SA VE THESE INSTR UCTIONS

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. Always wear safety goggles, not glasses, complying with ANSI Z87.1(or in Canada CSA Z94-3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they break.

To reduce the risk of hearing damage,

• wear ear protectors when using the vac for extended hours or when, using it in a noisy area. For dusty operations, wear dust mask.

Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor condition or that are too sm all in w ire si z e can pose fire and shock hazards. When using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition. Using any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum, use the following table to choose the minimum wir e size extension cord.

Explosive dusts include but are not limited to; coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flammable or combustible liquids or hot ashes. Do not use this vac as a sprayer. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials.

CAUTION: To reduce risk of hearing damage wear ear protectors when using the vac for extended hours or when using it in a noisy area. The operation of any utility vac can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94-3-99 ) shown on Package before commencing operation. Safety Goggles are available at many local retail stores.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the o ther). This plug will fi t in a polarized ou tlet o nly o ne w ay. I f th e plu g 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. After you plug t he p o wer cord into a 120V outlet, turn the Wet/Dry Vac on by pushing the switch from “OFF” to “ON”. Fami liarize yourself with the accessories included with the vac. Each accessory may be used in various ways for vacuuming and blo wing debris. H ere is a list o f the accessories and their uses. Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle for most vacuuming applications. Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup on smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and dry the surface in one stroke. Car Nozzle - Dry pickup nozzle for car interiors and most upholstery cleaning.

Extension Wand s - These w ands can be connected together and provides additional length for more reach. Hose - Provides transfer of vacuum or blowing capability to work site. Provides the means of attaching extension wands, and nozzles.

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1.The filter must always be in correct position to avoid leaks and possible damage to vac.

2.When using your vac to pick up very fine dust, it will be necessary for you to empty the drum and clean the filter at more frequent intervals to mainta in peak vac performance.

NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up dry material. If you u se y our v ac to pic k up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.

3.If y our filt er is wet but y ou ne ed to use the vac to pick up dry material, you can quickly dry the filter by runnin g the v ac witho ut hose attached for about 10 minutes. The clean air rushing through the vac will help dry the filter .

WD1200/30 RIDGID MANUAL (12001 3/16/01 4:23 PM Page 9

Operation (continued)

Vacuuming Liquids

1.When pickin g up small amounts of liqui d 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 vac to pick up liqu ids, the filter must be dried to avoid possible mildew and damage to the filter.

4.When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off airflow. When this happens, turn off the vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the drum. You will know that the float has risen because vac airflow ceases and the motor noise wil l becom e highe r in pitch, due to increased motor speed.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the vac do not run motor with float in raised position.

Emptying the Drum

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cor d before emptying the drum.

l. The vac comes equipped with a drain

for easy emptying of liquid s. Simply unscrew the drain cap and lift the opposite side slightly to empty the drum.

2.Another option is to remove the lid. Pull the flexible latches outward on each side of the lid to release from the drum.

3.While holding the latches out, lift the top assembly up and away from the drum.

4.Lay top assembly upside down on a clean area while emptying drum or changing filter.

5.Dump the drum con tents into the prope r waste disposal container.

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

Moving the Vac

1.Should it become nec essary to pic k the vac up to move it, DO NOT pick the vac up by the lid handles unless dust drum is empty. To avoid dropping the v a c due to latches releasing or possible part breakage, pick the vac up by the lip of the dust drum.
