General Power Tools Safety Warnings
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1) Electrical Safety
a) Power lead plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Do not operate powered products in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Powered products create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
g) Keep children and bystanders away while operating any powered products.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
3) Vacuum Safety Instructions
a) This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or
lacking experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or are instructed
by these persons on the use of the device.
b) Children should be supervised, to ensure that they do not play with the device.
c) Keep packaging film away from children- risk of suffocation!
d) Switch off and disconnect the appliance after every use and prior to cleaning/maintenance procedure.
e) Risk of fire. Do not vacuum up any burning or glowing objects.
f) The appliance may not be used in areas where a risk of explosion is present.
g) Only use the appliance for its designated purpose. Any other types of use are at your own risk and are possibly dangerous.
h) Never use the appliance when you are under the influence of medication, alcohol or drugs, if you are currently under
medical care, or if you are tired.

20L WET & DRY GARAGE VAC
4) Risk of Electric Shock
a. Never touch the mains plug and the socket with wet hands.
b. Do not pull the plug from the socket by pulling on the power cable.
c. Check the power cord and mains plug for damage before every use.
d. To avoid accidents due to electrical faults we recommend the use of sockets with a line-side current-limiting circuit
breaker (max. 30 mA nominal tripping current).
e. Check the appliance and the power cord regularly for any possible damage. Don’t use damaged appliances.
f. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
Caution: Certain materials may produce explosive vapours or mixtures when agitated by the suction air!
g. Never vacuum up the following materials:
i) Explosive or combustible gases, liquids and dust particles (reactive dust particles).
ii) Reactive metal dust particles (such as aluminium, magnesium, zinc) in combination with highly alkaline or acidic
detergents.
iii) Undiluted, strong acids and alkalise.
iv) Organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinners, acetone, heating oil).
Note: In addition, these substances may cause the appliance materials to corrode.
h. Do not vacuum up ashes, hot coals and the like, large fragments of glass and sharp objects.
i. Don’t vacuum up any toner dust, which is used in printers and copiers for example, because it is electrically conductive. In
addition, it is possible that it will not be completely filtered out by the filter system of the wet/dry vacuum cleaner and can be
released into the air via the exhaust fan.
5) Labels on Tool
The following symbols are shown on the tool:
Your Vacuum Cleaner is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required. Always check that the mains
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
The Vacuum Cleaner is intended for indoor use only.

The KP702 20L Wet & Dry garage vac comes with three filter types.
Foam Filter (18): The foam filter (18) should only to be installed when you are using
the vacuum to clean up spills or when water is present where you are vacuuming.
The foam filter (18) is designed to prevent water splash-back within the vacuum
tank (10) from entering the motor head (4) during operation.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FOAM FILTER IN DRY VACUUMING APPLICATIONS.
Cloth filter (16): The cloth filter (16) has a filter rating of 6 microns and can be
installed for all general vacuuming applications where water is not present. This
cloth filter (16) can be continuously used for many years as it is a cleanable &
washable accessory.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CLOTH FILTER IN WET VACUUMING APPLICATIONS.
3 Micron Filter Cartridge (16): The 3 Micron Filter Cartridge (17) is a cartridge
style filter with a partical rating of 3 microns and can be installed for all general
vacuuming applications where water is not present. This 3 Micron Filter Cartridge
(17) can be continuously used for many years as it is a cleanable accessory.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE 3 MICRON FILTER CARTRIDGE IN WET
VACUUMING APPLICATIONS.
Note:
• The cloth filter (16) is to be used in conjunction with the 3Micron Filter Cartridge (17) to provide additional filtration.
Ensure that you clean the cloth filter (16) and 3 Micron Filter Cartridge (17) regularly for optimal performance.
• Regular cleaning of the filters is required to maintain optimal suction of the vacuum.
• Failure to clean the filters regularly can lead to damage of the vacuum and or poor performance of the product.

1. To turn OFF the motor of the vacuum press the ON/Off switch (12) to the “OFF” “O”
position (fig 6b).
3c) Vacuuming
Note: When vacuuming dry materials it may be required to open the front or rear face of the wet &
dry floor tool (8) to allow the larger debris (wood shavings, large dirt clumps etc.) to be sucked into
the vacuum.
This can be achieved by tilting the wet & dry floor tool (8) up or down approximately 5-10˚ to create
an opening between the wet & dry floor tool (8) front face and the floor. When pushing the wet & dry
floor tool (8) forward push the extension wand (13) towards the ground slightly to open the front face
of the wet & dry floor tool (8) and allow the debris to enter the vacuum (fig 7).
When retracting the wet & dry floor tool (8) backwards lift the extension wand (13) towards the
sky slightly to open the rear face of the wet & dry floor tool (8) and allow the debris to enter the
vacuum (fig 8).
3d) Vacuum Safety Float valve (14)
Note: Your Wet & Dry Vacuum is equiped with a Safety float valve (14) located within the Safety float
basket (15). This safety float valve (14) is designed to stop any water from entering the motor head
(4) if the Vacuum tank (10) becomes full of a liquid. This safety float valve (14) will also activate if the
vacuum tips over. Familiarise yourself with figures 9 and/or 10 to identify the position of the safety
float valve (14) in the event is has been activated.
i) Safety float valve in normal operation position (fig 9).
ii) Safety float valve in “activated” position (fig 10).
