OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: This equipment incorporates
parts such as switches, motors or the like that
tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause
an explosion. Do not pick up flammable, com-
bustible, or hot materials.
Do not use around explosive liquids or vapors,
as electrical devices produce arcs or sparks
which can cause a fire or explosion - do not
use at filling stations or anywhere gasoline is
stored or dispensed.
WARNING: Always wear eye protection to
prevent rocks or debris from being blown or
ricocheting into the eyes or face which can re-
sult in serious injury.
WARNING: Always disconnect the plug
from the wall outlet before removing the tank
cover.
CAUTION:
KEEP FILTERS CLEAN
The efficiency of these vacuum cleaners is
largely dependent on the filter.
A clogged filter can cause overheating and
possibly damage the vacuum cleaner.
Clean or replace filters regularly. Do not use
the vacuum or filters for collecting hazardous
or other health endangering materials.
NOTE: Never machine wash or dry filters.
DRY PICKUP
Better quality filtration is required for finer
dry materials. Collection filter bags are recom-
mended for very fine materials such as dry wall
dust.
NOTE: When using the vacuum to pick-up very
fine dust such as sawdust or dry wall dust, it
will be necessary to empty the tank and clean
the filter at more frequent intervals to main-
tain maximum pick-up power or upgrade to
collection filter bags.
WET PICKUP
Remove the dry filters plus all dirt and debris
found in the tank assembly. Wet pick-up re-
quires only the foam sleeve or cartridge filter
to be in place. Do not use dry filters for wet
pick-up. When picking up several tanks full
of liquid, the filter will become saturated and
misting may appear in the exhaust air. At this
time, you should dry the filter or change to
a dry filter to eliminate the misting and pos-
sible dripping of liquid around the lid. After
completing a wet pick-up job, raise the hose
to drain into tank before shutting off the vac.
The interior of the tank should be periodically
rinsed clean.
NOTE: Wet pick-up accessories should be
washed periodically with soap and water, es-
pecially after picking up wet, sticky liquids.
