IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE,
BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD AL W A YS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING
THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING VACUUM.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Vacuum cleaners have motors and other parts
that can produce sparks during normal use. Do
not use within 30 feet of areas where explosive
materials may be present (such as gasoline pumps
and places where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners, solvents, etc. are stored).
• Do not use in the presence of explosive dust,
liquids or vapors.
• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are
used.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Wear electrically insulated footwear, such as
rubber boots, when vacuuming wet material.
• Do not handle battery pack or vacuum with wet
hands.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use vacuum cleaner when you
are tired, distracted or under the infl uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a utility vacuum can result in
foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can
result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
when operating vacuum.
• Always wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
• Wear a face or dust mask when working in dust
situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery packs in vacuums that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
vacuum in unexpected situations.
• Never stand on vacuum or use as a step stool.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fi ngers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
USE AND CARE
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Do not use without dust bag and/or fi lters in place.
• Do not use to pick up fl ammable or combustible
liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smok-
ing such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
2 3
• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall
dust without fi lter in place. These are very fi ne
particles that may affect the performance of the
motor or be exhausted back into the air.
• To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors
or dust, do not vacuum toxic, carcinogenic or
other hazardous materials such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other
health endangering materials.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.
• Do not use your cleaner as a sprayer of fl am-
mable liquids such as oil base paints, lacquers,
household cleaners, etc.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded
tanks.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty tank
after each use.
• Do not leave vacuum unattended when battery
pack is installed. Remove battery pack when not
in use and before servicing.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything else that may reduce air fl ow .
• Maintain vacuum. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the vacuum's
operation. If damaged, have the vacuum repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
BA TTER Y PACK USE AND CARE
• Turn off all controls before removing battery
pack.
• Remove battery pack whenever motor head is
removed from tank.
Before using the battery pack or charger read
•
the operator’s manuals, and any labels on the
battery pack, charger and vacuum.
• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use vacuum only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fi re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fi re.
• Do not use damaged battery pack or vacuum. If
battery pack or appliance are not working as they
should, have been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, return them to a service center .

3. To remove the fi lter, turn it 1/2" counter clockwise
and pull it off of the motor housing/fl oat cage.
4. Empty all debris from the tank.
5. To clean the fi lter, shake off excess dirt or rinse
the outside with water. Dry completely.
6. To install the fi lter, slide it over the fl oat cage.
Line up the fi lter tabs with the motor housing
notches and turn it 1/2" clockwise to lock in
place.
7. Replace the motor housing and secure both
latches.
CAUTION Keep fi lters clean. Ef-
fi ciency of the vacuum is largely dependent
on the fi lters. Dirty fi lters will reduce the air
fl ow and effi ciency of the fi ltration system. Do
NOT machine wash or dry.
WARNING To reduce the
risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields and dust mask when using
the vacuum as a blower. Clean tank completely before use.
Pickup/Blower
The vacuum can be used for debris pickup or as a
blower, depending on the port used.
1. For debris pickup, insert the large end of hose
into the intake port of the motor housing, lining
up the tabs on the hose with the notches in the
port. Twist to secure and form a tight fi t.
2. T o use as a blower, insert the large end of hose
into the blower port
lining up the tabs on the hose with the notches
in the port. Twist to secure and form a tight fi t.
3. Attach one of the accessories to the other end
of the hose. Twist to form a tight fi t. Use 1-1/4"
opening accessories.

OPERATION MAINTENANCE
WARNING To reduce the
risk of fi re and injury, do not use to pick up
fl ammable or combustible materials.
WARNING To reduce the
risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields. Remove the battery pack
before changing accessories, making adjustments, and removing the motor housing.
Starting and Stopping Vacuum
To turn on the vacuum, push the switch to the ON
(I) position.
T o turn off the vacuum, push the switch to the OFF
(O) position.
Wet Pick-Up Operation
1. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank.
Install the fi lter.
2. Turn on the vacuum and begin pick-up.
3. Turn off the vacuum immediately upon completing a wet pick-up job or when tank is full and
ready to be emptied.
4. Remove the battery pack.
5. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into
the tank.
6. Remove motor housing and pour liquid waste
into a suitable drain.
7. Clean the interior of the tank, the fi lter, and pick-
up accessories periodically, more often when
used to pick up wet, sticky materials. Use warm,
soapy water.
Automatic suction Shut-Off
When picking up liquids, an internal fl oat rises until
it seats itself against a seal at the intake of the motor, shutting off suction. When this happens, the
motor will develop a higher than normal pitch noise
and the suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs,
turn off the vacuum immediately . Failure to turn off
unit after fl oat rises and shuts off suction will result
in extensive damage to the motor. To continue use,
empty the liquid waste from the tank.
NOTE: If the vacuum is accidentally tipped over, it
could lose suction. Turn off the vacuum and return
it to an upright position. The fl oat will return to its
normal position.
Storage
Before storing your vacuum, empty and clean the
tank, fi lter, and accessories. Remove the battery
pack.
