IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety is a combination of using common
sense, staying alert and knowing how your
Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner (“Vac”) works.
Safety Signal Words
DANGER: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
When using your Vac, always follow basic
safety precautions including the following:
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
• Read and understand this manual and
all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before
operating.
• Use only as described in this manual.
• 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 the exhaust or abnormal
motor noises. Immediately stop using
Vac if you notice any of these signs.
• Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in
use and before servicing.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite
ammable fumes or dust. To reduce the
risk of re or explosion, do not use near
combustible liquids, gases or dusts,
such as petrol or other fuels, lighter uid,
cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas,
coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust,
aluminium dust or gunpowder.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches
or hot ashes.
• Do not vacuum plasterboard or plaster
dust, cold replace ash or other ne
dusts with the standard lter. These may
pass through the lter and be exhausted
back into the air. Use a ne dust lter
instead.
• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic
fumes, do not vacuum or use near toxic
or hazardous materials.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not expose the Vac to rain or allow liquid
to enter motor compartment. Store the
Vac indoors.
• This vacuum cleaner is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
use of the vacuum cleaner by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Do not allow Vac to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children.
• Do not use with a torn lter or without
the lter installed except when
vacuuming liquids as described in this
manual. Dry debris ingested by the

3
impeller may damage the motor or be
exhausted into the air.
• Turn off the Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental start-up, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning the lter.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not use with a 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 the cord, do
not use cord as a handle, close a door
on cord, or pull the cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run the Vac
over the cord. Keep the cord away from
heated surfaces.
• Do not handle the plug, switch or the
Vac with wet hands.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor
condition or that have too small a wire
size can pose re and shock hazards.
To reduce the risk of these hazards,
be sure the cord is in good condition
and that liquid does not contact the
connection. Do not use an extension
cord with conductors smaller than
1.3 mm2. To reduce power loss, do not
use an extension cord with conductors
smaller than 2.1 mm2if the length is
more than 30 m (100 ft).
• This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate
earthing system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions
for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry
Vacs before servicing.
• Do not insert any object into the
ventilation openings. Do not vacuum
with any ventilation openings blocked;
keep free of dust, lint, hair or anything
that may reduce air ow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers 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 back injury or falls,
do not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid
or debris. Partially empty the Vac by
scooping debris or draining liquid to
make it comfortable to lift.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury
or damage to Vac, use only Ridgid-
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 the blower for any job
except blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety goggles. 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.
Observe the following warnings that appear
on the motor housing of your Vac:
DOUBLE INSULATED EARTHING
NOT REQUIRED. WHEN
SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for an
extended time or in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask.
• Static shocks are common when the
relative humidity of the air is low.
Vacuuming ne 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 humidier.
WARNING: For your own safety,
read and understand the owner’s
manual. Do not run unattended. Do
not pick up hot ashes, coals, toxic,
inflammable or other hazardous
materials. Do not use around
explosive liquids or vapour.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock – do not expose to rain
– store indoors.

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 the 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.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne inflammables. Do not operate
Vac near inflammable liquids or in areas with inflammable gases, fumes
or explosive/airborne dust. Inflammable liquids, gases and fumes include:
lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, petrol, alcohol and
aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminium, grain
and gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, inflammable liquids or hot ashes.
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.
• Unplug Vac before servicing. 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 authorised service centre 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.
= OFF = ON

Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The lter must always be in the correct
position at all times to avoid leaks and
possible damage to Vac.
2. If using your Vac to pick up very ne
dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the lter
at more frequent intervals to maintain
peak Vac performance.
NOTE: A dry lter must be used to pick up
dry material. If you use your Vac to pick
up dust when the lter is wet, the lter will
clog quickly and be very difcult to clean.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid (less than 5-10 cm (2-4 in.) of
liquid in the bottom of the drum) the
lter may be left in place.
2. When picking up larger amounts of
liquid (more than 10 cm (4 in.) of
liquid in the bottom of the drum) we
recommend removing the lter. If the
lter 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 oat
mechanism will rise automatically to
cut off air-ow. You will know that the
oat has risen because Vac airow will
cease and the motor noise will become
higher in pitch, due to increased motor
speed. When this happens, turn off the
Vac, unplug the power cord and empty
the drum.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the lter must be dried to avoid possible
mildew and damage to the lter.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run the Vac
with oat in raised position.
Emptying the Drum
1. The Vac comes equipped with a drain
for easy emptying of liquids. Simply
unscrew the drain cap and lift the
opposite side slightly to empty the
drum.
2. Another option is to remove the lid. Pull
the exible latches outwards on each
side of the lid to release the lid from the
drum.
3. While holding the latches out, lift the top
assembly up and away from the drum.
4. Lay top assembly upside down on a
clean area while emptying the drum or
changing the lter.
5. Dump the drum contents into the proper
waste disposal container.
Moving the Wet/Dry Vac
Should it become necessary to pick the
Vac up to move it, the handles on the
sides of the dust drum are used to lift. To
manœuvre the Vac, the pull handle above
the inlet should be used.
7
Operation (continued)
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of injury from accidental starting,
unplug the power cord before
emptying the drum.
WARNING: 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.

8
Blowing Feature
Your Wet/Dry Vac features “Full Blowing”.
It can blow sawdust and other debris.
Follow the steps below to use your Vac as
a blower.
1. Locate the blowing port of your Wet/Dry
Vac.
2. Insert locking end of hose into the
blowing port of the Vac.
3. (Optional) Attach extension wand to
swivel end of hose, then place a car
nozzle on the wand.
4. Turn Vac on and you are ready to use
your Vac as a blower.
Operation (continued)
WARNING: Always wear safety
goggles before using as a blower.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury to bystanders, keep them clear
of blowing debris.
CAUTION: Wear a dust mask if
blowing creates dust which might be
inhaled.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the Vac/Blower for
extended time or in a noisy area. Swivel End

Removal and Installation
of the Qwik Lock™ Filter
Filter Removal:
1. Hold the lter tabs of the Qwik Lock™
lter in each hand.
2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock™
stud, which protrudes through the
integrated lter plate, lift up the lter
tabs while pushing down on the stud.
3. This action will cause the lter to
release from the lter cage. Slide the
lter off cage.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the
blower wheel and motor, always reinstall
the lter before using the Vac for dry
material pickup.
Filter Installation:
1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ lter
over the lter cage and press down on
the outside edge of the lter until the
rubber gasket on the bottom of the lter
seats securely around the base of the
lter cage and against the lid.
2. Align the small centre hole in the top
of the lter over the Qwik Lock™ stud
on the lter cage. Press rmly on top of
the lter near the stud to allow the lter
to snap over the ball on the end of the
stud. The lter is now attached.
NOTE: Failure to properly seat the bottom
gasket could result in debris by-passing
the lter.

Filter Cleaning
Your lter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
Be sure to dry the lter before storing or
picking up dry debris.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
1. Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the
lter from the Vac. Slap your hand on
top of the lid while the Vac is turned off.
2. For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the lter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
3. After lter removal from Vac, remove
the dry debris by gently tapping the
lter against the inside wall of the dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of a dry lter
containing ne dust (no debris), run
water through it as described under
“Cleaning A Wet Filter”.
Cleaning A Wet Filter
After lter has been removed, run water
through the lter from a hose or tap. Take
care that water pressure from the hose is
not strong enough to damage the lter.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
lter for tears or small holes. Do not use a
lter 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.
Allow the lter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
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 detergent.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm water
and mild detergent.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e.; waste water pick-up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 4 l of water and 5 ml chlorine
bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully agitating it 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 has gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
11
Maintenance (continued)

Cord Maintenance
When vacuuming is complete, unplug the
cord and wrap it around the motor cover.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or service
agent or by similarly qualied personnel to
reduce the risk of accident.
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.
Casters
If your casters are noisy, you may put
a drop of oil on the roller shaft to make
them quieter.

• 등 부상 또는 낙상 위험을 줄이기 위해,
액체나 부스러기로 가득 찬 무거운 Vac
를 들어올리지 마십시오. 부스러기를
퍼내거나 액체를 빼내어 Vac를 일부
비워서 쉽게 들어올릴 수 있게 하십시오.
• 신체 부상 또는 Vac 파손 위험을 줄이기
위해, Ridgid에서 권장하는 액세서리만
사용하십시오.
• 송풍기로 사용하는 경우:
- 배출되는 공기가 작업 부위만
향하도록 하십시오.
- 공기를 주변 사람을 향해 배출하지
마십시오.
- 송풍 시에 어린이가 가까이 오지 않게
하십시오.
- 송풍기를 분진이나 부스러기를 부는
작업에만 사용하십시오.
- 분사기로 사용하지 마십시오.
• 눈 부상 위험을 줄이기 위해 보안경을
착용하십시오. 다용도 Vac 또는 송풍기를
작동시키면 바람에 날린 이물질이 눈에
들어가서 눈을 심하게 다칠 수 있습니다.
주의:
• 청각 손상 위험을 줄이기 위해, 오랜
시간 동안 사용하거나 시끄러운
장소에서 사용할 때는 청각 보호 장치를
착용하십시오.
• 작동 시에 먼지가 많이 발생하는 경우
방진 마스크를 착용하십시오.
• 대기의 상대 습도가 낮으면 정전기
충격이 흔히 발생합니다.Vac로 미세한
부스러기를 청소하면 호스나 Vac에
정전하가 축적될 수 있습니다. 가정에서,
또는 이 Vac를 사용할 때 정전기
충격 발생 빈도를 줄이려면 가습기를
사용하여 대기 습도를 높이십시오.
• 본 설명서의 설명에 따라 액체를 Vac
로 청소하는 경우를 제외하고, 필터가
찢어졌거나 설치되지 않은 경우
사용하지 마십시오. 마른 부스러기가
임펠러에 흡입되면 모터가 손상되거나
공기로 배출될 수 있습니다.
• 전원을 분리하기 전에 Vac를 끄십시오.
• 실수로 청소기를 시작하여 다칠 수
있는 위험을 줄이기 위해, 필터를
교체 또는 청소하기 전에 전기 코드를
뽑으십시오.
• 코드를 당겨서 뽑지 마십시오. 코드가
아닌 플러그를 잡고 뽑으십시오.
• 코드 또는 플러그나 기타 부분이
손상된 상태로 사용하지 마십시오.
Vac가 올바로 작동하지 않거나,
손상되거나, 부품이 없거나, Vac를
떨어트리거나, 실외에 방치했거나,
물에 빠트린 경우 고객 서비스 센터에
문의하십시오.
• 코드를 잡아 당기거나, 잡고
운반하거나, 코드가 닫은 문에 끼거나
날카로운 가장자리나 모서리에 꺾이지
않도록 하십시오. 코드가 Vac에
깔리지 않게 하십시오. 코드를 뜨거운
표면에서 멀리 떨어트리십시오.
• 플러그, 스위치 또는 Vac를 젖은
손으로 다루지 마십시오.
• 실외용으로 승인된 연장 코드만
사용하십시오. 상태가 좋지 않거나
전선 굵기가 너무 얇은 연장 코드는
화재 및 감전 위험을 초래할 수
있습니다.
이런 위험을 줄이기 위해, 코드의
상태가 양호한지 확인하고 액체가 연결
부위에 닿지 않도록 하십시오. 도선이
1.3mm2(16 AWG)보다 얇은 연장
코드를 사용하지 마십시오. 전원이
차단되는 경우를 줄이기 위해, 연장
코드의 길이가 30m(100ft)보다 긴 경우
도선 굵기가 2.1mm2(14 AWG)보다
얇은 코드를 사용하지 마십시오.
• 이 습식/건식 Vac는 이중 절연되어
있어 별도의 접지가 불필요합니다.
동일한 교체 부품만 사용하십시오.
