DOUBLE INSULATION INSTRUCTIONS

This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical replacements parts. Read the instructions for Servicing  Double-Insulated Wet/Dry Vac before servicing. Use this Wet/Dry Vac as described in this manual. Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of  your Wet/Dry Vac.
DOUBLE INSULATED – GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED – WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

CAUTION:
Do not vacuum drywall dust or fireplace soot or ash with standard Wet/Dry filter. This is very fine dust which will not be captured by the filter and may cause damage to  motor. When vacuuming fine dust use a fine dust filter (sold separately).

WARNING:
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM WITH A DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM, TWO SYSTEMS OF INSULATION ARE PROVIDED INSTEAD OF GROUNDING. NO GROUNDING MEANS IS PROVIDED ON A DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE, NOR SHOULD A MEANS  FOR GROUNDING BE ADDED.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Vacmaster VWM510 Dry and Wet Vacuum Cleaner - ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN.
MAKE SURE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE WET/DRY VAC.

UNPACKING YOUR WET/DRY VACUUM & GENERAL ASSEMBLY

  1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig. 1)

  2. Undo the latches. (fig. 2)

  3. Lift the power head off the collection tank. (fig. 3)

  4. Remove the contents from inside the collection tank; make sure you have all contents as listed on page 6. (fig. 4)

  5. Replace the power head to the collection tank and insert the noise diffuser into the blower port. (fig. 5)
    MOUNTING RACK AND STORAGE ASSEMBLY IMPORTANT!
    • Do not mount the rack over 5 feet from the floor.
    • Do not screw the rack to drywall only. Secure the screws to a stud.
    • Do not hang from or sit on the mounting rack
    • Do not exceed the 40 pound maximum weight limit.

  6. Insert the hose storage rod into the two holes located on the top of the mounting rack. Make sure the bend of the rod is directed away from the wall. (fig. 6)

  7. Select a location on a wall stud that is not more than 20 feet away from an electrical outlet.

  8. Align the three screw holes so that they are over a stud. Make sure the rack is level and mark the hole locations. Make a 1/8-inch diameter pilot hole in each marked  location. Secure the mounting rack to the wall stud with the three screws provided. (fig. 7)

MOUNTING THE VACUUM ONTO THE RACK

  1. Measure the distance from the top screw hole of the mounting rack to the closest electrical outlet and add 12 inches. This is the amount of cord needed; wind the excess  power cord around the cord wrap area located on the rear of the vacuum. (fig. 8)
  2. Make sure the cord is not wrapped around the vac hanging hook (A). (fig. 9)
  3. Mount the vacuum onto the mounting rack by aligning the vac hanging hook (A) with slot (B) on the mounting rack and slide downward until it locks. When trying to  mount vac onto the rack , please hold the plug and make sure the cable is not hanging between rack and the back of the vac. (fig. 10)
  4. Attach the accessory storage caddy on either side of the vac onto the hooks provided. (fig.11)
  5. Your vacuum comes ready for dry vacuum cleaning. For installation instructions, see page 13. (fig. 12 & 13)
  6. For wet vacuum cleaning, install the supplied foam wet filter. (fig. 14) For installation instructions, see page 13.
  7. Place the power head back on the collection tank, and secure into place using the 2 side latches. (fig. 15 & 16)
  8.  Insert the locking end of the hose into the vacuum port on the collection tank and lock into place. (fig. 17)
  9. Push the required attachment onto the free end of the hose. (fig. 18)

POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 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. Double insulation  eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

DISMOUNTING THE VACUUM FROM THE RACK

VACUUM

LIQUID VACUUMING
WARNING: BE SURE TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND APPLY, INFORMATION ENTITLED ‘SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS’. DO NOT VACUUM  IN AREAS WITH FLAMMABLE GASES, VAPORS, OR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS IN THE AIR. FLAMMABLE GASES OR VAPORS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT  LIMITED TO: LIGHTER FLUID, SOLVENT TYPE CLEANERS, OIL-BASED PAINTS, GASOLINE, ALCOHOL, OR AEROSOL SPRAYS. EXPLOSIVE DUSTS  INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: COAL, MAGNESIUM, GRAIN, OR GUN POWDER. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HEALTH HAZARDS FROM  VAPORS OR DUST, DO NOT VACUUM TOXIC MATERIALS.
WARNING: DO NOT PLUG POWER CORD INTO POWER OUTLET. MAKE SURE PLUG IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTERS.

IMPORTANT! When vacuuming large quantities of liquids, we recommend that you remove the vacuum from the mounting rack and put it on the floor. The vacuum can  be heavy when full of liquids and may be difficult to remove from the rack.

  1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. Verify that the collection tank is clean and free of dust and dirt. (fig. 1)

  2. Remove cartridge filter, then carefully install the foam wet filter over the filter cage and place the power head back on the collection tank. (fig. 2) For filter installation  instructions, see page 13.
    DO NOT USE THE CARTRIDGE FILTER FOR LIQUID VACUUMING.
    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: WET VACUUMING

  3. Fit the desired attachment to the vacuum hose. (fig. 3)

  4. Verify that the switch is in the ‘O’ OFF position before plugging the power cord into the outlet. (fig. 4)

  5. For large amounts of liquid vacuuming, it is recommended to place the vacuum on the floor.
    Turn the motor on by flipping the switch on the power head to the ‘I’ ON position or flip the switch to the Remote Control Position and use the ‘I’ ON button on the remote control. (fig. 5 & 6)

CAUTION: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE REMOTE CONTROL IN LIQUID. 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 inflow. The machine is fitted with a float valve that stops the suction action when the collection tank 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. After wet vacuuming, turn the machine off and remove plug from power supply. Empty the collection tank, clean, and dry the inside and outside before storage. REMEMBER! The foam wet filter must be removed after wet vacuuming, and a cartridge filter must be installed before dry vacuuming again.

BLOWER OPERATION

Vacmaster VWM510 Dry and Wet Vacuum Cleaner - BLOWER

  1. Verify that the power cord is disconnected from the outlet. (fig. 1)
  2. Disconnect the hose from the vacuum. (fig. 2)
  3. Remove the vacuum from the mounting rack.
  4. Undo the latches and remove the power head from the collection tank. (fig. 3)

  7. Check the hose, attachments, and power cord to verify that they have not been damaged.
  8. Place power head on collection tank and secure latches.

IMPORTANT! Clean or change the filter regularly for best performance. ALWAYS USE DUST FILTER FOR DRY VACUUMING. If the machine is used without the dust filter, the motor will burn out and the warranty will be voided. Always keep spare dust filters on hand.
NOTICE! The filters included are made of high quality materials designed to stop small dust particles. The dust filter should be used for dry pick-up only. A dry dust filter is  necessary to pick up dust. If the dust filter is wet, it will clog quickly and be difficult to clean. Handle the filter carefully when removing it for cleaning or replacing. Check the  filters for tears or small holes. A small hole can let dust pass through and out of the filter. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it; replace it immediately.
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE POWER HEAD FROM COLLECTION TANK.
