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. 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 allowBand the picked up media to be blown out

of the blower port and back into the

surrounding environment.

2.When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the dust drum 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 your vac to pick up dust 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 to do dry pickups.

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.

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