WARNING
To avoid fire or explosion caused by the igniting
of vapors or dust due to the arcing of the motor
brushes, do not operate this vac in areas with
flammable vapors such as lighter fluid, cleaners,
oil-base paints, gasoline, alcohol or explosive dust
such as coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder
in the air. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flamma-
ble or combustible liquids or hot ashes. Do not
use this vac as a sprayer for any flammable or
combustible liquid. To avoid health hazards from
vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials.
To avoid electrical shock do not expose to rain.
Store vac indoors. Unplug power cord before
changing or cleaning filter or emptying the dust
drum.
VACUUMING DRY MATERIALS
1. The filter must be in correct position at all times to
avoid leaks and possible damage to vac.
2. When using your vac to pick up very fine sawdust
from drywall type material it will be necessary for
you to empty the drum and clean 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 difficult to
clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use the vac to
pick up dry material, you can quickly dry the filter
by running the vac without hose attached for 10
minutes. The clean air rushing through the vac will
dry the filter enough for dry pick up.
VACUUMING LiQUiDS
1. When the liquid in the drum reaches apredetermined
level, the vac which is equipped with a float
mechanism which will rise automatically to cut off
airflow. When the float has risen, turn off the vac,
unplug the power cord, and empty the drum.
2. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the filter must
be dried to avoid possible mildew and damage to
the filter.
3. When picking up small amounts of liquid the filter
may be left in place.
4. When picking up large amounts of liquid we recom-
mend that the filter be removed. If the filter is not
removed, it will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust air from the handles.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the vac do not run
motor with float in up position.
NOTE: You will know that the float has risen because
vac airflow ceases and the motor noise witl become
higher in pitch--due to increase in the motor speed.
