Vacuuming wet or dry materials (Fig. 11)

When vacuuming dry materials, either the ﬁ lter cartridge or the foam ﬁ lter

sleeve AND the cloth ﬁ lter are required. There are other ﬁ lters that can be

used with the required ﬁ lters to provide additional ﬁ ltration when vacuuming

dry material. Follow the the instructions included with these ﬁ lters. Empty

tank and clean ﬁ lter frequently. Be sure ﬁ lters are dry before using the

vacuum to pick up dry material. Dry material will clog wet ﬁ lters and make

them difﬁ cult to clean.

When vacuuming wet materials, either the ﬁ lter cartridge or a foam ﬁ lter

sleeve is required. A ﬂ oat valve shuts off suction when the tank is full. Be

sure that the ﬂ oat is clean and moves freely in the ﬂ oat cage to ensure that

the ﬂ oat valve works. If you are vacuuming a large amount of liquid, the ﬁ lter

cartridge can become saturated and a mist can appear from the exhaust

port. If this happens, dry the ﬁ lter by running the vacuum (without picking

up anything) for 10 minutes.

To reduce the risk of injury: wear safety glasses and a dustmask

when using the vacuum cleaner as a blower.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electric shock or injury: Do not plug any

tool or appliance rated over 8 amps into the outlet on the vacuum

cleaner. Check nameplate of the tool for the amp rating. To reduce

the risk of injury, tool must be turned off before placing switch in

the auto position.

WARNING!

OPERATION

If the ﬂ oat is clean and moves freely and the suction does not

shut off when tank is ﬁ lled (you will be able to see water in the

exhaust port), send motorhead to the nearest MILWAUKEE service

facility for repair.

Starting and Stopping the Vacuum

To turn vacuum cleaner on, switch the ON/OFF switch to the ON

position.

To turn vacuum cleaner off, switch the ON/OFF switch to the OFF

position.

For Cat. No. 8936-20:

To turn vacuum on, set the AUTO/OFF/ON switch to ON position.

To turn vacuum off, set the AUTO/OFF/ON switch to the OFF position. To

turn the vacuum on automatically by using a tool plugged into the outlet on

the motor head, set the AUTO/OFF/ON switch to the AUTO position.

Removing liquid from the vacuum tank

1. Unplug vacuum cleaner.

2. Remove motor head and set aside.

3. Block wheels.

4. Carefully dump contents into ﬂ oor drain. Do not dump through intake

tube.

5. Rinse and dry tank.

Do not store vacuum cleaner with liquid in tank. Run the vacuum for about

10 minutes without picking up anything to dry the inside of the tank and the

ﬁ lter cartridge.

Using the vacuum as a blower (Cat. Nos. 8950 & 8955 only)

Attach hose to exhaust port on the motor head, attach the

appropriate accessory to the hose, turn the vacuum on.

Using the vacuum cleaner to collect dust created by tools

Many tools (such as sanders) are designed so that they can be used with

vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaners collect the dust that these tools

create before it gets into the air or onto the ﬂ oor. Vacuum cleaners with the

AUTO setting are ideal for collecting dust because they can be set up to

turn on and off automatically by using the tool’s on and off switch. Vacuum

cleaners without an AUTO setting can also be used to collect dust. The

operator will simply have to turn the vacuum on and off.

Using the vacuums (without the automatic switch) as dust collection

device for a tool

1. Connect vacuum hose to tool’s dust collection port.

2. Turn the vacuum cleaner on.

3. Turn on tool.

To use the vacuum cleaner as an automatic dust collection

device for a tool (with Cat. No. 8936-20 only)

1. Connect vacuum hose to tool.

2. With the power switch in the “O” (Off) position, plug power cord of the

tool (also turned off) into the electrical outlet on the vacuum cleaner’s

motor head.

3. Set the AUTO/OFF/ON switch to AUTO. A very brief running operation

of the vacuum will occur. This is normal. Now the vacuum will operate

“On Demand”.

4. Turn tool on and the vacuum cleaner will start automatically a few

seconds later. Turn tool off and vacuum will stop automatically a few

seconds later.

Utility Outlet Load - vs - Vacuum Performance

The unique design of the “On Demand” feature of this unit will cause the

vacuum performance to vary with the amount of current drawn from the utility

outlet. The electronic circuit automatically adjusts the power of the vacuum

unit to compensate for the power being drawn from the utility outlet. This

adjustment allows the total system current draw to stay within the safety

regulatory agencies maximum of 12 Amps. What ever the amount of current

is being drawn for utility work, the remainder from 12 Amps is allowed to

the vacuum unit to provide the maximum allowable vacuum performance

during the work. As soon as the utility work stops, the vacuum returns to

full power during the delay period before turning off.
