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.
Ak 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.

Operation (continued)
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 quali-
fied 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".
=OFF I=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 17912
will do a better job stopping very fine
particles than the 17816 filter.
Vacuuming Liquids
Ai, 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 will become saturated and misting
may appear in the exhaust.
3. 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.
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.

Operation (continued)
Emptying the Drum
1. Remove the lid. Pull the flexible latches
outward on each side of the lid to
release from the drum.
2. While holding the latches out, lift the
top assembly up and away from the
drum.
3. Lay top assembly upside down on a
clean area while emptying drum or
changing filter.
4. Dump the drum contents into the
proper waste disposal container.
AWARNING: 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.
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.
A WARNING: Always wear safety
eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before
using as a blower.
AWARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury to bystanders, keep them clear
of blowing debris.
A CAUTION: Wear a dust mask if
blowing creates dust which might be
inhaled.
A CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the Vac/Blower for
extended time or in a noisy area.
1. Locate blowing port of your Vac.
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
small amounts of liquid pick up or dry
pick up. Handle the filter carefully when
removing to clean or installing it. Creases
in the filter pleats may occur from installa-
tion but creases will not affect the per-
formance 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 and Replacement
WARNING: Do not operate without
filter cage and float, as they prevent
liquid from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. For dry material
pick-up, do not operate without the fil-
ter in place to reduce the risk of dam-
age to the motor.
Filter Installation:
1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock TM filter
over the filter cage and press down on
the outside edge of the filter until the
rubber gasket on the bottom of the filter
seats securely around the base of the
filter cage and against the lid.
2. Align the small center hole in the top of
the filter over the Qwik Lock TM stud on
the filter cage. Press firmly on top of
the filter near the stud to allow the filter
to snap over the ball on the end of the
stud. The filter is now attached.

Filter Removal:
1. Hold the filter tabs of the Qwik Lock TM
filter in each hand.
2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock TM
stud, which protrudes through the inte-
grated filter plate, lift up on the filter
tabs while pushing down on the stud.
3. This action will cause the filter to
release from the filter cage. Slide filter
off cage.

Maintenance (continued)
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 powerhead 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.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its
best, clean the outside with a cloth
dampened with warm water and mild
soap.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm water
and mild soap.
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,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making 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.
Cord Wrap ._.._j_----.__
Power Cord _
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e., waste water pick up) the drum
should be disinfected.
_. WARNING: To assure product
SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs
and adjustment should be performed
by Sears Parts and Repair Service
Centers, always using Sears replace-
ment parts.
