SAVE THIS MANUA
• Do not use with a torn filter or without
the filter installed except when
vacuuming liquids as described in this
manual. Dry debris ingested by the
impeller may damage the motor or be
exhausted back into the air.
• Turn off Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning filter.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord.
To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not use with damaged cord, plug or
other parts. If your Vac is not working as
it should, has missing parts, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, call customer
service.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as
handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac
with wet hands.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use and have a grounding
conductor. Extension cords in poor
condition or too small in wire size can
pose fire and shock hazards.
To reduce the risk of these hazards,
be sure the cord is in good condition
and that the liquid does not contact the
connection. Do not use an extension
cord with conductors smaller than
16 gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce
power loss, use a 14 gauge extension
cord if 25 to 50 ft. long and 12 gauge for
50 ft. or longer.
• Connect only to a properly-grounded
outlet. See grounding instructions.
• Do not put any object into ventilation
openings. Do not vacuum with any
ventilation openings blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair or anything that may
reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all
parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of falls, use extra care
when cleaning on stairs.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to Vac, use only Stinger
recommended accessories.
• When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work
area.
- Do not direct air at bystanders.
- Keep children away when blowing.
- Do not use blower for any job except
blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety eyewear. The operation of any
utility Vac or blower can result in
foreign objects being blown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for
extended time or in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
• Static shocks are common when the
relative humidity of the air is low.
Vacuuming fine debris with your Vac can
deposit static charge on the hose or
Vac. To reduce the frequency of static
shocks in your home or when using this
Vac, add moisture to the air with a
humidifier.
Observe the following warning that
appears on the motor housing of your Vac:
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock - do not expose to rain
- store indoors.
For your own safety, read and
understand owner’s manual. Do not
run unattended. Do not pick up hot
ashes, coals, toxic, flammable or
other hazardous materials. Do not
use around explosive liquids or
vapors.

Grounding Ins ruc ions
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.
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.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
WARNING:
Improper connect on of the equ p-
ment ground ng conductor can
result n a r sk of electr c shock.
Check w th a qual f ed electr c an or
serv ce person f you are n doubt as
to whether the outlet s properly
grounded. Do not mod fy the plug
prov ded w th the appl ance - f t w ll
not f t the outlet, have a proper outlet
nstalled by a qual f ed electr c an.

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, located
above the rib tabs on the filter cage.
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.
2. To maintain peak performance of your
Vac when picking up small debris such
as sawdust, it may be helpful to empty
the dust drum and clean or replace the
filter at more frequent intervals.
NOTE: The filter should be dry to pick up
dry material. If you use your Vac to pick up
dry debris when the filter is wet, the filter
will clog quickly and be very difficult to
clean. In case the filter gets wet, replace it
before continuing dry pickup.
WARNING: Never leave Vac
running while unattended.

Vacuuming iquids
1. Removal of the filter is highly
recommended for wet pickups.
2. This Wet/Dry Vac is equipped 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.
3. Be sure to replace filter after wet pickup.
Never pick up dry debris without the filter
properly installed.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run motor with
float in raised position.

Your filter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
NOTE: The filter is made of high quality
material designed to stop small particles
such as sawdust. Handle the filter carefully
when removing to clean or installing a new
filter. Do not tear the filter during removal
or installation if your intent is to reuse the
filter.
Easy to Replace Filter
1. Remove the retainer band and filter bag
from the filter cage.
2. Place the replacement filter on the filter
cage until the open end touches the
bottom of the lid.
3. Install the retainer band around the filter
bag, locating it over the rib tabs on the
filter cage.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the filter before using the Vac for dry
material pick-up.
Take the dirty filter to a disposal container
and gently brush away small dirt particles
that may be adhering to the filter material.
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 allow a lot of dust to come out of
your Vac. Replace it immediately.
Main enance
Filter
Installation
Before installing the filter on the Vac, clean
the area of the lid so that the retainer band
will 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.
Replace the retainer band around the
filter. Make sure the retainer band is
positioned on the filter, and the filter
completely covers the filter cage. Also,
make sure the edges of the filter are
completely secured under the retainer
band.

Cuando utilice la aspiradora para mojado/seco, siga
siempre las precauciones básicas de seguridad,
incluyendo las siguientes.
ADVERTENCIA
– Para reducir el riesgo de incendio, sacudidas
eléctricas o lesiones:
• Lea y entienda este manual del usuario y todas las
etiquetas que están colocadas en la aspiradora para
mojado/seco antes de utilizarla.
• Utilice la aspiradora únicamente de la manera que
se describe en este manual.
• No deje la aspiradora en marcha mientras esté
desatendida. Usted podría no notar señales
importantes que indiquen un funcionamiento
anormal, tal como pérdida de succión, residuos o
líquido que salen por el escape o ruidos anormales
del motor. Deje de usar la aspiradora inmedia -
tamente si observa estas señales.
• No abandone la aspiradora cuando esté enchufada.
Desenchúfela del tomacorriente cuando no la esté
utilizando y antes de realizar servicio de revisión.
• Las chispas que se producen en el interior del
motor pueden incendiar los vapores inflamables o
el polvo. Para reducir el riesgo de incendio o
explosión: No recoja con la aspiradora líquidos,
gases, o polvos combustibles como gasolina u
otros combustibles, líquido encen dedor,
limpiadores, pinturas a base de aceite, gas natural,
hidrógeno, polvo de carbón, polvo de magnesio,
polvo de aluminio, polvo de granos de cereal o
pólvora, ni use la aspiradora cerca de estos
materiales.
• No recoja con la aspiradora nada que esté ardiendo
o humeando, como cigarrillos, fósforos o cenizas
calientes.
• No recoja con la aspiradora polvo de panel de yeso,
cenizas de chimenea frías ni otros polvos finos, los
cuales es posible que pasen a través de la bolsa del
filtro y sean expulsados de vuelta al aire.
• Para reducir el riesgo de que se produzcan peligros
para la salud causados por vapores o polvo, no
recoja con la aspiradora materiales tóxicos.
• Para reducir el riesgo de descargas eléctricas, no
exponga la aspiradora a la lluvia ni deje que entren
líquidos en el compartimiento del motor. Guarde la
aspiradora en un lugar interior.
• No permita que la aspiradora se utilice como un
juguete. Se necesita prestar máxima atención
cuando sea utilizada por niños o cerca de éstos.
• No use la aspiradora con un filtro desgarrado o sin
tener el filtro instalado, excepto cuando recoja con
ella líquidos de la manera que se describe en este
manual. Los residuos secos absorbidos por el
impulsor podrían dañar el motor o ser expulsados
de vuelta al aire.
• Apague la aspiradora antes de desenchufarla.
• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones debidas a un
arranque accidental, desenchufe el cordón de
energía antes de cambiar o limpiar el filtro.

• No desenchufe la aspiradora tirando del cordón.
Para desenchufarla, agarre el enchufe y no el
cordón.
• No use la aspiradora con el cordón dañado, el
enchu fe dañado u otras piezas dañadas. Si la
aspira dora no funciona como debe, le faltan piezas,
se ha caído, ha sido dañada, se ha dejado a la
intem perie o se ha caído al agua, llame a servicio
al cliente.
• No tire de la aspiradora usando el cordón ni la lleve
por el cordón, ni use el cordón como asa, ni cierre
una puerta sobre el cordón, ni tire del cordón alre -
dedor de bordes o esquinas afilados. Mantenga el
cordón alejado de las superficies calientes.
• No maneje el enchufe, el interruptor o la aspiradora
con las manos mojadas.
• Utilice únicamente cordones de extensión que tengan
capacidad nominal para uso a la intemperie y
tengan un conductor de conexión a tierra. Los
cordones de extensión que estén en malas
condiciones o tengan un tamaño de alambre
demasiado pequeño pueden crear peligros de
incendio y descargas eléctricas. Para reducir el
riesgo de estos peligros, asegúrese de que el
cordón esté en buenas condiciones y que el líquido
no entre en contacto con la conexión. No utilice un
cordón de extensión que tenga conductores con un
diámetro menor al calibre 16 (AWG). Para reducir
la pérdida de potencia, utilice un cordón de
extensión de calibre 14 si la longitud es de 25 a 50
pies, y de calibre 12 si la longitud es de 50 pies o
más.
• Conecte la aspiradora solamente a un toma -
corriente conectado a tierra apropiadamente.
Consulte las instrucciones de conexión a tierra.
• No ponga ningún objeto en las aberturas de venti -
lación. No recoja nada con la aspiradora cuando
cualquiera de las aberturas de ventilación esté
bloqueada; mantenga dichas aberturas libres de
polvo, pelusa, pelo o cualquier cosa que pueda
reducir el flujo de aire.
• Mantenga el pelo, la ropa holgada, los dedos y
todas las partes del cuerpo alejados de las aber -
turas y de las piezas móviles.
• Para reducir el riesgo de caídas, tenga cuidado
adicional al limpiar en escaleras.
• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones corporales o
daños a la aspiradora, utilice únicamente
accesorios recomendados por Stinger.
• Cuando utilice la aspiradora como soplador :
- Dirija la descarga de aire solamente hacia el área
de trabajo.
- No dirija el aire hacia las personas que estén
presentes.
- Mantenga alejados a los niños durante la
operación de soplado.
- No utilice el soplador para trabajos que no sean
soplar suciedad y residuos.
- No use la aspiradora como rociador.
• Para reducir el riesgo de lesiones en los ojos,
use pro tección ocular de seguridad. La utilización
de cual quier aspiradora utilitaria o soplador utilitario
puede hacer que se soplen objetos extraños hacia
los ojos, lo cual puede causar daños graves en
los ojos.
PRECAUCIÓN:
• Para reducir el riesgo de daños a la audición, use
protectores de oídos cuando utilice la aspiradora
durante muchas horas seguidas o cuando la
emplee en un área ruidosa.
• Para operaciones que generan polvo, use una
máscara antipolvo.
• Las descargas de estática son comunes cuando
la humedad relativa del aire es baja. Si recoge
residuos finos con la aspiradora, se puede
depositar carga estática en la manguera o en la
aspiradora. El mejor remedio para reducir la
frecuencia de las descargas de estática en su casa
o cuando use esta aspiradora es añadir humedad
al aire con un humidificador.
!
Siga las siguientes advertencias que aparecen en la
caja del motor de la aspiradora.
ADVERTENCIA: Para reducir el riesgo de
sacudidas eléctricas, no exponga la aspiradora a
la lluvia y almacénela en interiores.

Este electrodoméstico se debe conectar a tierra. En
caso de mal funcionamiento o avería, la conexión a
tierra proporciona una ruta de resistencia mínima
para la corriente eléctrica con el fin de reducir el
riesgo de sacudidas eléctricas. Este electro -
doméstico está equipado con un cordón que tiene
un conductor de conexión a tierra del equipo y un
enchufe de conexión a tierra. El enchufe debe
introducirse en un tomacorriente apropiado que esté
instalado correctamente y conectado a tierra
adecuadamente, de acuerdo con todos los códigos y
ordenanzas locales.
Este electrodoméstico está diseñado para
utilizarse en un circuito de 120 V nominales y
tiene un enchufe conectado a tierra que tiene un
aspecto como el del enchufe que se muestra en
la ilustración. Se puede utilizar un adaptador
temporal, que tenga un aspecto como el del
adaptador que se muestra en la ilustración, para
conectar este enchufe a un receptáculo de dos
polos, de la manera que se muestra en la ilus -
tración, si no se dispone de un tomacorriente
conectado a tierra apropiadamente. El adaptador
temporal debe utilizarse únicamente hasta que un
electricista calificado pueda instalar un toma -
corriente conectado a tierra apropiada mente. La
orejeta, lengüeta o pieza similar rígida de color
verde que sobresale del adaptador se debe
conectar a una toma de tierra permanente, como
por ejemplo una tapa de caja tomacorriente
conectada a tierra apropiadamente. Siempre que
se utilice el adaptador, se debe sujetar en la
posición correcta con un tornillo metálico.
NOTA: En Canadá, el uso de un adaptador temporal
no está permitido por el Código Eléctrico
Canadiense.
ADVERTENCIA:
La conexión incorrecta del conductor de
conexión a tierra del equipo puede causar un
riesgo de sacudidas eléc tricas. Consulte a un
electricista calificado o a una persona de
servicio competente si tiene dudas sobre si
el tomacorriente está conectado a tierra
apropiadamente. No modifique el en chufe
suministrado con el electrodoméstico. Si el
enchufe no cabe en el tomacorriente, haga que
un electricista calificado instale un
tomacorriente apropiado.
