Porter-Cable 7814 instruction manual Set container upright, on its wheels

5.Set container upright, on its wheels.

NOTE: If the Vacuum Cleaner is to be used to pick-up liquid or wet material, skip step 6.

6.Install the paper filter bag. Please note that the mounting hole is offset in the bag. The hole is closest to the top side of the bag. Position the bag (into the container), with its top side up, and seat mounting hole onto the container’s intake port. NOTE: Press only on the bag’s protective card. Be careful to not tear the bag.

7.Place the motor unit onto the container and secure it by closing the two container Locks.

8.Attach the vacuum hose to the machine (Fig. 3). The Hose is equipped with a bayonet style connector. Align the projection on the side of the Hose connector with the slot in the Container intake port. Slide connector into intake port and rotate one-quarter turn clockwise to lock.

NOTE: Models 7812 and 7814 Vacuum Cleaners are equipped with a Static Dissipating System that can help dissipate static electrical charges (sometimes experienced when recovering very dry, powdered materials), when used with a Static Dissipating type vacuum hose. The hose that comes with your unit is NOT a static dissipating hose. To install a Static Dissipating type hose will require removal of the bayonet connector from the standard hose, and installation (of the bayonet connector), onto the Static Dissipating hose, as follows:

A.Depress locking tab (A) Fig. 4A and pull collar (B) out of the bayonet connector slightly.

B.Rotate the assembly 180° and depress the second locking tab, allowing the bayonet connector to be separated from the hose assembly.

C.Grasp hose in one hand and mounting hub (C) Fig. 4B in the other. Rotate the mounting hub clockwise (left-hand thread) to remove it from the hose.

D.Slide the collar (B) off the standard hose and position it onto the Static Dissipating hose.

E.Thread the mounting hub (C) onto the Static Dissipating hose (by turning it counterclockwise).

F.Place the bayonet connector onto the mounting hub and position the collar (B), so that its locking tabs align with the holes in the bayonet connector.

G.Press the collar into the bayonet connector until the two locking tabs engage the holes in the bayonet connector.

9.Attach the Vacuum Hose to the appropriate accessory nozzle, or to the dust port of a power tool.
