IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AWARNING WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL VACUUM, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING VACUUM. BEFORE USING THE VACUUM, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL, BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER OPERATOR'S MANUALS, AND ALL LABELS ON THE VACUUM, BATTERY PACK, AND CHARGER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Vacuums have motors and other parts that can produce sparks during normal use. Do not use within 30 feet of areas where explosive materials may be present (such as gasoline pumps and places where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners, solvents, etc. are stored).
• Do not use in the presence of explosive dust, liquids or vapors.
• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are used.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use extra care when using on stairs.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do not handle battery pack or vacuum with wet hands.

PERSONAL SAFETY

STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use vacuum when you are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
- The operation of a vacuum can result in foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields when operating vacuum. - Wear a dust mask or use an OSHA compliant vacuum solution when working in dusty situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
- Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before inserting battery pack. Inserting battery pack in vacuum that has the switch on invites accidents.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the vacuum in unexpected situations.
- Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts. - Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

VACUUM USE AND CARE

• Do not use without dust cannister and/or filter in place.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hol ashes.
• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without filter in place. These are very fine particles that may affect the performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air.
• This product is suitable for collection of silica dust when used in accordance with these instructions. To reduce the risk of health hazards from other vapors or dust, do not vacuum carcinogenic, toxic or hazardous materials such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangered materials.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust box after each use.
• Do not leave vacuum unattended when battery pack is installed. Remove battery pack when not in use and before servicing.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything else that may reduce air flow.
• Maintain vacuum. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the vacuum's operation. If damaged, have the vacuum repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265^ (130^) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the Instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only Identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the Instructions for use and care.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR WET/DRY VACUUM

• Never use vacuum without tank and filter properly installed.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• This product is suitable for collection of silica dust when used in accordance with these instructions. To reduce the risk of health hazards from other vapors or dust, do not vacuum carcinogenic, toxic or hazardous materials such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangered materials.
  WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of those chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based paint
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ASSEMBLY

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always remove the battery pack before removing the tank.

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.

AWARNING Recharge only with the charger specified for the battery. For specific charging instructions, read the operator's manual supplied with your charger and battery.

Removing/Inserting the Battery

To remove the battery, push in the release buttons and pull the battery pack away from the tool.

AWARNING 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.

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^n count clockwise and pull it off of the motor housing/float cage.
4. Empty all debris from the tank.
NOTE: 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.

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 ④ the motor housing, lining up the tabs on the hose with the notches in the port. Twist to secure and form a tight fit.

AWARNING 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.

Installing the Vacuum Power Tool Adapter To install the vacuum power tool adapter, remove the general cleaning nozzle by unscrewing it from the end of the hose. Twist the power tool adapter onto the exposed hose section until tight for a secure fit.

OPERATION

AWARNINGTo reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appropriate 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. To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. 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 the vacuum on low, push the switch to the Speed One (I) position.

To turn the vacuum on high, push the switch to the Speed Two (II) position.

To turn off the vacuum, push the switch to the OFF (O) position.

CAUTION If the float is clean, moves freely, and the suction does not shut off when the tank is filled, contact a

MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs. A malfunctioning tool can cause personal injury or property damage.

Wet Pick-Up Operation

For wet pick-up operation, it is recommended to use the foam filter (Single pack, Cat. No. 49-90-2015).
2 Remove the filter. Ensure that the float cage remains in place.

1. A float cage shuts off suction when the tank is full Be sure that the float is clean and moves freely in the float cage to ensure that the float valve works. 4. Turn on the vacuum and begin pick-up.
2. 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
   immediately and empty the tank
3. Remove the battery pack.
4. Raise the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank.
5. Remove motor housing and pour liquid waste into a suitable drain.
6. Clean the interior of the tank and pick-up accessories 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.
CAUTION: Failure to turn off unit after float rise 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.

Fine Dust Collection

For increased filter life and ease of cleanup, use a fleece dust bag to collect fine dust particles (Single pack, Cat. No. 49-90-2016).
To install the fleece dust bag, slide the cardboard bag inlet into the dust bag holder.

Storage

Before storing your vacuum, empty and clean the tank, filter, and accessories. Remove the batter pack.
