Operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not operate this vac in areas with flam- mable gases, vapors or explosive dust in the air. Flammable gases or vapors include but are not limited to; lighter fluid, solvent type cleaners,
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. 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 goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before starting operation. Safety Goggles are avail- able at many local retail stores.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
After you plug the power cord into the outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the switch actuator are international "On & Off" symbols. "O" is the symbol for "OFF" and "l" is the symbol for "ON".
NOTE: When using the unit in the vacu- uming mode, always insert the air diffuser in the exhaust port on the detachable blower. This breaks up the direct flow of air and diffuses it.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1.The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to the vac.
2.When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the vac canister and clean 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.
3.If your filter is wet but you need to use the vac to pick up dry material, you can quickly dry the filter by running the vac without hose attached for about 10 minutes. The clean air rushing through the vac will help dry the filter.

1.When picking up small amounts of liq- uid the filter may be left in place.
2.When picking up large amounts of liq- uid we recommend that the filter be removed. If the filter is not removed, it will become saturated and misting may appear in the exhaust.
