OPERATION
!
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the Vac/Blower for extended time or in a noisy area.
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
Vac has a Polarized Plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This Plug will fit in
a Polarized Outlet only one 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. Do not change the Plug in any way.
With Power Cord plugged in, turn the Vac
"ON" by pressing in on the "I" (top) on the
Power Switch. To turn "OFF" press the
"O" (bottom) of the Power Switch. The
symbols used on the Switch Actuator are
international "On & Off" symbols.

Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The Filter must always be correctly
installed to avoid leaks and possible
Vac damage.
2. To maintain peak performance when
vacuuming fine dust, clean the Drum
and Filter regularily.
NOTE:
picking up dry material. The Filter will
quickly clog and be difficult to clean.
3. If the Filter is wet, you must allow it to
dry completely or replace it with a dry
Filter before using the Vac to pick up
dry material.
