SYSTEM,

AND SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR

A DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM MUST BE IDENTICAL TO THE PARTS THEY REPLACE.

YOUR DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VAC IS MARKED WITH THE WORDS ‘DOUBLE INSULATED’

AND THE SYMBOL (SQUARE WITHIN A SQUARE) MAY ALSO BE MARKED ON THE

APPLIANCE.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock-unplug before cleaning or servicing.

• DO NOT use without filters in place.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS- UNPLUG BEFORE

SERVICING.

When using an extension cord with your Wet/Dry Vac refer to the following table to determine the required

A.W.G. wire size. Before using the cleaner make sure the power cord and extension cord are in good

working conditions. Make repairs or replacements before using the vacuum cleaner. Only use extension

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a double polarized plug (one with the blade wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power

cord and grounded power supply system.

DRY VACUUMING

WARNING: BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY INFORMATION, ENTITLED ‘SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS’. DO NOT VACUUM IN AREAS WITH FLAMMABLE GASES, VAPORS,

OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR. FLAMMABLE GASES OR VAPORS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT

LIMITED TO; LIGHTER FLUID, SOLVENT TYPE CLEANERS, OIL-BASE PAINTS, GASOLINE,

ALCOHOL OR AEROSOL SPRAYS. EXPLOSIVE DUSTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO;

COAL, MAGNESIUM, GRAIN OR GUN POWDER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS

FROM VAPORS OR DUST, DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC MATERIALS.

OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR. FLAMMABLE GASES OR VAPORS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT

LIMITED TO; LIGHTER FLUID, SOLVENT TYPE CLEANERS, OIL-BASE PAINTS, GASOLINE,

ALCOHOL OR AEROSOL SPRAYS. EXPLOSIVE DUSTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO;

COAL, MAGNESIUM, GRAIN OR GUN POWDER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS

4. Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the outlet. (fig. 6)

5. Turn the motor on by flipping the switch to the ‘I’ ON position. (fig.7)

6. After use, empty the collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.

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 collection tank reaches its maximum capacity. You will notice an

increase in motor speed. When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect from power supply, and

drain the liquid into a suitable receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refit the power head to the

collection tank. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the

collection tank, clean and dry the inside and outside before storage.

REMEMBER! The foam filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a reusable cloth filter must be

installed before dry vacuuming again.

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE! The filter included is made of high quality material designed to stop small dust particles. The filter

should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the dust filter is wet, it will
