manner handle other than by vacuuming.
DO NOT at any time attempt to remove,
substitute, bypass or by any other means
change the filters in the vacuum.
Use only manufacturer’s approved vacuum
filters and filters bags.
Before attempting to use or before cleaning
with this vacuum, be sure that you fully

INTENDED
USE OF THE
VACUUM
Page 3
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If
it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This vacuum is
equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and 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.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug
is necessary, DO NOT connect grounded
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire.
G
ROUNDING
M
ETHODS
This electric equipment is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in (Fig A). A temporary adaptor
that looks like the adaptor illustrated in
(Fig B & C) may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
(Fig B) if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.
The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig
A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear, lug or the
like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw. (Fig C).
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 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 equipment. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code.

DANGER:
WARNING:
Page 4
This hazardous waste vacuum has special filters installed. The disposable paper bag filter
contains the bulk of all debris and protects
remaining filters from excess dirt.
The intermediate filter is a very fine nonwoven filter that extends the life of the
expensive High-Efficiency Particulate Air
(HEPA) filter.
1) Disengage clamps that hold motor head
to the tank. Carefully set aside.
2) Remove HEPA filter and intermediate
filter. Set aside.
3) Install a new disposable paper filter bag
by taking hold of the free ends of cardboard
attached to the paper bag. Pull the cardboard forward over inlet fitting so that the
cardboard is as close to the tank wall as
possible.
4) Place the intermediate filter in position on
top of the tank. Fold the edge over the outside of tank, overlapping approximately one
inch.
5) Insert the HEPA filter, being careful not to
move the intermediate filter. The filter’s sealing gasket must sit evenly on the tank rim so
an air tight seal will be obtained.
6) Replace motor head assembly on top of
HEPA filter seated in the top of the tank.
Hazardous materials must be disposed of properly. NEVER throw
contaminated debris in your usual trash receptacle. Place debris in a
OSHA approved poly bag or container marked with HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
warning and dispose in accordance with your
local Hazardous Waste Regulations.
To insure a snug fit, make sure that the area around the lid and top
edge of the vinyl sealing gasket is free of dirt and other foreign matter.
NEVER operate the vacuum cleaner without a HEPA filter and
2-ply disposable paper bag in place and NEVER, NEVER without the
intermediate filter in position. Motor damage, lose of operating efficiency
and re-circulation of hazardous material into the work area will take place.
