WARNING
The foam fi lter must be removed after wet
vacuuming, and a cartridge fi lter must be installed
before dry vacuuming again.
IMPORTANT!
When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, do not
immerse the nozzle completely in the liquid; leave a gap
at the tip of the nozzle opening to allow air infl ow.
The machine is fi tted with a fl oat valve that stops the
suction action when the container reaches its maximum
capacity. You will notice an increase in motor speed.
When this happens, turn off the machine, disconnect
from power supply, and drain the liquid into a suitable
receptacle or drain. To continue vacuuming, refi t the
container with the drain cap. After wet vacuuming, turn
the machine off and remove plug from power supply.
Empty the container, clean and dry the inside and
outside before storage.
BLOWER OPERATION
This Wet/Dry Vac has blowing capabilities.
To use the blower feature follow the instructions listed.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles before using blower.
Keep bystanders clear from blowing debris.
Wear a dust mask if blowing creates dust that might

1. Insert the large end of the hose into the blower
connection in the top of the motor housing (Fig. 18).
2. Fit the crevice tool to the vacuum hose (Fig. 19).
3. Ensure the power switch is turned off and plug in the
power supply.
4. Turn the motor on by fl ipping the switch to the “I”
