Operation (Continued)
7
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Vac
has a polarized plug. 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.
After you plug the power cord into the
outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the
switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the switch actuator
are international "On & Off" symbols:
= OFF
= ON
Familiarize yourself with the accessories
included with the vac. Each accessory
may be used in various ways for
vacuuming and blowing debris. Here is a
list of the accessories and their uses.
Utility Nozzle -
General purpose nozzle
for most vacuuming applications.
Extension Wands -
These wands can
be connected together and provide
additional length.
Hose -
Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides
the means of attaching extension wands
and nozzles.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position at all times to avoid leaks and
possible damage to vac.
2. When using your vac to pick up fine
dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain
peak vac performance.
NOTE:
A dry filter is necessary to pick up
dry material. If you use your vac to pick
up material when the filter is wet, the filter
will clog quickly and be very difficult to
clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use
the vac to pick up dry material, you
must first allow the filter to dry.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid (less than 1 inch in the bottom of
the drum) the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid (more than 1 inch in the bottom
of the drum) it is recommended that the
filter be removed. If the filter is not
removed, it may become saturated and
misting may appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. You will know that the float
has risen because suction stops and
the motor noise will become higher in
pitch, due to increased motor speed.
When this happens, turn off the vac,
unplug the power cord, and empty the
drum.
4. After using the vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to avoid
possible mildew and damage to the
filter.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vacuum, do not run
motor with float in raised position.
A Filter Bag or Cartridge Filter
should be used and positioned
correctly during all vacuuming
operations to avoid debris leaks
and possible damage to the vacuum
motor.
