SAVE THIS ANUAL
•To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to Vac, use only ST NGER
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 blower for any job except
blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety eyewear. 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.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for
extended time or in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
• Static shocks are common when the
relative humidity of the air is low.
Vacuuming fine 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
humidifier.
•Do not use with a torn Filter or without
the Filter installed except when
vacuuming liquids as described in this
manual. Dry debris ingested by the
impeller may damage the motor or be
exhausted into the air.
• Turn off Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning Filter.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not use with damaged cord, plug or
other parts. f 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 cord, use cord
as handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac
with wet hands.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in
poor condition or too small in wire size
can pose fire 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 16
gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce power
loss, use a 14 gauge extension cord if
25 to 50 ft long and 12 gauge for 50 ft
or longer.
• This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate
grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the
instructions for Servicing Double-
nsulated Wet/Dry Vacs before
servicing.
• Do not put any object into ventilation
openings. Do not vacuum with any
ventilation openings blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair or anything that may
reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of falls, use extra
care when cleaning on stairs.
Observe the following warnings that
appear on the motor housing of your Vac:
WARNING: For your own safety,
read and understand owner’s
manual. Do not run unattended.
Do not pick up hot ashes, coals,
toxic, flammable or other hazardous
materials. Do not use around
explosive liquids or vapors.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock - do not expose to
rain - store indoors.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Vac
has a polarized plug. This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. f the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. f it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
After you plug the power cord into the
outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the
switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the switch actuator
are international "On & Off" symbols:
=OFF =ON
Familiarize yourself with the accessories
included with the vac. Each accessory
may be used in various ways for
vacuuming and blowing debris. Here is a
list of the accessories and their uses.
Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle
for most vacuuming applications.
Extension Wands - These wands can
be connected together and provide
additional length.
Hose - Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides
the means of attaching extension wands
and nozzles.
Vacuuming Dry aterials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position at all times to avoid leaks and
possible damage to vac.
2. When using your vac to pick up fine
dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain
peak vac performance.
NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up
dry material. f you use your vac to pick
up material when the filter is wet, the filter
will clog quickly and be very difficult to
clean.
3. f your filter is wet but you need to use
the vac to pick up dry material, you
must first allow the filter to dry.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid (less than 1 inch in the bottom of
the drum) the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid (more than 1 inch in the bottom
of the drum) it is recommended that the
filter be removed. f the filter is not
removed, it may become saturated and
misting may appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches a
predetermined level, the float
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-flow. You will know that the float
has risen because suction stops 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 filter must be dried to avoid
possible mildew and damage to the
filter.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vacuum, do not run
motor with float in raised position.
A Filter Bag or Cartridge Filter
should be used and positioned
correctly during all vacuuming
operations to avoid debris leaks
and possible damage to the vacuum
motor.
