Operation

WARNING

To reduce the risk of firs or explosion, do not operate this vac In areas with flammable gases or flammable vapors such as lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-base paints, gasoline, alcohol or explosive dust such as coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder in the air. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flammable or combustible liquids or hot ashes. Do not use this vac as a sprayer. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials. To reduce

the risk of electrical shock do not expose to rain. Store vac Indoors.

Unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter or emptying the dust drum.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hearing damage wear ear protectors when using the vac or blower for extended hours or when using it In a noisy area° The operation of any util-

ity vac or blower can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severs eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears retail stores.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has s polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). 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 out-

let, turn the unit on by pushing the switch from position "O" to position "1".The symbols used on the motor cover are international =On & Off" symbols. "O" is the symbol for =OFF" and =1"is the symbol for

"ON".

O = OFF I = ON

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1.The filter mustbe in correctpositionat

**all timesto reducethe riskof teaks and possibledamage to vac,**

2. When using your vac to pick up very

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 dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.

3. If your fitter is wet but you need to use the vac to pick up dry material, you can quickly dry the filter by running the vac without hose attached for about 10 minutes. The clean air rushing through the vac will help dry the filter.

The optional Craftsman Fine Particle Fitter, stock number 9-17916 will do a better job stopping the very fine particles than the 9-17816 filter. This filter will stop

99.99% of all particles as small as .75

micron.

Vacuuming Liquids

1. When picking up small amounts of liquid the filter may be left in place.

2. When picking up large amounts of liquid we recommend that the filter be removed.

If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust.

3. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to reduce the risk of possible mildew and damage to the filter.

8

4. When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mecha- nism will rise automatically to cut off air- flow. When this happens, turn off the vec, unp[ug the power cord, and empty

the drum. You will know that the float has risen because vac airflow ceases and the motor noise will become higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the vac do not run motor with float in raised position.

Emptying

Dust Drum

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before emptying the drum.

1. To remove the power assembly to

empty contents of the dust drum, simply

lift the two drum latches at the front and rear of the dust drum and lift the lid assembly up and off the dust drum and set to the side. NOTE: Lift the power assembly by the latches.

2. Lay the power assembly upside down

on a clean dry area while emptying the drum or changing the filter.

3. Dump the drum contents into the proper waste disposal container.

4. If the contents are liquid, you may dispose by using the drain provided in the drum for easy emptying. Simply unscrew the drain cap and allow the liquid to drain completely out of the vac drum.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift a vac heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or

] drain enough contents out to make

I the vac light enough to lift comfort- ably.

Cord Wrap

When vacuumingis complete,unplugthe

cordand wrap itaround the handleon the backof the powerassembly.

Hose Storage

Lock the "Pos-I-Lock "TMhose into the inlet of the vac and insert the opposite end of

the hose into the blowing port in the back

of the vac, or wrap the hose around the motor cover of the vac and clip the hose

lock to two ends of the hose.

Blowing Feature

Your new Craftsman wet/dry vac features

"SwitchableBlowing"usingthe =Pos-I-Lock"TM hose feature.

"Switchable Blowing" allows you to use

your vac for either suction or blowing. Nor-

mal use of your wet/dry van is to use the

vac for cleaning up dirt and debris. With

this new feature, your vac is quieter

because the blowing port is closed while the unit is used for vacuuming. The blowing air is exhausted through the exhaust filter access door.

Simply press the locking tab on the hose and remove the hose from the inlet port.

Insert the hose in the blowing port on the rear of the vac and your vac is ready to use as a blower.

To obtain more air movement with this blowing feature, purchase a 9-16933

Cleaning Vac Filter

Your filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak vac performance.

Re sure to dry the filter before storing or

picking up dry debris.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of your vac. Replace it immediately.

NOTE: This filter is made of high quality paper designed to atop very small particles of dust. The tilter can be used for wet or dry pick up. Handle the filter carefully when removing to clean or installing it.

Creases in the filter pleats may occur from installation but creases will not affect the performance of the filter.

Wet Filter

After filter is removed, run water through

the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care

that water pressure from the hose is not

strong enough to damage filter. Remem-

ber: To dry a filter quickly, reinstall the fil-

ter on the vac and allow the unit to run for approximately 10 minutes. The clean air

rushing through the filter will dry it.

Installation

Refer to =Filter Assembly".

Allow the filter to dry before reinstalling and storing the vac.

Cleaning

Exhaust Pad

To clean the exhaust pad located behind the exhaust access door, press the two

tabs on the access door and remove the access door.

2. Dry the foam pad before placing it back into the vac, IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the blower wheel and motor, always reinstall the filter before using the

vac for dry material pickup.

3. Replace the foam pad to the original location.

4, Replace the exhaust access door.

CAUTION: Do not remove the filter cage or float. It is there to shut off airf ow when the drum s fu of qu ds.

Connect a second extension wand to the first, and connect the 2-1/2" x 7' hose to the extension wand.

Liquids may be picked up by dragging the nozzle across the surface. The squeegee will dry the surface as you vacuum.

Replacement rubber for the squeegee nozzle may be obtained through Sears

Parts. If the rubber becomes worn, it may be flipped over for use on the opposite side or replaced. (Replacement service part #822256). To reverse or replace the squeegee:

1. Lay the wet nozzle on a flat surface with the round inlet opening facing up and the two latches close to you as shown.
