Safety Signal Words
A DANGER: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
Ak WARNING: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could

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 a Sears
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.
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
Vac has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will 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.
After you plug the power cord into the
outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the
switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the switch actuator
are international "On & Off" symbols:
O="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.
2. When using your Vac to pick up very
fine dust, 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 wilt
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
Dry the filter before storing.
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 of the Vac by
pulling outward on the latches located
on each side of the Vac. Lift off the
power head by the handle.
2. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
jHandle
Vacuuming Liquids
_, WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
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. If the filter is not removed,
it wilt become saturated and misting
may appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. 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.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the filter must be dried to reduce the
risk of possible mildew and damage to
the filter.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac do not run motor with
float in raised position.

Maintenance
Filter
_, WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from accidental starting, unplug
power cord before changing or
cleaning filter.
NOTE: This filter is made of high quality
paper designed to stop very small
particles of dust. The filter can be used
for wet or dry pick up. Handle the filter
carefully when removing to clean or
installing it. Creases in the filter pleats
may occur from installation but creases
will not affect the performance of the
filter.
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.
4. Gently push on the filter plate to seat
the rubber ring of the filter inside the
circular channel of the filter plate.
5. Place the filter nut onto the threaded
screws and tighten it down. Finger
tighten only.
NOTE: Lever of filter nut should be away
from plate as shown.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten as this
may deform or crack the filter cage or
filter plate.
NOTE: Your filter has a purple stripe that
matches an in-store disptayer. When you
visit your local Sears store, just
remember the color of your stripe for the
correct size filter.

Filter Removal and Replacement
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the blower wheel and motor,
always reinstall the filter before using the
Vac for dry material pickup.
Filter Removal:
1. To remove the filter for cleaning or
replacement, unscrew the filter nut
from the filter cage, remove filter plate
and lift off filter.
2. To replace the filter, carefully slide the
filter over the filter cage, sliding it over
the center ring covering the three slots
until the filter stops against the power
head.
3. Place the hole in the filter plate over
the threaded screw of the filter cage.
•Drum

Maintenance (continued)
NOTE: If filter cage needs to be
removed, or replaced, use a flat blade
screwdriver and insert the blade near one
of the tabs between the filter cage and
the center ring of the power head. Pry the
tab out of the slot. Tilt the cage and lift
away from the power head. Replace in
the following manner:
1. Place the float over the opening in the
center of the power head as shown,
laying face down over the hole.
2. Line up filter cage tabs with slots in the
center ring of the power head.
3. Push on the filter cage until the tabs
snap into slots for a secure fit.
Slots (3)
Cleaning A Dry Filter
Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the filter
from the Vac. Slap your hand on top of
the power head while the Vac is turned
off.
For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the filter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
After filter removal from Vac, remove the
dry debris by gently tapping the filter
against the inside wall of your dust drum.
The debris will loosen and fall.
For thorough cleaning of dry filter with
fine dust (no debris), run water through it
as described under "Cleaning A Wet
Filter".
Cleaning A Wet Filter
After filter is removed, run water through
the filter from a hose or spigot. Take care
that water pressure from the hose is not
strong enough to damage filter.

To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm water
and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e., waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
