Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vac. Make sure that
the filter is completely covering the filter
cage and that the retainer band is as
close to the lid as possible, located
above the rib tabs on the filter cage.
Make sure there are no gaps between
the filter and the lid. (See illustration).
It
is very important to assemble the
filter to the cage without allowing any
possible leaks or tears. Any leaks will
allow the picked up media to be
blown out of the blower port and
back
into
the
surrounding
environment.
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.
WARNING: Never leave Vac
running while unattended.

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 automatically
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 suction 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.
