ASSEMBLY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always remove
the battery pack before removing the tank.
Removing/Inserting the Battery
To remove the battery, push in the release buttons
and pull the battery pack away from the tool.
WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing
or removing accessories.
To insert the battery, slide the pack into the body
of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.
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.
Removing/Installing the Filter
Use the filter for dry pickup only.
1. Remove the battery pack. Close and latch the
battery compartment.
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.
5. To clean the filter, tap clean, or soak in water.
NOTE: If cleaning with water, let filter dry 24 hours
before using with vacuum.
6. 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.
7. Replace the motor housing and secure both
latches.
Pick-Up/Blower
The vacuum can be used for debris pick-up or as a
blower, depending on the port used.
1. For the debris pick-up, insert the large end of the
hose into the intake port of the motor housing,
lining up the tabs on the hose with the notches in
the port. Twist to secure and form a tight fit.
2. To use as a blower, insert the large end of hose
into the blower port of the motor housing, lining
up the tabs on the hose with the notches in the
port. Twist to secure and form a tight fit.
WARNING
Only use accessories
specifically recom-
mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
Installing/Removing the Accessories
To install the nozzles, hoses or extensions, push
the accessory onto the vacuum inlet.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always wear
proper eye protection marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
To reduce the risk of fire and injury, do not use
to pick up flammable or combustible materials.
Empty tank before use.
Before use, ensure the filter and float cage are
properly installed. Remove filter before all wet
pick-up operations.
Starting and Stopping Vacuum
To turn on the vacuum, push the switch to the ON
(I) position.
To turn off the vacuum, push the switch to the OFF
(O) position.
Wet Pick-Up Operation
1. Remove ALL dirt and debris found in the tank.
2. Remove the filter. Ensure that the float cage
remains in place.
Float cage
3. Turn on the vacuum and begin pick-up.
4. Turn off the vacuum immediately upon completing
a wet pick-up job or when tank is full and ready to
be emptied.
NOTE: If suction shuts off, turn off the vacuum im-
mediately and empty the tank.
5. Remove the battery pack.
6. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the
tank.
7. Remove motor housing and pour liquid waste into
a suitable drain.
8. Clean the interior of the tank and pick-up acces-
sories periodically, more often when used to pick
up wet, sticky materials. Use warm, soapy water.
Automatic Suction Shut-Off
When picking up liquids, an internal float rises until it
seats itself against a seal at the intake of the motor,
shutting off suction. When this happens, the motor
will develop a higher than normal pitch noise and the
suction is drastically reduced. If this occurs, turn off
the vacuum immediately. Failure to turn off unit after
float rises and shuts off suction will result in extensive
damage to the motor. To continue use, empty the
liquid waste from the tank.
NOTE: If the vacuum is accidentally tipped over, it
could lose suction. Turn off the vacuum and return
it to an upright position. The float will return to its
normal position.

Storage
Before storing your vacuum, empty and clean the
tank, filter, and accessories. Remove the battery
pack.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always unplug
the charger and remove the battery pack from
the charger or tool before performing any main-
tenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery
pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service
facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
personal injury and
damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside
them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest authorized service center.
