MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn unit off before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
Your
D
e
WALT
power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
Filter Replacement
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord before
changing or cleaning filter. Your filter should be
cleaned often to maintain peak vac performance.
Important
: To avoid damage to the blower wheel and
motor, always reinstall the Clean Connect
TM
filter before
using the vac for dry pickups and wet pickups.
Important
: After cleaning, check the filter for tears or small
holes. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it. Even a
small hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of your vac.
Replace it immediately.
Note:
Before installing the filter on the vac, clean the area
of the lid so that the filter will seal against the lid and stop
small particles from bypassing the filter bag. If the filter is
clean and not damaged, replace it on the filter cage. If it
cannot be reused,place a new filter over the filter cage.
Note:
Clean the filter in an open area. Cleaning should be
done outdoors and not in living quarters.
WARNING:
Do not remove filter cage and float. The
float prevents water from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. The cage prevents fingers from
touching the moving impeller.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
WARNING:
Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the
risk of eye injury, always wear approved eye protection
when performing this.
WARNING:
Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
To keep your wet/dry vac looking its best, clean the outside
with a cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap.
To clean the tank:
1. Dump out debris.
2. Wash tank thoroughly with warm water and mild soap
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
