This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and
grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Properly 3-Prong Plug

connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance - if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug
that looks like the plug shown. A
temporary adaptor that looks like the
adaptor shown may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as
shown. If a properly grounded outlet is
not available, the temporary adaptor
should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear, lug or the like extending from
the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.

Operation
_, WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vac:
• Do not leave Vac running while unattended - you may fail to notice important signs
indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris/liquid exiting
exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if you notice
these signs.
• Do not leave Vac plugged-in when not in use.
• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
• Do not operate Vac in areas with flammable gases, vapors or explosive dust in the
air. Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Flammable gases
and vapors include: lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline,
alcohol, or aerosol sprays. Flammable dusts include: coal, magnesium,
aluminum, grain, or gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
• Do not use Vac as a sprayer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
• Do not service Vac while it is plugged-in. If your Vac is not working as it should,
has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to an independent service center or call customer service.
• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in good
condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with liquid.
• Do not vacuum toxic materials to reduce the risk of inhaling the vapors or dust.
After you plug the power cord into the
wall receptacle, turn the unit "ON" by
pushing the switch from position "O" to
position "r'. The symbols used on the
switch are international symbols. The "O"
is the "OFF" position and the "r' is the
"ON" position:
=OFF I=ON

Operation (continued)
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to Vac. Make sure
that the filter is completely covering the
filter cage and that the retainer band is
as close to the lid as possible. Make
sure there are no gaps between the
filter and the lid. (See illustration).
It is very important to assemble the
filter to the cage without allowing any
possible leaks or tears. Any leaks will
allow the picked up media to be blown
out of the blower port and back into
the surrounding environment.
Retainer
Band
Vacuuming Liquids
WARNING: Do not operate without
filter cage and float, as they prevent
liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor.
1. Removal of the filter is highly
recommended for wet pickups.
2. This Wet/Dry Vac isequipped with a float
mechanism which will rise automatically
to cut off the airflow when the liquid in
the drum reaches a predetermined level.
When this happens, turn off Vac, unplug
the power cord, and empty the dust
drum. You will know that the float has
shut the airflow 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
float in raised position.
2. When using your Vac to pick up very
fine dust, it wilt be necessary for you to
empty the dust drum and clean or
replace 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 wilt
clog quickly and be very difficult to
clean.In case the filter gets wet, replace it
before continuing to do dry pickups.

Operation (continued)
Emptying the Drum
_WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting, unplug
power cord before emptying the drum.
1. Remove the power head assembly of
the Wet/Dry Vac by pulling outward on
the latches located on each side of the
Vac. Lift off the power head assembly.
2. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.

Blowing Feature
Your Vac features a blowing port. It can
blow sawdust and other debris. Follow
the steps below to use your Vac as a
blower.
WARNING: Always wear safety
eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada CSA Z94.3) when using
as a blower.
_WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury to bystanders, keep them clear
of blowing debris.
Ak CAUTION: Wear a dust mask if
blowing creates dust which might be
nha ed.
,_, CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the Vac/Blower for
extended time or in a noisy area.
I
I
1. Locate blowing port of your Vac.
2. Insert one end of the hose into the
blowing port.
3. Turn Vac "ON" and you are ready to
use your Vac as a blower.
NOTE: If you need additional length at
the end of the hose, extension wands are
available at Sears retail stores or
www.sears.com as Stock No. 17849.

Maintenance
Filter Cleaning
Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
Take the dirty filter to a disposal container
and gently brush away small dirt particles
that may be adhering to the filter material.
NOTE: Clean the filter in an open area.
Cleaning should be done outdoors and
not in the living quarters.
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.
Filter Removal and
Replacement
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.
1. Extend the retainer band around the
plastic posts on the lid (See Figure 1
and 2).
2. Remove filter bag off the filter cage.
3. Place the replacement filter on the filter
cage until open end touches bottom of
lid.
4. Release the retainer band from the
plastic post on the lid, holding the filter
bag secure to the lid.
5. Make sure the retainer band is
positioned on the filter bag between the
printed lines (See Figure 3).

NOTE: Filters may be purchased at your
local Sears store or www.sears.com and
are sold by Stock No. 16949.
NOTE: Before installing the filter on the
Vac, clean the area of the lid so that the
retainer band wilt seal the bag against the
lid and stop small particles from
bypassing the filter bag.
If the filter is clean and not damaged,
replace it on the filter cage. If it cannot be
reused, place a new filter over the filter
cage.
