DRY VACUUMING
WARNING: BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY, INFORMATION ENTITLED
'SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS'. DO NOT VACUUM IN AREAS WITH
FLAMMABLE GASES, VAPORS, OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS 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, GRAIN,
OR GUN POWDER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS FROM VAPORS OR
DUST, DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC MATERIALS.
NOTICE
Do not vacuum drywall dust, fireplace soot, or ash with a standard Wet/Dry filter. This is a very
fine dust which will not be captured by the filter and may cause damage to the motor. When
vacuuming fine dust, use a fine dust filter (included). To purchase the additional fine dust filters,
call 1-866-384-8432 or get them at your local or online Vacmaster
WARNING: DO NOT PLUG POWER CORD INTO POWER OUTLET. MAKE SURE PLUG IS
DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTERS.
1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (Fig. 1)
2. In order to prepare your vacuum for dry vacuuming, verify that the cartridge filter is securely
mounted. Make sure the filter is pushed in until it stops against the power head. Your Wet/Dry
Vac comes with the cartridge filter pre-installed. For installation instructions, see page 11. (Fig. 2)
3. Optional: For improved dust filtering, fit collection bag flange onto the inlet port, taking care not
to damage the bag. Dust bag sold separately. (Fig. 3)
4. Place the power head back on the collection tank, aligning the top section with the latches, and
snap into place. (Fig. 4)
