Dry Vacuuming: See figure 6, page 10 WARNING! In low relative humidity conditions, vacuuming fine debris with the wet/dry vac can cause a static charge resulting in static shock. To reduce static shock while using, add moisture to the air with a humidifier. Vacuum only items small enough to fit through the hose or the attachment. When dry vacuuming, make sure that the dry use filter stays in place. The performance of the wet/ dry vac will decrease with a full collection container. When emptying the collection container, check to see if the dry use filter needs replacing. NOTE: The wet/dry vac is shipped ready for dry use vacuuming. To equip the wet/dry vac for wet use, remove the dry use filter. Wet Vacuuming: See Figure 7, page 10 Starting/Stopping the Wet/Dry Vac See figure 4, page 9 • To start the wet/dry vac: Press the On/Off switch to the On (|) position. • To stop the wet/dry vac: Press the On/Off switch to the Off (0) position. Installing/Removing Attachements See Figure 5, page 10 • Vacuuming can be performed with only the flexible hose or the hose with vacuum attachments. • Press the On/Off switch to the Off (0) position. • Insert the attachment into the front end of the flexible hose, making sure the attachment is firmly in place. • To remove, hold the attachment and pull from hose. WARNING! When vacuuming liquid, make sure the product does not get submerged or doused in liquid, which could cause shock, vacuum failure, or personal injury. When wet vacuuming, be aware that your wet/dry vac is equipped with a safety plug inside the filter unit housing. This safety plug is designed to shut the suction off when the collection container reaches full wet capacity. When the collection container is full, turn the wet/dry vac off and empty the collection container as shown in Maintenance. • Unlock the four locking latches and remove the lid. • Remove the dry use filter. • Replace lid and lock securely.
