Automatic Suction Shut-Off
When picking up liquids, an internal float rises until it
seats itself against a seal at the intake of the motor,
shutting off suction. When this happens, the motor
will develop a higher than normal pitch noise and the
suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn off
the vacuum immediately.
CAUTION: Failure to turn off unit after float rises
and shuts off suction will result in extensive damage
to the motor.
To continue use, empty the liquid waste from the tank.
NOTE: If the vacuum is accidentally tipped over, it
could lose suction. Turn off the vacuum and return
it to an upright position. The float will return to its
normal position.
Fine Dust Collection
For increased filter life and ease of cleanup, use
a fleece dust bag to collect fine dust particles
(Single pack, Cat. No. 49-90-2016).
To install the fleece dust bag, slide the cardboard
bag inlet into the dust bag holder.
Storage
Before storing your vacuum, empty and clean the
tank, filter, and accessories. Remove the battery
pack.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug
the charger and remove the battery pack from
the charger or tool before performing any main-
tenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery
pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
personal injury and
damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside
them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Cleaning the Filter
To clean the filter, tap clean, or rinse in water.
NOTE: If cleaning with water, let filter dry 24 hours
before using with vacuum. Replace filter if damaged
or suction decreases.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorized service center.
