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.

INSTALLING THE CORRECT FILTER AND/OR DUST BAG 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
and/or dust bag.
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 or only install the cartridge filter instead of both
other filters when vacuuming coarse and dusty materials. Place the cover/motor assembly
upside down, slide the foam filter (A) Fig.6 or the cartridge filter over the cage (B). If you
installed the foam filter, then slide the re-usable filter over the foam filter. ow the dust bag (C)
must be installed to the inner portion of the inlet. Fit the dust bag flange over the inner inlet,
taking care not to damage the dust bag.
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.6 over the cage (B).
Reposition and secure the cover/motor assembly to the tank with both cover latches.
HOSE, WANDS AND ACCESSORY ASSE BLY
1) Attach the end of the hose (A) Fig.7 to the vacuum inlet (front of the vacuum) and secure the
hose by turning clockwise.
2) Assemble the 2 extension wands together and then attach one end of the extension wand

OPERATION
DRY VACUU ING 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 and install a clean and dry foam filter. If the vacuuming
operation is extremely dusty, install the re-usable filter over the foam filter or only install the
cartridge filter (A) Fig.9 instead of both other filters. Secure cartridge filter with lock plate (B).
If it is necessary to vacuum dry materials and you have just finished vacuuming wet
materials, the foam or cartridge filter must be completely dried or else they will clog up quickly
and will be difficult to clean. The foam or cartridge filter can be dried quickly by running the
vacuum for 5-10 minutes without the hose installed.
3) Install the disposable dust bag on the inside of the tank to the inner portion of the inlet. Fit the
dust bag flange over the inner inlet, taking care not to damage the dust bag.
4) Reposition and secure the cover/motor assembly to the tank using the 2 side mounted cover
latches.
5) Attach the hose to the inlet on the front of the vacuum.
6) Assemble the 2 extension wands together and then attach one end of the extension wand
assembly to the hose.
7) Attach either the floor sweep or the crevice tool to the other end of the extension wand.
8) Plug the power cord to a power source.
9) Start the vacuum by pushing the On/Off switch to the On position as shown in Fig.10. The On
position is indicated by the international symbol “I” on the switch.
10) Once the vacuuming operation is finished, push the switch to the Off position indicated by
the international symbol “O” on the switch and unplug the power cord from the power source.
11) Remove the cover/motor assembly and lay it aside, being careful not to damage the filters
and dump the tank contents into a suitable waste disposal container. Airborn dust will be
produced when cleaning, wear dust mask!
Warning!
ever use the disposable dust bag, cartridge and re-usable filters for vacuuming wet materials.
When vacuuming fine dust, it will be necessary to clean the foam, re-usable and cartridge filters
at more frequent intervals.
WET VACUU ING OPERATIONAL STEPS
Before vacuuming wet 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 and install a clean and dry foam filter. If wet vacuuming
under normal conditions (small amounts of liquid pick-up) or when vacuuming large amounts
of liquid, only install the foam filter, see Fig.11. The dust bag can not be used for wet
vacuuming. Make sure the inside of the tank is clean.
3) Reposition and secure the cover/motor assembly to the tank.
4) Attach the hose to the inlet on the front of the vacuum.
5) Assemble the 2 extension wands together and then attach one end of the extension wand
assembly to the hose.
6) Attach either the floor sweep or the crevice tool to the other end of the extension wand
assembly. For wet applications, turn the brush/squeegee assembly around so the squeegee
is facing outwards, this can be done by pressing the 2 snap points at each end of the floor
sweep, the assembly will pop out, flip the assembly around and snap it back into place.
7) Plug the power cord to a power source.
8) Start the vacuum by pushing the On/Off waterproof switch to the On position as shown in
Fig.12. The On position is indicated by the international symbol “I” on the switch.
9) When vacuuming large amounts of liquid, do not completely immerse the nozzle accessory
in the liquid, leave a gap at the top of the nozzle accessory opening to allow air inflow.
10) Once the vacuuming operation is finished, push the switch to the Off position indicated by
the international symbol “O” on the switch and unplug the power cord from the power source.
Warning!
ever use the disposable dust bag, cartridge and re-usable filters for vacuuming wet materials.
The foam filter should be cleaned after each wet vacuuming operation.
Should it become necessary to pick up the vacuum to move it, DO OT pick up the vacuum by
the top handle unless the tank is empty. Do not pull the vacuum by the hose, this may tip the
vacuum over if the wheels are obstructed in any way.
