Operation (continued)
WARNING: The operation of any
!
utility vac can result in foreign
objects being blown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety
eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before
starting operation. Safety eyewear
are available at many local retail
stores.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of
!
hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the vac for extended
hours or when using it in a noisy
area.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized 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 in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If 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. "O" is the
symbol for "OFF" and "l" is the symbol for
"ON".
= OFF
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.
Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup on
smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and dry
the surface in one stroke.
Car Nozzle - Dry pickup nozzle for car
interiors and most upholstery cleaning.

Extension Wands - These wands can be
connected together and provides
additional length for more reach.
Hose - Provides transfer of vacuum or
blowing capability to work site. Provides
the means of attaching extension wands
and nozzles.
Crevice Tool - Use to pick up debris in
hard to reach locations.
Muffler/Diffuser - Use to disperse
exhaust air stream while reducing noise.
Insert into blowing port.

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to vac.
2. Your Wet/Dry Vac comes with the
VF5000 Filter installed. When using
your vac to pick up very 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. If you use your vac to pick
up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use
the vac to pick up dry material, you can
quickly dry the filter by running the vac
without hose attached for about
10 minutes. The clean air rushing
= ON
through the vac will help dry the filter.

Vacuuming Liquids

IMPORTANT:

1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid the filter may be left in place.
2. When picking up large amounts of
liquid we recommend that the filter be
removed. If the filter is not removed, it
will become saturated and misting may
appear in the exhaust.
3. After using the vac to pick up liquids, the
filter must be dried to reduce the risk of
possible mildew and damage to the filter.
