Operation

WARNING

To avoid fire or explosion, do not operate this vac in areas with flammable gases or flammable vapors such as lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-base paints, gasoline, alcohol or explosive dust such as coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder in the air. 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 avoid health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials. To avoid electrical shock do not expose to rain. Store vac indoors. Unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter or emptying the dust drum.

CAUTION: To avoid 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 gog- gles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package) before commencing opera- tion. Safety Goggles are available at Sears 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, con- tact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1.The filter must be in correct position at all times to avoid leaks and possible damage to vac.

2.When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the drum and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak 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 dry the filter enough for dry pick up.
