POWER SUPPLY- WARNING: YOUR VACUUM MUST BE
CONNECTED TO A 120V, MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT.
FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY
FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized two-prong 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 into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not alter or change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for three wire grounded power supply
and grounded power cords.
120V OPERATION- As received from the factory, your vacuum is ready
to run for 120V operation. This vacuum is intended for use on a circuit
that has an outlet and a plug which looks like the one illustrated in Fig.1.
EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your
tool which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is
rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. If you are using the
tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by
“SJW or SJTW” on the jacket).
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the
amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size is
determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the
gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does
not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every
cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart in Fig.2 to determine
what AWG rating is required for your situation.

UNPACKING, ASSEMBLING & OPERATING
YOUR VACUUM
ATTENTION! The vacuum accessories are packed inside the vacuum tank.
UNPACKING YOUR VACUUM
Remove the entire contents of the carton, please note that the accessories are packed inside
the vacuum tank. To access these accessories, undo latches (A) Fig.3, remove the tank
cover/motor assembly (B) and then remove the accessories inside the tank.
WARNING! DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER CORD TO THE POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE
FOLLOWING ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN DONE.
INSTALLING THE CORRECT FILTER FOR THE APPLICATION
Before reinstalling the cover/motor assembly on, it is important to determine the desired
cleaning application, wet or dry vacuuming. Each cleaning application requires different filters.
When vacuuming dry materials, to ensure proper filtration, the foam filter should be used
when vacuuming coarse materials with low dust for maximum air flow. The re-usable filter can
and should be used together with the foam filter when vacuuming coarse and dusty materials.
Place the cover/motor assembly upside down, slide the foam filter (A) Fig.4 over the cage (B).
Then slide the re-usable filter over the foam filter.
When vacuuming wet materials, to ensure proper filtration, the foam filter must be installed.
Place the cover/motor assembly upside down, slide the foam filter (A) Fig.4 over the cage (B).
Reposition and secure the cover/motor assembly to the tank with both latches, Fig.5.
HOSE AND ACCESSORY ASSEMBLY
1) Insert one end of the hose (A) Fig.6 into the vacuum inlet (front of the vacuum) and twist
slightly to tighten into place.
2) Attach either the gulper tool (B) Fig.6, round brush or the crevice tool to the other end of the
hose (C).
DRY VACUUMING OPERATIONAL STEPS
Before vacuuming dry materials, it is important that you have read and understood the
safety rules in this manual.
1) Unplug the power cord from the power source.
2) Remove the cover/motor assembly by undoing the 2 side latches and install a clean and dry
foam filter. If the vacuuming operation is extremely dusty, install the re-usable filter over the
foam filter. If it is necessary to vacuum dry materials and you have just finished vacuuming
wet materials, the foam filter must be completely dried or else the foam filter will clog up
quickly and it will be difficult to clean. The foam filter can be dried quickly by running the
vacuum for 5-10 minutes without the hose installed.
3) Reposition and secure the cover/motor assembly to the tank using the 2 side latches.
4) Insert the hose into the inlet on the front of the vacuum and twist slightly to tighten.
5) Attach either the gulper tool, round brush or the crevice tool to the other end of the hose.
