Safety Goggles are available at Sears retail stores. 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 about 10 minutes. The clean air rushing through the vac will help dry the filter. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug wilt 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. Vacuuming After you plug the power cord into the outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the switch from position "O" to position "t". The symbols used on the motor cover are international "On & Off' symbols. "0" is the symbol for "OFF" and 'T' is the symbol for "ON". 3. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the filter must be dried to avoid possible mildew and damage to the filter. 0 =OFF Vacuuming I= ON Dry Materials 1. The filter must always be in correct position to avoid leaks and possible damage to vac. 2. When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to Liquids 1. When picking up small amounts of liquid the filter may be left in place. 2. When picking up large amounts of liquid we recommend that the filter be removed.

When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism wilt rise automatically to cut off airflow. When this happens, turn off the vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. You wilt know that the float has risen because vac airflow ceases and the motor noise wilt become higher in pitch, due to increased motor speed. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the vac do not run motor with float in raised position. Emptying the Drum accidental starting, unplug power I cord ARNING: avoid injury from before To emptying the drum. Cord Wrap When vacuuming is complete, unplug the cord and wrap it around the handle. 1.

Dump the drum contents into the proper waste disposal container. Dump drum contents opposite the vacuum inlet to avoid spillage. WARNING: To avoid back injury or falls, do not lift a vac heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop or drain enough contents out to make the vac light enough to lift comfortably. Moving the Vac 1. Should it become necessary to pick the vac up to move it, DO NOT pick the vac up by the lid handles unless dust drum is empty. To avoid dropping the vac due to latches releasing or possible part breakage, pick the vac up by the lip of the dust drum. Maintenance Filter dental starting, unplug power cord I before ARNING: To avoid injury from accichanging or cleaning filter.

Cleaning Your filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak vac performance. Be sure to dry the filter before storing or picking up dry debris. IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the filter for tears or small holes. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it. Even a small hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of your vac. Replace it immediately. Removal To remove the filter for cleaning or replacement, unscrew the filter nut from the filter cage, remove filter plate and lift off filter. WARNING: Do not remove the filter cage. It is there to help prevent your fingers from getting into the blower wheel.
