IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This Wet/Dry Vac is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory,

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible

for their safety.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is

necessary when used by or near children.

• Do not use with a torn filter or without the filter

installed except when vacuuming liquids as described

in this manual. Dry debris ingested by the impeller may

damage the motor or be exhausted into the air.

• Turn off Vac before unplugging.

• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting,

unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the

plug, not the cord.

• Do not use with damaged cord, plug, or other parts.

If your Vac is not working as it should, has missing parts,

(Mexico 001-881-331-4569).

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a

door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.

Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac with wet hands.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only extension

cords that are rated for outdoor use and have a grounding

conductor. Extension cords in poor condition or too small

in wire size can pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce

the risk of these hazards, be sure the cord is in good

condition and that liquid does not contact the

connection. Do not use an extension cord with

conductors smaller than 1,3 mm

2

(16 AWG) in size.

• Connect only to a properly grounded outlet.

See grounding instructions.

• Do not put any object into ventilation openings. Do not

vacuum with any ventilation openings blocked; keep

OPERATION

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:

• Do not leave Vac running while unattended - you

may fail to notice important signs indicating

abnormal operation such as loss of suction,

debris/liquid exiting the exhaust, or abnormal

motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if you

notice these signs.

• Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in use.

• Do not continue running when float has cut off

suction.

• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne

flammables. Do not operate Vac near

flammable liquids or in areas with flam-

mable gases, vapors, or explosive/

airborne dust. Flammable liquids,

gases, and vapors include: lighter fluid,

solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints,

gasoline, alcohol, and aerosol sprays. Explosive

dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminum,

grain, and gun powder.

• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable

liquids, or hot ashes.

• Do not leave sawdust or rags with stain or

polyurethane residue inside Vac. Empty bucket

after picking up these potentially self-heating

materials.

• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter

motor compartment. Store indoors.

• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet

hands.

• Unplug Vac before servicing. If your Vac is

not working as it should, has missing parts,

Vacuuming Liquids (Fig. M)

WARNING:

Do not remove the cage and float. The float prevents

liquid from entering the impeller and damaging the

motor. The cage prevents fingers from touching the

moving impeller.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not vacuum

flammable or combustible liquids, gases or dust.

Vacuuming Dry Materials (Fig. L)

1. The Filter Bag must always be in correct position to

reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to Vac.

Make sure that the Filter Bag is completely covering

the Filter Cage and that the Retainer Band is as close to

the Powerhead Assembly as possible. Make sure there

are no gaps between the Filter Bag and the Powerhead

Assembly.

NOTE: It is very important to assemble the Filter Bag to

the cage without allowing any possible leaks or tears.

Any leaks will allow the picked up media to be blown

out of the Blower Port and back into the surrounding

environment.

2. When using your Vac to pick up very fine dust,

it will be necessary for you to empty the Bucket and

clean or replace the Filter Bag at more frequent

intervals to maintain peak Vac performance.

See “Replacing the Filter” in the Maintenance section

for complete details.

NOTE: A dry Filter Bag is necessary to pick up dry material.

If you use your Vac to pick up dust when the Filter Bag is

wet, the Filter Bag will clog quickly and be very difficult

to clean. In case the Filter Bag gets wet, replace it before

continuing to do dry pickups.

1. Removal of the Filter Bag is highly recommended for

wet pickups.

2. This Wet/Dry Vac is equipped with a Float Mechanism

which will rise automatically to cut off the airflow when

the liquid in the Bucket reaches a predetermined

level. When this happens, turn OFF Vac, unplug the

Power Cord, and empty the Bucket. You will know that

the Float has shut the airflow off because the suction

ceases and the motor noise becomes higher in pitch,

due to increased motor speed. The liquid capacity may

vary with the rate of pickup.

3. If a Filter Bag was used for wet pickup, be sure to

replace Filter Bag after wet pickup. Never pick up dry

debris without the Filter Bag properly installed.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac

do not run Motor with Float in raised position.
