STARTING/STOPPING THE WET/DRY VAC
See Figure 3, page 8.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not leave the
product running while unattended. Immediately stop
the unit if it shows signs of abnormal operation such as
loss of suction, liquid or debris in the exhaust, or any
abnormal motor noises.
 To start the wet/dry vac: press the ON/OFF switch to
the ON position.
 To stop the wet/dry vac: press the ON/OFF switch to
the OFF position.
INSTALLING/REMOVING ATTACHMENTS
See Figure 4, page 9.
Vacuuming can be performed with only the flexible hose or
the hose with vacuum attachments.
 Turn off the wet/dry vac.
 Insert the attachment onto the tapered end of the flexible
hose, making sure the attachment is firmly in place.
 To remove, hold the attachment and pull from hose.
DRY VACUUMING
See Figure 5, page 9.
Vacuum only items small enough to fit through the hose
or the attachment. When vacuuming, make sure that the
dry use filter stays in place. The performance of the wet/
dry vac will decrease with a full collection container. When
emptying the collection container, check to see if the dry
use filter needs replacing.
NOTE: The wet/dry vac is shipped ready for dry use
vacuuming. To equip the wet/dry vac for wet use, remove
the dry use filter.
CAUTION:
In low relative humidity conditions, vacuuming fine debris
with the wet/dry vac can cause a static charge resulting
in static shock. To reduce static shock while using, add
moisture to the air with a humidifier.
WET VACUUMING
See Figure 6, page 9.
When wet vacuuming, be aware that the wet/dry vac is
equipped with a water float inside the filter unit housing.
This water float is designed to shut off the suction when
the collection container reaches full wet capacity. When the
collection container is full, turn the wet/dry vac OFF and
empty the collection container as shown in Maintenance.
 Unlock the locking latches and remove the lid.
 Remove the dry use filter by rotating the filter
counterclockwise to unlock and pull the filter free of the
filter housing.
 Replace lid and lock securely.
WARNING:
When vacuuming liquid, make sure the canister vac does
not get submerged or doused in liquid, which could
cause shock, vacuum failure, or personal injury.
USING THE WET/DRY VAC AS A BLOWER
See Figure 7, page 9.
At all times, the wet/dry vac blows air through the blower
port as part of the exhaust system. However, you can use
the wet/dry vac as a blower by attaching the tapered end
of the flexible hose to the blower port.
 Turn off the wet/dry vac and remove the battery pack.
 Remove the hose from the tank.
 Remove any nozzles from the hose if attached.
 Push the tapered end of the flexible hose into the blower
port to use as a blower.
 To remove the flexible hose, pull the tapered end of the
flexible hose from the blower port.
To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges
of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of a pile.
Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. In
dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is
available.
Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose
of debris properly.
