IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using this 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 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 exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if you notice these signs.

• Do not leave Vac when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

• Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not use near combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.

• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• To avoid the risk of self-ignition of drum debris, empty drum after each use. Combustible materials, such as rags or saw dust containing stain or urethane, can be sources of such overheating.

• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with standard filter. These may pass through the filter and be exhausted back into the air. Use a fine dust filter instead.

• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors, do not vacuum or use near toxic or hazardous materials.

• This Wet/Dry Vac 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 appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

• 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. 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 at 1-888-331-4569.

• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac with wet hands.

• 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.

• 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 1,3 mm2 (16 AWG) in size.

• This Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry Vacs.

• 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.

• To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid or debris. Partially empty by scooping debris or draining liquid.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to Vac, use only CRAFTSMAN 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.

• To reduce the risk of being struck by, or pulled down by, a rolling Vac, block the casters when using on any uneven or sloped surface.

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 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.

Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of your Vac:

DOUBLE INSULATED – GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

WARNING:

• For your own safety, read and understand Instruction Manual.
• Do not run unattended.
• Do not pick up hot ashes, coals, flammable, combustible / self-igniting, toxic, 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.

FREE WARNING LABEL REPLACEMENT: If your warning labels become illegible or are missing, call 1-888-331-4569 for a free replacement.

OPERATION

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vacuum:

• Do not leave Vacuum running while unattended – you may fail to notice important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris exiting the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vacuum if you notice these signs.
• Do not leave Vacuum plugged in when not in use.
• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Do not operate Vacuum near flammable liquids or in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or explosive / airborne dust. Flammable liquids, gases, and vapors include: lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol, and aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminum, grain, and gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
• Do not leave sawdust or rags with stain or polyurethane residue inside Vac. Empty drum after picking up these potentially self-heating materials.

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 Vacuum with wet hands.
• Unplug Vacuum before servicing. If your Vacuum is not working as it should, has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, call customer service at 1-888-331-4569.
• 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.

CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using the Vacuum for an extended time or in a noisy area.

Polarized Plug (Fig. J)

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Vacuum has a Polarized Plug (one blade is wider than the other except 230 volt models). 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.

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The Filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to the Vacuum.
2. When using your Vacuum to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the Dust Drum and clean the Filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak Vacuum performance. Qwik Lock™ Filter plus a Filter Bag is recommended for improved Fine Dust Vac performance.

NOTE: A dry Filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you use your Vacuum 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 Vacuum to pick up dry material, you must first allow the Filter to dry.

Vacuuming Liquids

WARNING:
Do not operate without filter cage and float, as they prevent liquid from entering the impeller and damaging the motor. For dry material pick-up, do not operate without the filter in place to reduce the risk of damage to the motor.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not vacuum flammable or combustible liquids, gases or dust.

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 Vacuum to pick up liquids, the Filter must be dried to reduce the risk of possible mildew and damage to the Filter.
4. When the liquid in the Dust Drum reaches a predetermined level, the Float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off air-flow. When this happens, turn OFF the Vacuum, unplug the Power Cord, and empty the Dust Drum. You will know that the Float has risen because Vacuum airflow ceases and the Motor noise will become higher in pitch, due to increased Motor Speed.

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Vac, do not run Motor with Float in raised position.

Emptying the Dust Drum (Fig. K & Fig. L)

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before 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 Dust Drum.

2. Drain
3. Drain Cap

2. Another Option is to Remove the Powerhead Assembly: Rotate the Dust Drum Latches out ward so that the Latches unclamp from the Powerhead Assembly.
3. Rotate the Dust Drum Latches away from the Powerhead Assembly.
4. Lift the Powerhead Assembly up and away from the Dust Drum.
5. Lay Powerhead Assembly upside down on a clean area while emptying the Dust Drum.
6. Dump the Dust Drum contents into the proper waste disposal container.
7. Inspect the Filter per the “Removal and Installation of Qwik Lock Filter” Section of this Manual.
8. Reassemble the Powerhead Assembly to the Dust Drum.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop enough contents out to make the Vac light enough to lift comfortably.

Blowing Feature (Fig. N)

Your Wet/Dry Vacuum features “Full Blowing”. It can blow sawdust and other debris. Follow the steps below to use your Vacuum as a Blower.

1. Locate the Blowing Port of your Wet/Dry Vacuum.
2. Insert the larger end of the Hose into the Blowing Port of the Vacuum.
3. (Optional) Attach the Extension Wand to the swivel end of the Hose.
4. Turn the Vacuum ON and you are ready to use your Vacuum as a Blower.

  WARNING:
Always wear safety eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before using as a blower.

  WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders, keep them clear of blowing debris.

MAINTENANCE

Filter

  WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter.

NOTE: This Filter is made of high quality paper designed to stop very small particles of dust. The Filter can be used for dry pick up or small amounts of liquid. Handle the Filter carefully when removing to install or clean. Creases in the Filter pleats may occur from installation but creases will not affect the performance of the Filter.

Removal and Installation of the Qwik Lock™ Filter (Fig. O)

IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage to the Blower Wheel and Motor, always reinstall the Filter before using the Vac for dry material pickup.

Filter Removal

1. Hold the Filter Tabs of the Qwik Lock™ Filter in each hand.
2. With one thumb on the Qwik Lock™ Stud, which protrudes through the integrated Filter Plate, lift up on the Filter Tabs while pushing down on the Stud.
3. This action will cause the Filter to release from the Filter Cage. Slide Filter off Cage.

  WARNING:
Do not operate without a filter cage and float, as they prevent liquid from entering the impeller and damaging the motor.

Filter Installation

1. Carefully slide the Qwik Lock™ Filter over the Filter Cage and press down on the outside edge of the Filter until the Rubber Gasket on the bottom of the Filter seats securely around the base of the Filter Cage and against the Powerhead Assembly.
2. Align the small Center Hole in the top of the Filter over the Qwik Lock™ Stud on the Filter Cage. Press firmly on top of the Filter near the Stud to allow the Filter to snap over the Ball on the end of the Stud. The Filter is now attached.

NOTE: Failure to properly seat the bottom Gasket could result in debris bypassing the Filter.

Filter Cleaning

Your Filter should be cleaned often to maintain peak Vacuum performance.

Cleaning A Dry Filter

1. Some removal of dry debris can be accomplished without removing the Filter from the Vacuum. Slap your hand on top of the Powerhead Assembly while the Vacuum is turned OFF.
2. For best cleaning results due to accumulated dust, clean the Filter in an open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done outdoors and not in the living quarters.
3. After Filter removal from Vacuum, remove the dry debris by gently tapping Filter against the inside wall of your Dust Drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of dry Filter with fine dust (no debris), run water through it as described under “Cleaning A Wet Filter”.

Cleaning A Wet Filter

After Filter is removed, run water through the Filter from a hose or spigot. Take care that water pressure from the hose is not strong enough to damage Filter.

IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the Filter for tears or small holes. Tears and holes in the Filter can cause debris and dust to be blown from the Vacuum. Do not use a Filter with holes or tears. Replace immediately.

Allow the Filter to dry before reinstalling and storing the Vacuum or picking up dry debris.

Cleaning and Disinfecting the Wet/Dry Vac

To keep your Wet/Dry Vacuum looking its best, clean the outside with a cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap.

To clean the Drum:

1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash Drum thoroughly with warm water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.

Before prolonged storage or as needed (i.e., waste water pick up) the Dust Drum should be disinfected.

To disinfect the Dust Drum:

1. Pour 1 Gallon (4 L) of water and 1 Teaspoon (5 mL) chlorine bleach into the Dust Drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes, carefully swishing every few minutes, making sure to wet all inside surfaces of the Dust Drum.
3. Empty Dust Drum after 20 minutes. Rinse with water until bleach smell is gone. Allow Dust Drum to dry completely before sealing the Motor on the Dust Drum.

Casters

If your Casters are noisy, you may put a drop of oil on the Roller Shaft to make them quieter.

Storage

Before storing your Vacuum, the Dust Drum should be emptied and cleaned. The Power Cord should be wrapped around the Carry Handle and the Hose should be stored as described in this manual. Accessories should be kept in the same area as the Vacuum so they can be readily available. The Vacuum should be stored indoors.

WARNING:
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, any other maintenance, repairs and adjustments should be performed by Authorized Service Centers, always using CRAFTSMAN replacement parts.
