instructions for servicing double insulated appliances.

WARNING :
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VAC
In a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
Wet/Dry Vac must be identical to the parts they replace. The double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac is marked with the words "DOUBLE INSULATED" and the symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, unplug power cord before servicing the electrical parts of the Wet/Dry Vac.
IMPORTANT!
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
IMPORTANT!
Remove the plug from the socket before performing maintenance. Before using the machine make sure that the frequency and voltage shown on the rating plate correspond with the mains voltage.
Specifications and details are subject to change without prior notice. The accessories shown in the pictures may vary from model to model.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not operate this vac in areas with flammable gases, vapors or explosive dust in the air. Flammable gases or vapors include but are not limited to: lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol or aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include but are not limited to: coal, magnesium, aluminum, and grain or gun powder. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flammable or combustible liquids or hot ashes. Do not use this vac as a sprayer for any flammable or combustible liquid. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials.
WARNING:
The operation of any utility vac can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1 in USA or
CSA Z94.3 in Canada before starting operation.
CAUTION:
To reduce risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using the vac for extended hours or when using it in a noisy area.
This vac is assembled at the factory and ready for use when you remove it from the carton. The unit is ready for dry vacuuming or blowing. After you plug the power cord into the wall receptacle, turn the unit “ON” by pushing the switch from position “O” to position “I”. The “O” is the “OFF” position and the “I” is the “ON” position.
O = OFF I = ON

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRY PICK-UP
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. 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 debris to
be blown out of the blowing port and back into the surrounding environment.
2. When using the vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary to empty the dust tank and
clean or replace 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 the vac to pick up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean. If the filter gets wet, replace it before continuing to do dry pickups.
INSTALLING DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG
1. Slide the cardboard collar opening firmly onto the vacuum port deflector until it stops against the
deflector wall.
2. Position the bag so that it is distributed around the inside of the tank.
3. Replace and secure the power head onto the tank.
Disposable filter bag
WET PICK-UP
1. Remove reusable filter and replace it with foam filter when you do 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 tank reaches a predetermined level. When this happens, turn off vac,
unplug the power cord, and empty the dust tank. 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.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the vac, do not run motor with float in raised position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
EMPTY THE TANK
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before emptying the dust tank.
1. Remove the power head assembly of the wet/dry vac by pulling outward on the lid clips located
on each side of the vac. Lift off the power head assembly. Dump the tank contents into the proper
waste disposal container.
BLOWING OPERATION
WARNING: Always wear safety eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1 in USA or CSA Z94.3 in
Canada when using as a blower.
WARNING: To avoid injury to bystanders, keep them clear of blowing debris.
CAUTION: Wear a dust mask if blowing creates dust which might be inhaled.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using the vac/blower for extended hours or when using it in a noisy area.
The vac contains a blowing feature. It has the capability to blow sawdust and other debris. It can be used to blow dust and debris out of garages or off patios and driveways. Follow the steps below to use the vac as a blower.
1. Locate blowing port on the vac.
2. Insert one end of the hose into the blowing port.
3. Turn vac “ON”.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FILTER REPLACEMENT
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter.
The filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak vac performance.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the blower wheel and motor, always reinstall the reusable filter before using the vac for dry pickups and always reinstall the foam filter before using the vac for wet pickups.
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 the vac. Replace it immediately.
NOTE: Before installing the filter on the vac, clean the area of the lid so that the clamp ring will seal the bag against the lid and stop small particles from bypassing the filter bag.
If the filter is clean and not damaged, replace it on the filter cage. If it cannot be reused, place a new filter over the filter cage.
NOTE:
Clean the filter in an open area. Cleaning should be done outdoors and not in living quarters.
WARNING: Do not remove filter cage and float. The float prevents water from entering the impeller and damaging the motor. The cage prevents fingers from touching the moving impeller.
CLEANING
To keep the wet/dry vac looking its best, clean the outside with a cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap.
To clean the tank:
1. Dump out debris.
2. Wash tank thoroughly with warm water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
STORAGE
Before storing the vac, the dust tank should be emptied and cleaned. The cord should be wrapped and hung on the unit and the accessories should be kept in the accessory holder so they can be readily available. The vac should be stored indoors.
TROUBLESHOOTING
