Blowing Operation - DeWalt DXV06PL Instruction Manual

ENGLISH
3. This wet/dry vac is equipped with a oat
mechanism which will rise automatically to
cut off the air ow 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 oat has shut the air ow 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 oat in
raised position.
Float in raised position
NOTE: IF TIPPED OVER, THE VACUUM
COULD LOSE SUCTION. IF THIS OCCURS,
PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND
TURN SWITCH OFF. THIS WILL ALLOW
THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO ITS NORMAL
POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE OPERATION.
EMPTY THE TANK
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental
starting, unplug power cord before emptying
the dust tank.
1. Remove the power head assembly of the
wet/ dry vac by pulling outward on the lid
clips located on each side of the vac.
Lift off the power head assembly.
2. Dump the tank contents into the proper
waste disposal container.
