SAFETY 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

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 is a very fine dust

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

fine dust filter. This vacuum comes with a fine dust filter included.

WARNING: SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUMM

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

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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK-UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING OR

GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a 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 VACUUM

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.

3. Place filter retainer on top of cartridge filter and tighten down by turning the retainer handle clockwise.

(fig. 3)

DRY-VACUUM OPERATION

LIQUID 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.

WARNING: DO NOT PLUG IN POWER CORD TO POWER OUTLET, MAKE SURE PLUG IS

DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VAC

1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. Verify that the container is clean and free of

dust and dirt. (fig. 1)

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

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

6. After use, empty the container by unscrewing the drain cap. Drain liquids into a suitable receptacle or

drain. Remember to refit the drain cap to the container after draining container. (fig. 6)

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 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 container with the drain cap. After

wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the container, clean and

dry the inside and outside before storage.

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

installed before dry vacuuming again.

WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES COMPLYING WITH ANSI Z87.1 (OR IN CANADA,

CSAZ94.3) BEFORE USING BLOWER.

WARNING: KEEP BYSTANDERS CLEAR FOR BLOWING DEBRIS.

WARNING: WEAR A DUST MASK IF BLOWING CREATES DUST THAT MIGHT BE INHALED.

1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig. 1)

2. Make sure the container is empty before using as a blower.

3. Remove hose from the vacuum port.

4. Remove noise diffuser from blower port. (fig. 2)

motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare filters on-hand.

MAINTENANCE

BLOWING OPERATION

NOTICE! The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The

cartridge filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry cartridge filter is necessary to pick up dust. If the

cartridge filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when

removing it for cleaning and replacing it. Check the filters for tears or small holes, a small hole can let dust

pass through and out of the cleaner. Do not use a filter with holes or tears, replace it immediately.

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING

THE POWER HEAD FROM CONTAINER.

Installing Cartridge Filter

1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig. 1)

2. Remove power head and place in upside down position.

3. Install the cartridge filter over the filter cage with the flat end of the filter towards the vacuum power head.

Carefully push filter in until it stops against the power head. (ﬁg. 2 & 3)

4. Place filter retainer on top of cartridge filter over the raise lip and tighten down by turning retainer

Clockwise, do not over tighten. (fig. 4 & 5)

Removing and Cleaning Cartridge Filter

1. Unlock and remove the filter retainer by tuning retainer handle counter clockwise.

2. Carefully hold and pull the cartridge filter up for removal. (ﬁg. 6)

3. Clean the cartridge filter by gently tapping or brushing dirt off. Cleaning should not be done indoors in

living areas. For optimal performance a new filter is recommended.

4. Install cleaned or new filter into place as instructed above in steps 2 and 3 of Installing Cartridge Filter.

5. Wet filters should be removed and allowed to air dry for 24 hours before installing onto the filter cage.
