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 allow the picked up media to be
blown out of the blower port and
back into the surrounding
environment.
2. To maintain peak performance of your
vac when picking up small debris such
as sawdust, it may be helpful to empty
the dust drum and clean or replace the
filter at more frequent intervals.
NOTE: The filter should be dry to pick up
dry material. If you use your vac to pick
up dry debris 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 dry pickup.
WARNING: Never leave vac
running while unattended.

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.
3. Be sure to replace filter after wet pickup.
Never pick up dry debris without the filter
properly installed.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the vac, do not run motor with
float in raised position.
