DRY VACUUMING
WARNING:
BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY INFORMATION, ENTITLED ‘SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS’. DO NOT VACUUM IN AREAS WITH FLAMMABLE GASES, VAPORS,
OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR. FLAMMABLE GASES OR VAPORS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT
LIMITED TO; LIGHTER FLUID, SOLVENT TYPE CLEANERS, OIL-BASE PAINTS, GASOLINE,
ALCOHOL OR AEROSOL SPRAYS. EXPLOSIVE DUSTS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO;
COAL, MAGNESIUM, GRAIN OR GUN POWDER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS
FROM VAPORS OR DUST, DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC MATERIALS.
CAUTION:
• Do not vacuum drywall dust or fireplace soot or ash with standard Wet/Dry filter. This is a very fine dust
which will not be captured by the filter and may cause damage to motor. When vacuuming fine dust use a
fine dust filter (sold separately).
WARNING
: DO NOT PLUG IN POWER CORD TO POWER OUTLET. MAKE SURE PLUG IS
DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING AND CLEANING FILTERS.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig.1)
2. In order to prepare your vacuum for dry vacuuming, verify that the cartridge filter is securely mounted.
With power head removed and in upside down position, make sure the filter is pushed in until it stops
against the power head and the retainer is installed. (fig.2 & 3) (Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the
cartridge filter pre-installed, if not, see page 11 for installation instructions.)
3. Recommend to use dust bag for dust-free emptying, fit collection bag flange onto the inlet stub, taking
care not to damage the bag. (fig.4), This has the added advantage that the cartridge filter does not
become dirty so quickly.
4. Place the power head back on the container, and secure it in place using the latches. (fig.5)
