Operating Instructions
General Operation
- Ensure all connections are secure before turning on your shop vacuum.
- Adjust the suction control on the hose handle as needed. Opening the vent reduces suction, while closing it increases suction.
Using the Attachments
- Extendable Wand:
Use the stainless steel extendable wand to reach high areas, ceilings, or under furniture. Adjust its length by sliding the sections until the desired reach is achieved.
