EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension
cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two
or three wire extension cord. As the distance from
the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge
cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, be sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. If you are using
one extension cord for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada)
to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

SERVICING OF
DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or
more of the following: The words "DOUBLE INSU-
LATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED" or the double
insulation symbol (square within a square).
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be
added to the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for double-
insulated appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug
tool before changing or removing accessories.
Only use accessories specifically recommended
for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
CAUTION
Keep filter clean. Efficiency
of the vacuum is largely
dependent on the filter. A dirty filter will reduce
the air flow and overall efficiency of the system.
Remove from tank and tap clean.
Installing Motor Head onto Tank
(Tank Cat. No. 0922-20, 0912-20, 0932-20, not
included)
1. Lift front and back tank latches.
2. Align the vacuum port inside the dust bag holder.
3. Secure front and back latches.
Removing/Securing Power Cord
To
remove
, bring the pivoting cord wrap inward. The
cord will easily remove off the motor head.
To
secure
, face the pivoting cord wrap away and
wind the cord around the pivoting cord wrap.
Removing/Installing the Filters
Use the high efficiency or HEPA filter for dry pickup
only (
Single pack, Cat. No. 49-90-1977, 49-90-
1978)
. Use the foam filter for wet pick-up operation
only (
Single pack Cat. No. 49-90-1990).
1. Unplug the vacuum.
2.
Release the tank latches and lift off the motor
housing. Place it upside down on a flat surface.
3. To
remove
the filter, turn it 1/2" counter clockwise
and pull it off of the motor housing/float cage.
4. Empty all debris from the tank.
NOTICE
When applicable, adhere to
jobsite guidelines pertaining to
the disposal of silica dust.
5. To
install
the filter, slide it over the float cage. Line
up the filter tabs with the motor housing notches
and turn it 1/2" clockwise to lock in place.
6. Replace the motor housing and secure both
latches.
