Safety Signal Words
_, DANGER: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
,A, 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
result in minor or moderate injury.
When using your Vac, always follow basic
safety precautions including the following:
WARNING
-To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
• Read and understand this manual and
all labels on the Vac before operating.
• Use only as described in this manual.

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.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance 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 "1".
The symbols used on the switch actuator
are international "On & Off" symbols. "O"
is the symbol for "OFF" and "1" is the
symbol for "ON".

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 will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
The optional Craftsman HEPA Rated
Material Filter, stock number 9-17912 will
do a better job stopping very fine parti-
cles than the 9-17816 filter.
Vacuuming Liquids
_, WARNING: Do not operate
without filter cage and float, as they
prevent liquid from entering the
impeller and damaging the motor.
Emptying the Drum
1. Remove the power assembly. Push
down and pull out the flexible locking
tabs to release from drum.
2. While holding the locking tabs out, lift
the power assembly up and away from
the drum.
3. Lay power assembly upside down on a
clean area while emptying drum.
4. Dump the drum contents into the prop-
er waste disposal container.
5. The 113.179675, 9-Gallon Wet/Dry Vac
comes equipped with a drain for easy
emptying of liquids. Simply unscrew the
drain cap and lift the opposite side
slightly to empty the drum.
_, WARNING: To reduce the risk of
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.
1. When picking up small amounts of liq-
uid the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of liq-
uid we recommend that the filter be
removed. If the filter is not removed, it
will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
3. 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.
4. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float mecha-
nism will rise automatically to cut off
air-flow. When this happens, turn off
the Vac, unplug the power cord, and
empty the drum. You will know that the
float has risen because Vac airflow
ceases and the motor noise will
become higher in pitch, due to
increased motor speed.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of dam-
age to the Vac do not run motor with float
in raised position.
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.
1. Locate blowing port of your Vac.

WARNING: Always wear safety
eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada CSA Z94.3) when
using as a blower.
_1_WARNING: To avoid injury to
bystanders, keep them clear of
blowing debris.
ACAUTION: Wear a dust mask if
blowing creates dust which might
be inhaled.
_, CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
hearing damage, wear ear protec-
tors when using the Vac/blower for
extended hours or when using it in
a noisy area.
2. Insert the locking end of the "Pos-I-
Lock_'' hose into the blowing port of the
Vac. The hose should snap into place.
To remove the hose from the Vac,
press the release button in the hose
assembly and pull the hose out of the
Vac inlet.
3. (Optional) Attach extension wand to
opposite end of hose.
4. Turn Vac on and you are ready to use
your Vac as a blower.
Craftsman recommended accessories are
available at Sears retail stores and
sears.com. The Sears Car Nozzle Stock
No. 17839 is recommended for blowing
debris.

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 parti-
cles 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.
Filter Removal
To remove the filter for cleaning or
replacement, unscrew the filter nut from
the filter cage, remove filter plate and lift
off filter.
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.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
10

Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the filter
from the Vac. Slap your hand on top of
the power assembly while the Vac is
turned off.
For best cleaning results due to accumu-
lated dust, clean the filter in an open
area. Cleaning SHOULD be done out-
doors 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. Dry the
filter before storing.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth damp-
ened with warm water and mild soap.
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 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes, care-
fully swishing every few minutes, mak-
ing sure to wet all inside surfaces of
the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
Casters
If your casters are noisy, you may put a
drop of oil on the roller shaft to make them
quieter.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the drum should
be emptied and cleaned. The cord should
be wrapped around the unit and the hose
should be stored as described in this
manual. Accessories should be kept in the
same area as the Vac so they can be
readily available. The Vac should be stored
indoors.
,_, WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs
and adjustment should be performed
by Sears Service Centers, always
using Sears replacement parts.
