Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The Filter Bag must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vac. Make sure that
the Filter Bag is completely covering
the Filter Cage and that the Retainer
Band is as close to the Powerhead
Assembly as possible, located above
the Rib Tabs on the Filter Cage. Make
sure there are no gaps between the Filter
Bag and the Powerhead Assembly. (See
illustration).
It is very important to assemble
the Filter Bag to the Cage without
allowing any possible leaks or tears.
Any leaks will allow the picked up
media to be blown out of the Blowing
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 Drum and clean or replace the Filter
at more frequent intervals.
NOTE: The Filter Bag should be dry to
pick up dry material. If you use your Vac
to pick up dry debris when the Filter Bag
is wet, the Filter Bag will clog quickly and
be very difficult to clean. In case the Filter
Bag gets wet, replace it before continuing
dry pickup.

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 Drum.
You will know that the Float has shut the
airflow OFF because the suction ceases
and the Motor noise becomes higher in
