1. Connect vacuum hose to tool.
2. With the power switch in the “O” (Off) position,
plug power cord of the tool (also turned off) into
the electrical outlet on the vacuum cleaner’s
motor head.
3. Set the AUTO/OFF/ON switch to AUTO. A very
brief running operation of the vacuum will occur.
This is normal. Now the vacuum will operate “On
Demand”.
4. Turn tool on and the vacuum cleaner will start
automatically a few seconds later. Turn tool off
and vacuum will stop automatically a few sec-
onds later.
Utility Outlet Load - vs - Vacuum Performance
The unique design of the “On Demand” feature of
this unit will cause the vacuum performance to vary
with the amount of current drawn from the utility
outlet. The electronic circuit automatically adjusts
the power of the vacuum unit to compensate for
the power being drawn from the utility outlet. This
adjustment allows the total system current draw to
stay within the safety regulatory agencies maximum
of 12 Amps. What ever the amount of current is
being drawn for utility work, the remainder from 12
Amps is allowed to the vacuum unit to provide the
maximum allowable vacuum performance during
the work. As soon as the utility work stops, the
vacuum returns to full power during the delay period
before turning off.
WARNING
To reduce the
risk of injury, always unplug the tool before
attaching or removing accessories. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the
general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE”
until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest
MILWAUKEE
service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spin-
dles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
WARNING
To reduce the
risk of injury, electric shock and damage to
the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or
allow a liquid to fl ow inside the tool.
WARNING
To reduce
the risk of injury, always unplug your tool
before performing any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool or try to do any rewir-
ing on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your
tool since certain cleaning agents and solvents
are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts.
Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Storage
Before storing the vacuum cleaner, always empty
and clean the tank. Never allow debris to sit in
the tank for any extended period of time.
The
vacuum cleaner should be stored indoors.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORIES
Using the vacuums (without the automatic
switch) as dust collection device for a tool
1. Connect vacuum hose to tool’s dust collection port.
2. Turn the vacuum cleaner on.
3. Turn on tool.
To use the vacuum cleaner as an automatic
dust collection device for a tool (with Cat. No.
8936-20 only)
WARNING
To reduce the
risk of fi re, electric shock or injury: Do not
plug any tool or appliance rated over 8 amps
into the outlet on the vacuum cleaner. Check
nameplate of the tool for the amp rating. To
reduce the risk of injury, tool must be turned
off before placing switch in the auto position.
