2. To maintain peak performance of your vac when picking up small debris such as
sawdust, it may be helpful to empty the dust drum and clean or replace the filter
at more frequent intervals.
NOTE: The filter should be dry to pick up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up
dry debris when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to
clean. In case the filter gets wet, replace it before continuing dry pickup.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. Removal of the filter is highly recommended for wet pickups.
2. This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float mechanism which will rise automati-
cally to cut off the airflow when the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined
level. When this happens, turn off vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the
dust drum. You will know that the float has shut the airflow off because the suc-
tion 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. Be sure to replace filter after wet pickup. Never pick up dry debris without the
filter properly installed.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the vac, do not run motor with float in
raised position.
FILTER TYPE: 55
WARNING:

latches located on each side of the vac. Lift off the motor housing assembly.

Ne pas retirer le boîtier ni le flotteur. Le flotteur empêche
le liquide de pénétrer dans la turbine et d’endommager le moteur. Le boîtier
empêche les doigts de l’utilisateur d’entrer en contact avec la turbine.
