IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using electric appliances, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:

BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE, READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

•Do not leave the appliance when it is connected to a power source. Unplug it from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

•Do not allow the appliance to be used as a toy. Pay close attention when the appliance is used by or near children.

•Use this appliance ONLY as described in the manual. Use only DEWALT recommended attachments.

•Do not use this appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working correctly, or if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, return it to a service center.

•Do not pull or carry this appliance by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

•Do not unplug this appliance by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

•Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.

•Do not put any objects into the openings of the appliance. Do not use the appliance with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything else that may reduce air flow.

•Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from the openings and moving parts.

•Turn off all controls before unplugging appliance.

•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

•Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where flammable or combustible liquids are present.

•Static shocks are possible in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is low. This is only temporary and does not affect the use of the vacuum. To reduce the frequency of static shocks, add moisture to the air with a console, installed humidifier or use anti-static hose (standard on some models).

•To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty canister after each use.

INSTRUCTIONS

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

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

•Do not use to vacuum combustible explosive materials, such as coal, grain, or other finely divided combustible material.

•Do not use to vacuum hazardous, toxic or carcinogenic materials, such as asbestos or pesticide.

•Never pick up explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, paint thinner, etc.), acids or solvents.

•Do not use vacuum without filters in place, except as described under Wet Pickup Applications.

•Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request and follow any safety information available from your material supplier.

•Do not use vacuum as a step ladder.

•Do not place heavy objects on vacuum.

•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

•If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix W-A or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety goggles. Also use face or dust mask if area operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

•ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

•ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

•NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•compounds in fertilizers,

•compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides,

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not operate this vac in areas with flammable gases, vapors or explosive dust 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, aluminum, and grain or gun powder. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flammable or combustible liquids or hot ashes. Do not use this vac as a sprayer for any flammable or combustible liquid. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials.

The operation of any utility vac can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye injury. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before starting operation.

CAUTION:

To reduce risk of hearing loss, wear ear protectors when using the vac for extended hours or when using it in a noisy area.

The unit is ready for dry vacuuming or blowing. After you plug the power cord into the wall receptacle, turn the unit “ON” by ushingp the switch position with 1 embossing straps is the “ON” position.

DRY PICK-UP

1.The filter must always be in correct position to reduce the risk of leaks and possible damage to vac. Make sure that the filter is completely covering the filter cage. Make sure there are no gaps between the filter and the lid. (See illustration). It is very important to assemble the filter to the cage without allowing any possible leaks or tears. Any leaks will allow the picked up debris to be blown out of the blowing port and back into the surrounding environment.

2.When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary to empty the dust tank and clean or replace 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. If the filter gets wet, replace it before continuing to do dry pickups.

INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE FILTER

The cartridge filter can be used for wet or dry pick, installation is the same for both.

1.With the power head in an upside down position, slide the cartridge filter down over the lid cage, push the filter seals against the power head.

2.Turn the knob on filter retainer clockwise to tighten, locking the filter into place.

3.To remove the filter for cleaning, turn the filter knob counter clockwise till feel the tactile and auditory cue, and make sure the knob arrow align with the "Unlock" icon on the filter cap, then slide the cartridge filter off the lid cage.

4.To clean the cartridge filter, shake or brush off excess dirt or rinse (from the inside of the filter) with water, dry completely (approximately 24 hours) and re-install.

Lock

NOTE

If the filter has been used for wet pick-up, it must be cleaned and dried before using for dry pick-up.

INSTALLING THE DISPOSABLE FILTER BAG

1.Slide the cardboard collar opening firmly onto the vacuum port deflector until it stops against the deflector wall.

2.Position the bag so that it is distributed around the inside of the tank.

3.Replace and secure the power head onto the tank.
