Vacuuming Dry Materials; Vacuuming Liquids - Craftsman CMXEVBE172500 Instruction Manual

Vacuuming Dry Materials (Fig. M)
1. The Filter Bag must always be in correct position to
reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to Vac.
Make sure that the Filter Bag is completely covering
the Filter Cage and that the Retainer Band is as close to
the Powerhead Assembly as possible. Make sure there
are no gaps between the Filter Bag and the Powerhead
Assembly.
NOTE: It is very important to assemble the Filter Bag to
the cage without allowing any possible leaks or tears.
Any leaks will allow the picked up media to be blown
out of the Blower Port and back into the surrounding
environment.
2. When using your Vac to pick up very fine dust,
it will be necessary for you to empty the Dust Drum
and clean or replace the Filter Bag at more frequent
intervals to maintain peak Vac performance.
NOTE: A dry Filter Bag is necessary to pick up dry material.
If you use your Vac to pick up dust when the Filter Bag is
wet, the Filter Bag will clog quickly and be very difficult
to clean. In case the Filter Bag gets wet, replace it before
continuing to do dry pickups.
Replacement Filter Bags CMXZVBE38737 should be used.

1. Removal of the Filter Bag is highly recommended for
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 Drum reaches a predetermined level.
When this happens, turn OFF Vac, unplug the Power
Cord, and empty the Dust Drum. 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.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac
do not run Motor with Float in raised position.

WARNING:
Do not operate without filter cage and float, as
they prevent liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. For dry material pick-up, do not
operate without the filter bag in place to reduce the risk
of damage to the motor.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not vacuum
flammable or combustible liquids, gases or dust.
