user and the appliance's electrical system.
Products built with this insulation system
are not intended to be grounded. As a
result, this appliance is equipped with a
two-prong plug which permits it to be
used without concern for maintaining a
ground connection.
NOTICE:
Double insulation does not take the place
of normal safety precautions when
operating this appliance. The secondary
insulation system is for protection against
injury resulting from a possible failure of
the primary insulation within the product.
CAUTION
!
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace
damaged cords.
POLARIZED PLUGS
Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than
the other) are used on equipment to
reduce the risk of electric shock. When
provided, this plug will fit in the polarized
outlet only one way.
WARNING
!
Do not alter the plug in any way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet.
WARNING
!
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
Remove the plug from the socket before
performing maintenance. Before using the
machine make sure that the frequency
and voltage shown on the rating plate
correspond with the mains voltage.
Specifications and details are subject to

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not
operate this vac in areas with flammable
gases, vapors or explosive dust in the air.
Flammable gases or vapors include but are
not limited to: lighter fluid, solvent-type
cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol
or aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include but
are not limited to: coal, magnesium,
aluminum, and grain or gun powder. 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 reduce the risk of
health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not
vacuum toxic materials.
WARNING
!
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 eyewear complying with
ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before
starting operation.
1) Pull lid latches in an outward motion, remove
power head and some accessories that may
have been shipped in the tank.
2) Attach casters following the instructions as
below :
a. Invert dust tank, take the caster to align the
tank bottom sinking place. Secure with
screws provided.
b. Return dust tank assembly upright.
3) Installing handle following the instructions
as below:
a. Place handle
1
in recess.
b. Insert and tighten the provided screws
4) Attach disposable filter bag by following the
instructions below :
a. Slide the cardboard collar opening firmly
onto the vacuum port deflector until it
stops against the deflector wall.
b. Position the bag so that it is distributed
around the inside of the tank.
c. Replace and secure the power head onto
the tank.
5) Before replacing power head, confirm that
all filters are installed correctly. Refer to
this manual for further information
6) Replace power head, and apply pressure
with thumb to each latch until it snaps
tightly in place. Make sure all lid latches
are clamped securely.
7) Insert the hose end into inlet of tank.
8) Attach the extension wands to the end of
the hose. Apply slight pressure until fitting
is tight.
9) Attach one of the cleaning accessories
(depending on the cleaning requirements)
on the extension wands. Twist slightly to
tighten the connection.
10) Plug the cord into the wall outlet. The
cleaner is ready for use.
11) Turn the unit "ON" by pushing the switch
from position "O" to position "I". The "O"
is the "OFF" position and the "I" is the
"ON" position.
DRY PICK-UP (Fig. C)
1) Slide cloth filter over lid cage.
2) If you use the vacuum to pick up dust
when the filter is wet, the filter will clog
quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3) Attach power head to the tank and the
vacuum is ready to use.
WET PICK-UP (Fig. D)
1) Remove reusable filter and replace it with
foam filter when you do 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 tank reaches a predetermined level.
When this happens, turn off vac, unplug
the power cord, and empty the dust tank.
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.
NOTICE:
1) To reduce the risk of damage to the
vac, do not run motor with float in
raised position.
2) Wet pick-up accessories should be
washed periodically, especially after
picking up wet, sticky fluids or spills.
This can be accomplished with a
warm solution of soap and water.

BLOWING OPERATION (Fig. F)
!
WARNING:
Always wear safety eyewear
complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada
CSA Z94.3) when using as a blower.
!
WARNING:
To avoid injury to bystanders,
keep them clear of blowing debris.
!
CAUTION:
Wear a dust mask if blowing
creates dust which might be inhaled.
!
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of hearing
damage, wear ear protectors when using
the vac/blower for extended period of time
or when using it in a noisy area. The vac
contains a blowing feature. It has the
capability to blow sawdust and other
debris. It can be used to blow dust and
debris out of garages or off patios and
driveways. Follow the steps below to use
the vac as a blower.
1) Locate blowing port on the vac.
2) Insert one end of the 5ft. x 1-1/4in. hose
into the blowing port.
3) Turn vac "ON".
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FILTER REPLACEMENT
!
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury
from accidental starting, unplug power
cord before changing or cleaning filter.
The filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak vac performance.
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the blower
wheel and motor, always reinstall the
reusable filter before using the vac for dry
pickups and always reinstall the foam filter
before using the vac for wet pickups. (See
illustration Fig. C-D)
NOTICE: After cleaning, check the filter for
tears or small holes. Do not use a filter with
holes or tears in it. Even a small hole can
cause a lot of dust to come out of the vac.
Replace it immediately.
NOTICE: Before installing the filter on the
vac, clean the area of the lid so that the
clamp ring will seal the bag against the lid
and stop small particles from bypassing the
filter bag. If the filter is clean and not
damaged, replace it on the filter cage. If it
cannot be reused, place a new filter over
the filter cage.
NOTICE: Clean the filter in an open area.
Cleaning should be done outdoors and not
in living quarters.
!
WARNING:
Do not remove filter cage
and float. The float prevents water from
entering the impeller and damaging the
motor. The cage prevents fingers from
touching the moving impeller.
