WET PICK-UP
Remove all dirt and debris found in the tank. The
vacuum requires only a minimum of conversion when
going from dry to wet pick up. Remove the dry use
lter from the vacuum. A clean cartridge lter may
used for vacuuming small amounts of liquids. For
best results when vacuuming large quantities of
liquid, remove the cartridge lter. When vacuuming
liquids containing debris, it is recommended
purchasing a foam lter and install over the lter cage.
The foam lter may be purchased by visiting our
website at www.dewalt.com, contacting our
customer service department, or purchasing at the
local D
WALT distributor. When picking up large
E
amounts of liquid, it is recommend to remove the
cartridge lter. If the lter is not removed, it will
become saturated and misting may appear in the
exhaust.
At this time, you should dry or replace the cartridge
lter to eliminate the misting and possible dripping of
liquid around the lid. After completing a wet pick-up
job, raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the
tank before shutting off. The interior of tank should be
periodically cleaned.
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet
before removing the power head. Place power
head in an upside down position. Remove the
cartridge lter by sliding it up and off the
lter cage.
2. Shake excess dust off the cartridge lter with a rapid
up and down movement.
NOTE: WET PICK-UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD
BE WASHED PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY
AFTER PICKING UP WET, STICKY FLUIDS
OR SPILLS. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED
WITH A WARM SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.
3. This wet/dry vac is equipped with a oat
mechanism which will rise automatically to
cut off the air ow when the liquid in the tank
reaches a predetermined level. When this
happens, turn off vac, unplug the power cord,
and empty the dust tank. You will know that
the oat has shut the air ow off because the
suction ceases and the motor noise becomes
higher in pitch due to increased motor speed.
The liquid capacity may vary with the
rate of pickup.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of damage
to the vac, do not run motor with oat in
raised position.
Float in raised position
NOTE: IF ACCIDENTALLY TIPPED OVER,
THE VACUUM COULD CLOSED SUCTION.
IF THIS OCCURS, PLACE VAC IN UPRIGHT
POSITION AND TURN SWITCH OFF. THIS
WILL ALLOW THE FLOAT TO RETURN TO
ITS NORMAL POSITION, AND YOU WILL BE
ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATION.
EMPTY THE TANK
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from accidental
starting, unplug power cord before emptying
the dust tank.
1. Remove the power head assembly of the
wet/ dry vac by pulling outward on the lid
clips located on each side of the vac.
