REPLACEMENT PARTS When servicing use only identical replacement parts. MOTOR Many Porter-Cable products will operate on either D.C. or single phase, 25 to 60 cycle A.C. current, and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage and current rating. CAUTION: Do not operate your appliance on a current on which the voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate appliances rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the appliance. EXTENSION CORD SELECTION If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix W-A or W following the cord type designation. For example - SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Attach the Vacuum Hose to the appropriate accessory nozzle, or to the dust port of a power tool. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The PorLer-Cable Power Tool-Triggered Wet/Dry Vac is designed for use as a general purpose shop vacuum, or for use connected to various power tools. With the dust bag removed, it can be used to pick up water and other wet materials. A power outlet is provided that allows a power tool to be connected to the Vacuum Cleaner. The Vacuum Cleaner will automatically switch "ON" when the power tool is started, and it will automatically switch "OFF" approximately 6 to 10 seconds after the power tool is turned "OFF". POWER SWITCH The power switch on both the 7812 and 7814 models has two positions - on and off. When not using a power tool, turn the vacuum cleaner to the "ON" position to begin vacuuming. These vacuums can be used to provide attached to a power tool. a dust-free environment when An accessory outlet is located under a hinged cover (A) Fig. 5 on the front of the vacuum cleaner. Lift this cover to expose the outlet. Connect the power cord of the power tool to this outlet. Turn the power switch of the vacuum cleaner to the "ON" position. A green light, located next to the outlet, will glow. This light indicates that the vacuum will start automatically when the power tool is activated. When the power tool is switched to the "OFF" position, the vacuum motor will continue to run for 6 to 10 seconds to finish collecting the dust, and then it will stop. Fig. 5 PARKING BRAKE Both models are equipped with a Parking Brake. The parking brake wiU lock one wheel to prevent the vacuum from rolling. To engage parking brake, use your toe to depress the brake button. The brake will snap into the locked position.

TOP FILTER Both models are equipped with a top filter, if vacuum efficiency is reduced (indicating a clogged filter), proceed as follows: 1. Turn the Vacuum Cleaner switch to the "OFF" position. Grasp handle (C) Fig. 6 and pull out (approximately one and one-half inches), then release. Repeat several times. This action "shakes" the filter to remove loose dirt. 2. Switch Vacuum Cleaner "ON" and check performance. If still unsatisfactory, switch Vacuum Cleaner "OFF" and continue to step 3. Fig. 6 3. CAUTION: DISCONNECT Fig. 7 APPLIANCE FROM POWER CIRCUIT, 4. Pull upward on the filter cover lock, located on rear of the motor unit (see Fig. 7) to expose the filter. 5. Remove the filter (see Fig. 8) and tap it to remove any loose dirt. 6. If the filter is still dirty, clean it under running water (see Fig. 9). If this does not adequately clean the filter, replace it. NOTE: Allow wet filter to dry before re-installing it in the appliance. Fig. 8 Fig. 9 NOTE: A small sponge filter is located next to the top filter. This filter helps to cool the motor. Check the filter on a regular basis, if it is dirty, clean it by blowing dry compressed air through it. DRY PICK-UP CAUTION: Do not pick up anything that is burn!ng, smoldering, or smoking such as matches, cigarettes, or hot ashes. Do not use to vacuum combustible explosive materials, such as coal, grain, or other finely divided combustible material. Do not use to vacuum hazardous, toxic, or carcinogenic materials, such as asbestos or pesticide. The vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up dry material with or without e dust bag installed. The dust bag provides a convenient method for disposing of the material that is collected. Always use a paper bag when collecting fine dust. The bag will reduce clogging of the flat filter, and increase dust holding capacity. WET PICK-UP CAUTION: Never pick-up explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, paint thinner, etc.), acids or solvents. Always remove paper bag before picking up liquids or wet material. The vacuum motor will shut off automatically when the container is full. Move the power switch to the "OFF" position before emptying container. CAUTION: DISCONNECT APPLIANCE FROM POWER CIRCUIT BEFORE REMOVING POWER UNIT FROM CONTAINER.
