3. This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float mechanism
which will rise automatically to cut off the airflow 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
float has shut the airflow 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 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

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. Lift off the power head assembly.
2. Dump the tank contents into the proper waste disposal
container.

personal injury, turn unit off before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
Your D
WALT power tool has been designed to operate
e
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
Filter Replacement
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord before
changing or cleaning filter. Your filter should be
cleaned often to maintain peak vac performance.
Important: To avoid damage to the blower wheel and
motor, always reinstall the Clean Connect TM filter before
using the vac for dry pickups and wet pickups.
Important: After cleaning, check the filter for tears or small
holes. Do not use a filter with holes or tears in it. Even a
small hole can cause a lot of dust to come out of your vac.
Replace it immediately.
Note: Before installing the filter on the vac, clean the area
of the lid so that the filter will seal against the lid and stop
small particles from bypassing the filter bag. If the filter is
clean and not damaged, replace it on the filter cage. If it
cannot be reused,place a new filter over the filter cage.
Note: Clean the filter in an open area. Cleaning should be
done outdoors and not in living quarters.
WARNING: Do not remove filter cage and float. The
float prevents water from entering the impeller and
damaging the motor. The cage prevents fingers from
touching the moving impeller.
