WARNING:
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, alumi-
num, 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.
CAUTION:
To reduce risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using the vac for extended
hours or when using it in a noisy area.
This 5-gallon wet/dry vac is assembled at the factory and ready for use when you remove
it from the carton. The unit is ready for dry vacuuming or blowing. After you plug the
power cord into the wall receptacle, 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.
O = OFF I = ON
DRY PICK-UP
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 clamp ring 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 debris to be blown out of
the blowing port and back into the surrounding environment.
2. When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary to empty the dust
tank and clean or replace the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak vac
performance.
NOTE:
A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up dust when
the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very di cult to clean. If the filter gets
wet, replace it before continuing to do dry pickups.
INSTALLING DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG
1. Slide the cardboard collar opening firmly onto the vacuum port deflector until it stops
against the deflector wall.
2. Position the bag so that it is distributed around the inside of the tank.
3. Replace and secure the power head onto the tank
