FOR e
Grounding Instructions
_ This appliance must be ground-
ed. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-ground-
ing conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordi-
nances. .
DANGER—Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified elec-
trician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the receptacle
is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appli-
ance—f it will not fit the outlet, have
- a proper outlet by a qualified electri-
cian.
This appliance is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A. A tem- |
porary adapter that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketches B and C
may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
sketch B if a properly grounded out-
let is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (sketch A)
can be installed by a qualified elec-
trician. The green colored rigid ear
or lug extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly ground-

place by a metal screw.
Lubrication
No lubrication is necessary as
the motor is equipped with lifetime
lubricated bearings.
Storage
Before storing your cleaner, the
tank should be emptied and
cleaned. The power cord can be
wound around the housing of the ©
unit for convenience. Accessories
may be stored in the tank while
those that can't be stored in the
tank should be kept in the same
area as the cleaner so they can be
readily available. The cleaner
should be stored indoors.
Extension Cords
Tools that have 3-wire cords
requiring grounding must only be
used with extension cords that have
3-prong grounding type plugs and
3-pole receptacles. Make sure
which construction your tool is
before choosing an extension cord.
Only round jacketed extension
cords should be used, and we rec-
ommend that they be listed by
Underwiriters Laboratories (U.L.)
(C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension
will be used outside, the cord must
be suitable for outdoor use. Any ©
cord marked as outdoor can also be
used for indoor work. The letters
“WA” on the cord jacket indicate the
cord is suitable for outdoor use.
An extension cord must have
adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety,
and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16
gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total
length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the mini-
mum wire size.
To determine the minimum wire
size required, refer to the chart
_ above.
Before using an extension cord,
inspect it for loose or exposed
wires, damaged insulation, and |
defective fittings. Make any needed
repairs or replace the cord if neces-
sary. Black & Decker has extension
cords available that are U.L. (C.S.A.
in Canada) listed for outdoor use.
Motor
Your Black and Decker tool is
powered by a universal motor. Be
sure your power supply agrees with
voltage marked on nameplate. Volts
50/60 Hz means Alternating Current
only. Volts DC-60 Hz or AC/DC
means it will operate on Alternating
Current or Direct Current. Voltage
- decrease of more than 10% will
cause loss of power and over-heat-
ing.
The Power Unit
The Motor is mounted above the
tank so that it is kept clear of dust,
debris and water that accumulate
on the bottom of the tank.
A Filter Assembly mounted over
the motor unit prevents fine dust
from clogging the fan and escaping
through the exhaust (Fig. 1).
Automatic shut-off for wet pick-up
is provided by a float type valve that
automatically shuts off suction when
liquid in tank reaches capacity level.
The Vac also serves as a blower
to blow out debris from behind radi-
ators or to clear outside walks from
grass clippings or leaves. This can
be done by simply inserting the
hose into the exhaust port (Fig. 2).
Set-up
1. Remove tank cover and take out
any accessories which may have
been shipped in the tank. Install
the disc filter (for dry pick-up
only, referring to Fig. 3).
2. Slip cleaner end of flexible hose
into the intake port on the tank.
3. Attach the desired attachments
to the hose. Be sure the cleaner
switch is in the off position. Plug
the cord into the wall outlet. Your
cleaner is ready for use.
FIG.3 - REUSABLE DRY DISC FILTER
Reusable Dry Filter is to be used when you utilize
your wet/dry vac for dry pick-up. This filter should
always be in position over the foam filter sleeve for
dry pick-up.
INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and
remove tank cover.
2, Ensure that the foam filter sleeve is cleaned and
dry and installed over the filter cage before installing
the reusable dry filter, |
3. Place tank cover in an upside down position and
center reusable dry filter over the filter cage.
4. Place mounting ring over reusable dry filter and
push down until ring is positioned against ribs of
tank cover. |
-5. Be sure the reusable dry filter completely covers
the foam filter sleeve. Also check to ensure that all
edges of the reusable dry filter are secure under the
mounting ring.
IMPORTANT
REMOVE THIS FILTER WHEN USING VAC FOR WET
PICK-UP. REPLACE MOUNTING RING OVER FOAM
FILTER SLEEVE. FOAM FILTER SLEEVE MUST BE
POSITIONED OVER FILTER CAGE FOR WET PICK-UP.
NOTE:
ON SOME OLDER SHOP-VAC MODELS YOU MAY
FIND THE MOUNTING RING DOES NOT HOLD THE
REUSABLE DRY FILTER SECURELY IN PLACE, IF
THIS OCCURS, THE ELASTIC MOUNTING BAND
CAN BE USED TO SECURE THE REUSABLE FILTER.
Efficiency of the vacuum is largely dependent on the
filters. A clogged filter can cause over-heating and
possible damage to the cleaner. To clean the
reusable dry filter, remove from filter cage and
shake off loose dirt and dust. A water rinse can also
be used depending on the condition of the filter.
Allow filter to dry before installing back on filter
cage. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY,
IN
WARNING
TO AVOID HEALTH HAZARDS FROM VAPORS OR
DUST, DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC, CARCINOGENIC
OR OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SUCH AS
ASBESTOS, ARSENIC, BARIUM, BERYLLIUM,
LEAD, PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES OR OTHER
HEALTH ENDANGERING MATERIALS.

Operation
Always disconnect the plug from
the wall receptacle before removing
the tank cover. Dry pick-up cleaning
situations involve the pick-up of fine
dust and debris, thus a reusable
disc filter has been provided to
ensure better filtration. This disc fil-
ter should always be in position
over the foam filter for dry pick-up.
Efficiency of the vacuum cleaner
is largely dependent on the filters.
A clogged filter can cause over-
heating and possibly damage the _
cleaner. Shake off loose dirt and
dust. A water rinse can also be
used depending on the condition of
the filter. DO NOT MACHINE
WASH OR DRY.
Wet Pick-Up
This cleaner requires only a mini-
mum of conversion when going
from dry to wet pick-up. Empty all
dry materials from the tank and
remove disc filter. The mounting
ring should then be placed over the
top of the foam filter next to the
cover. o
NOTE: Wet pick-up accessories
should be washed periodically
especially after picking up wet,
sticky kitchen accidents. This can
be accomplished with a warm solu-
tion of soap and water. After com-
pleting a wet pick-up, raise the hose
above the cleaner to permit any lig-
uid in the hose to drain into the tank
before shutting off. The interior of
the tank should be periodically
cleaned. It is coated with a specially
developed corrosion resistant coat-
ing to give long life.
Emptying Liquid —
Wastes from the Tank
Your Vac may be emptied of lig-
uid waste by removing the tank
cover. To empty, stop the motor and
remove the plug from the wall
receptacle. Remove the tank cover
and deposit the liquid waste con-
tents into a suitable drain.
After the tank is empty, return the
cover to its original position. To con-
tinue use, plug the cord into the wall
receptacle and start the motor.
