Overview

This document is the Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions for the Bauer 6 Gallon Wet Dry Vacuum, model number 1952E-B6. It provides essential information for safe operation, assembly, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the appliance.

Function Description

The Bauer 6 Gallon Wet Dry Vacuum is a versatile electrical appliance designed for both wet and dry vacuuming tasks, and it also functions as a blower. Its primary purpose is to pick up debris, dust, and liquids from various surfaces. For dry vacuuming, it utilizes a filter to capture particulate matter, while for wet vacuuming, the filter is removed to prevent damage and allow for liquid collection. The blower function allows for clearing debris by expelling air through the hose. The appliance is intended for household use only.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Model Number: 1952E-B6
  • Tank Capacity: 6 Gallons
  • Electrical Rating: 120VAC / 60Hz / 8A
  • Insulation: Double-insulated, meaning it has two systems of insulation instead of grounding, and should only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical replacement parts.
  • Cord Length Recommendations: The manual provides a table for recommended minimum wire gauge for extension cords (120 Volt) based on nameplate amperes (at full load) and cord length (25', 50', 100', 150'). For example, for 0-6 amperes, a 25' cord requires 18 gauge, while a 150' cord requires 14 gauge. For 12.1-16 amperes, a 25' cord requires 14 gauge, and longer cords are not recommended ("Do not use").

Usage Features

  • Wet and Dry Vacuuming: The vacuum can be configured for either wet or dry pick-up. For dry vacuuming, a filter is slid over the filter cage and secured with a locking cap. For wet vacuuming, the filter must be removed.
  • Blower Function: The hose can be detached from the vacuum port and attached to the blower port (located on the back of the power head) to convert the unit into a blower.
  • Extension Wands and Nozzles: The vacuum comes with extension wands and a gulper nozzle, which can be added as needed for various cleaning tasks. The casters include storage for the nozzle and wands.
  • Liquid Full Indicator: When wet vacuuming, if the motor sound becomes higher in pitch, it indicates that the tank is full and the float is closing off the motor intake. The user is instructed to immediately turn off the vacuum, unplug it, and empty the tank.
  • Polarized Plug: The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) to reduce the risk of electric shock. It should only be inserted into a polarized outlet, and if it doesn't fit, the plug should be reversed. If it still doesn't fit, a qualified electrician should be contacted.
  • Safety Precautions:
    • Always unplug the appliance when not in use, before servicing, or before performing any setup procedures.
    • Do not expose to rain; store indoors.
    • Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
    • Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from openings and moving parts.
    • Do not pick up flammable or combustible liquids, burning or smoking items (cigarettes, matches, hot ashes), or water from containers like sinks or tubs.
    • Ensure hands and feet are dry before touching the plug or switch.
    • Do not immerse the nozzle completely in liquid during wet vacuuming; leave a gap for air inflow.
    • When using as a blower, do not point the hose toward another person or animal.
    • People with pacemakers should consult their physician before use due to potential electromagnetic interference.

Maintenance Features

  • Regular Inspection: Before each use, the appliance should be inspected for loose hardware, misalignment or binding of moving parts, air leakage, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, or any other condition affecting safe operation.
  • Filter Cleaning: The filter should be cleaned regularly to ensure proper operation. This involves removing the filter, tapping or shaking it into a waste can, and if needed, flushing it with plain water from the inside. The filter must be allowed to dry for at least 24 hours before replacing it, as installing a wet filter increases the risk of electric shock and can damage the vacuum. Torn filters should be replaced.
  • Post-Use Cleaning and Storage: After use, external surfaces should be wiped with a clean cloth. The tank should be emptied and cleaned. The appliance should be stored indoors in a dry area, out of children's reach.
  • Lubrication: All parts are permanently lubricated, and no additional lubrication is required.
  • Cord Replacement: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by a qualified service technician.
  • Servicing Double-Insulated Appliances: Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should only be performed by qualified service personnel using identical replacement parts.
