WARNING: The operation of any
utility vac can result in foreign
objects being blown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye
damage.
Always
eyewear complying with ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada, CSA Z94.3) before
starting operation. Safety eyewear
are available at many local retail
stores.

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.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
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 the power cord into the outlet,
turn the unit on by pushing the switch from
position "O" to position "l". The symbols used
on the switch actuator are international "On &
Off" symbols. "O" is the symbol for "OFF" and
"l" is the symbol for "ON".

Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must always be in correct
position to reduce the risk of leaks and
possible damage to vac.
2. When using your vac to pick up very fine
dust, it will be necessary for you to replace
your original filter with a 2-stage filter. In
addition you may need to empty the drum
and clean the filter at more frequent
intervals to maintain peak vac performance.
NOTE: The filter must be dry in order to pick
up dry material. If you use your vac to pick up
dust when the filter is wet, the filter will clog
quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use the
vac to pick up dry material, you can quickly
dry the filter by running the vac without
hose attached for about 10 minutes. The
clean air rushing through the vac will help
dry the filter.
NOTE: The optional 2-stage filter will do a
better job stopping the very fine particles
than the original filter (replacement service
part DHF5000). Replacement filters may be
obtained through retail stores carrying Dirt
Hound Wet/Dry Vacs or by calling the Dirt
Hound Wet/Dry Vac Customer Service
Department.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of liquid
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.
