GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an
equipment - grounding conductor and

Plug

grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance.

NOTE: Static shocks are common 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.

ASSEMBLY

To install the legs and accessory tray, undo the clips holding the intermediate cover in place and set the cover and lid assembly
aside. Turn tank upside down. Front legs are on either side of the drain port opening. These front legs do not have the small hooks
on either side. The back legs do have the hooks. These hooks are for the hose to rest on when in storage.

Align legs with openings provided on bottom of the canister and slide into place. The holes will only align in proper position
for front and back legs. Insert black support screw into hole and tighten screw with a Phillips screwdriver.

Turn cleaner tank right side up.

Attach Accessory Tray

Align the three slots on the edge of the accessory tray with the three guides on the rear side of
the tank and press the accessory tray toward the tank as you push the tray down. The two lock­ing tabs will slide under the rim of the tank and catch. By pushing the tray down and toward
the tank it will lock into place.

Place intermediate cover and lid assembly right side up and set on top of the tank.
Attach the yellow clips from the tank onto the intermediate cover.

The Lid Assembly with the vacuum controls, motor, and filters are all preassembled at the
factory for your convenience. Maintenance and replacement of filters is described later in
this manual.

Attach hose, wands and cleaning accessories

Hose and accessories are stored on the unit. The hose will loop through the two outside holes of the
accessory tray and rest on the hooks of the back legs as shown below. For convenience, additional
accessories can be stored on tray when not in use.

To Use Accessories

Push hose into tank port; twist hose to tighten or loosen connection. The wands and cleaning accessories attach to hose in the same manner.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Dustless Technologies Model 16003 Wet/Dry Vacuum delivers 99% filtration at .5 micron which is great for fine particle pick-up, like
drywall, concrete, or surface dust. All units come with a powerful 11 amp motor, dual filtration system, corrosion resistant tank, large
wheels and an integrated accessory holder. Model 16010 comes with a built-in ToolSync outlet for use with power tools providing an
automatic vacuum start-up when the tool is turned on and about a 6 second shut-off delay to clear the hose when the vacuum is
turned off. Model 16006 Wet/Dry Vacuum has HEPA certified filters installed and provides filtration rated at D.O.P Eff. Mil. Std. 282:

99.97% min. at .3 micron. The Model 16011 HEPA Wet/Dry Vacuum comes with ToolSync.

The ToolSync model vacuums (16009, 16010, 16011) are intended for use with small hand held power tools with current rating 8
amperes or less. Accessories are available to allow larger tools to operate with the vacuum. See the ToolSync Operation section below
for more information.

Automatic Suction Shut-Off

NOTE: The unit must be used in the upright position at all times, otherwise the automatic suction
shut-off will activate. The automatic suction shut-off functions when the tank fills with liquid. As
the tank fills, the ball float ( inside the cage ) rises until it seats itself against the bottom of the
intermediate cover. This shuts off the suction of the vacuum cleaner when the tank is full.
