GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. If vac-
uum cleaner should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to,
reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
BX WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not mod-
ily the plug provided with the vacuum cleaner ~ iit
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician
© Sears, Roebuck and Co. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and
hhas a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illus-
trated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly ground-
ed outlet is not available, The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician, The green colored rigid
ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter must be con-
ected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not per-
mitted by the Canadian Electrical code.

EXTENSION CORDS
When using the vacuum cleaner at a distance where an
extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor ground-
ing cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to
prevent loss of power and overheating. Use the table below
to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine
ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to nameplate located
(on rear of motor cover.
Before using vacuum cleaner, inspect power cord for loose
or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any need-
ed repairs or replacements before using your vacuum
cleaner. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords which
have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole
receptacles which accept the extension cord's plug. When
vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection
does not come in contact with the liquid

sliding in an upward motion. Invert and insert into guide
with opening facing up. NOTE: Hose must be removed
before inlet deflector can be taken out. Be sure the opening
of the inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank (Figure 15)
Misting may occur if inlet deflector is not inserted propery.
Misting in exhaust air may also occur ifthe foam sleeve
becomes saturated during wet pick-up. if misting occurs,
remove and dry the saturated foam sleeve or replace with
another dry foam sleeve to eliminate the misting and possi-
ble dripping of liquid around the li.
Turn the unit off immediately upon completing a wet pick-up
job or when tank is full and ready to be emptied, and raise
‘the hose to drain any excess liquid into the tank. The interi-
or of the tank should be periodically cleaned. The foam
sleeve should be cleaned periodically as described in the
following steps:
1. Always disconnect the plug from the wall receptacle
before removing the tank cover. Remove foam sleeve by
sliding it up and off the lid cage.

down movement,
8. Hold sleeve under running
water, rinsing from the inside
A water wash is not always
required, depending on the
condition of the sleeve,
4.Gently wring out excess water,
and blot sleeve with a clean towel. The foam sleeve is
now ready to be reinstalled on the lid cage. NOTE: Bottom
of sleeve should be TUCKED in groove between lid cage
and tank li. (Figure 16) EMPTYING LIQUID WASTE
FROM THE TANK
Your Craftsman Wet/Dry Vacuum can be emptied of liquid
waste by removing the drain cap. To empty, turn unit off
and remove plug from wall receptacle. Remove the drain
cap, located on front of vacuum at bottom of tank, and
deposit the liquid waste contents into a suitable drain, After
the tank is emply, return the drain cap to its original posi-
tion. To continue use, plug the cord into the wail receptacle
and turn unit on. Model No. 17935 does not have a drain
cap. To emply, remove lid, and pour water out into a suit-
able drain,
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
‘The vacuum is equipped with an automatic suction shut-off
that operates when picking up liquids. As the level of the
liquid rises in the tank, 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 high-
er than normal pitch noise and the suction is drastically
reduced. If this occurs, tum unit off immediately. Failure to
‘tum unit off 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 as outlined in the previous
paragraph.
NOTE: If accidentally tipped over, the vacuum could lose
suction. If this occurs, place vac in upright position and
turn switch off. This will allow the float to retum to its nor-
mal position, and you will be able to continue operation.
BLOWER FEATURE
This vacuum can be used as a powerful blower. To use
your unit as a blower unscrew blower port cover located on
the backside of the motor housing (Figure 17). The blower
port cover is equipped with a retaining strap to prevent loss
of the port cover while blower is in use, Insert hose end
with locking-nut into blower port of tank and tighten. Be
cautious when using as a blower due to the powerful force
of air
2. WARNING: aiways wear eye protection to prevent
rocks or debris from being blown or ricocheting
into the eyes or face which can result in serious:
injury.
ATTACHING SQUEEGEE TO
14” FLOOR NOZZLE
Align one side of squeegee with brush
side of nozzle, Push them together,
starting at one end and working toward
the other. Repeat process to attach
other side of squeegee to front side of
nozzle (Figure 18).
Before storing your vacuum cleaner the tank should be emp-
tied and cleaned. The power cord can be wrapped around the
cord wraps provided on the rear of the tank (Figure 19). A hose
holder has been provided for easy storage of the hose. Install
hose holder end with fastener onto hose. Slide or snap fas-
tener into notch, securing it in place. Remove extension
wands andlor accessory from end of hose and place hose
tend into open end of hose holder to secure hose in place for
easy storage (Figure 20)
