OPERATION

The Porter-Cable Power Tool-Triggered Wet/Dry Vac is designed for use as a general purpose shop vacuum, or for use connected to various power tools. With the dust bag removed, it can be used to pick up water and other wet materials.

A power outlet is provided that allows a power tool to be connected to the Vacuum Cleaner. The Vacuum Cleaner will automatically switch “ON” when the power tool is started, and it will automatically switch “OFF” approximately 6 to 10 seconds after the power tool is turned “OFF”.

POWER SWITCH

The power switch (A) Fig. 5 on both the 7812 and 7814 models is used for the Vacuum Cleaner as a stand alone unit. When not using a power tool, depress power switch (A) Fig. 5 to begin vacuuming.

These vacuums can be used to provide a dust-free environment when attached to a power tool. An accessory outlet is located under a hinged cover (B) Fig. 5 on the front of the vacuum cleaner. Lift this cover to expose the outlet.

Connect the power cord of the power tool to outlet (B) Fig. 5, then depress power switch (A) Fig. 5 on the vacuum cleaner. A green light, located next to the outlet, will glow. This light indicates that the vacuum will start automatically when the power tool is activated.

When the power tool is turned off, the vacuum motor will continue to run for 6 to 10 seconds to finish collecting the dust, and then it will stop.
