SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
To reduce
the risk of injury, always unplug tool before
changing or removing accessories. Only use
accessories specifi cally recommended for
this tool. Others may be hazardous.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the
risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields.
WARNING
To reduce the
risk of fi re, electric shock, injury, and damage
to the tool: Do not plug any tool or appli-
ance rated over 5 amps into the outlet on the
vacuum cleaner. Check nameplate on the tool
for the amp rating.
WARNING
To reduce the
risk of electric shock, DO NOT pick up wet ma-
terials unless the vacuum cleaner is properly
set up to pick up wet materials.
Starting and Stopping Vacuum Cleaner
To turn on the vacuum cleaner, set the ON/OFF
switch to the ON position.
To turn off the vacuum cleaner, set the ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position.
Using the Vacuum Cleaner To Pick Up Dry Ma-
terials:
Make sure that the tank is dry before using the
vacuum cleaner to pick up dry materials. If the
vacuum cleaner tank is wet, run the vacuum cleaner
for about 5 minutes (without picking up anything) to
dry the inside of the tank.
4. Attach cloth fi lter (D) to fi lter frame (D).
5. Set fi lter frame and cloth fi lter assembly (C and
D) onto tank.
6. Replace motor head and snap down tank
latches.
Changing Paper Filter Bag and Cleaning Cloth
Filter
1. Remove motor head and set aside.
2. Clean the cloth fi lter each time the tank is emptied
by shaking off loose material and brushing the
fi lter with a soft bristle brush. Do not wash cloth
fi lter with water. Washing can shrink the fi lter and
damage the gasket.
3. Pull bag out of the tank using care not the tear bag
on intake tube. Seal bag with cardboard fl aps and
discard.
Using the Vacuum Cleaner To Collect Dust Cre-
ated By Tools:
Many tools (such as sanders) are designed so they
can be used with vacuum cleaners. The vaccum
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 using the tool’s AUTO/ON/OFF switch.
Vacuum cleaners without an AUTO setting can still
collect dust. The operator will simply have to turn the
vacuum on and off.
Using a Vacuum Cleaner without an Automatic
Switch as a Dust Collection Device for a Tool
1. Connect vaccum hose to the tool’s dust collection
port.
2. Turn on the vacuum cleaner.
3. Turn on tool.
Installing Filters
1. Remove motor head (A) and set aside.
Caution: Use care when handling motor head.
Dropping motor head may cause permanent
damage.
2. If you are using Cat. No. 8965, place foam fi lter
sleeve (B) over fl oat value cage.
3. Install only one of the following fi lters:
If you plan to vacuum dry material into a fi lter bag,
expand the paper fi lter bag
(E) and fi t cardboard collar
(G) onto the intake tube (F)
as far as possible.
If you plan to vacuum me-
dium fi ne to coarse, sharp
dry material directly into the
tank without a fi lter bag, fi t a
dacron fi lter onto
the cloth fi lter as-
sembly (C and D).
If you plan to vacu-
um extremely fi ne
material directly
into the tank with-
out a fi lter bag, fi t
a paper fi lter onto
the tank.
Using a Vacuum Cleaner with an Automatic
Switch as a Dust Collection Device for a Tool
1. Connect vacuum hose to the tool.
2. Plug the tool into the electrical outlet on the
vacuum cleaner’s motor head.
3. Set the AUTO/ON/OFF switch to the AUTO position.
4. Turn on the tool and the vacuum cleaner will start
automatically within a few seconds.

Cat. No. 8965 does not need a wet adapter for picking
up wet materials. The safety valve is already built in
to the 8965 vaccum cleaner. Do not remove the foam
fi lter sleeve. It is designed to be used with both wet
and dry materials.
Installing Wet Adapter
1. Remove motorhead and set
aside.
2. Set wet adapter into tank.
3. Replace motorhead and snap
down tank latches.
Removing Liquid from the Vacuum
Tank on Vacuum Cleaners with
Drain Valves
1. Center drain valve over fl oor drain.
2. Open drain valve.
For Cat. No. 8925, open drain valve by turning the
drain valve handle counter clockwise. To closed-
rain valve trun clockwise.
For Cat. No. 8924 and 8926, open drain valve by
pulling up on the handle. To close push down on
handle.
3. Drain.
4. Rinse, dry tank and close drain valve.
Removing Liquid from the Vacuum Tank on
Vacuum Cleaners without Drain Valves
1. Remove motorhead and wet adapter and set aside.
2. Block wheels.
3. Carefully dump contents into fl oor drain.
4. Rinse and dry tank.
Do not store vacuum cleaner with liquid in tank. Run
the vacuum for about 5 minutes without picking up
anything to dry the inside of the tank.
WARNING
If the fl oat is
clean, moves freely and the suction does not
shut off when the tank is fi lled (you will be
able to see water in the exhaust port), send
the motorhead to the nearest MILWAUKEE
service facility for repair.
Using the Vacuum as a Blower
1. Attached hose exhaust port on the motorhead.
2. Attach the appropriate accessory to the hose.
3. Turn the vacuum on.
WARNING
To reduce the risk
of injury: wear safety glasses and a dustmask
when using the vacuum cleaner as a blower.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the
general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE”
until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service
facility for the following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spin-
dles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
WARNING
To reduce the
risk of injury, electric shock and damage to
the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or
allow a liquid to fl ow inside the tool.
WARNING
To reduce
the risk of injury, always unplug your tool
before performing any maintenance. Never
disassemble the tool or try to do any rewir-
ing on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool
handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use
only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your
tool since certain cleaning agents and solvents
are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts.
Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents containing
ammonia. Never use fl ammable or combustible
solvents around tools.
Storage
Before storing the vacuum cleaner, always empty
and clean the tank. Never allow debris to sit in
the tank for any extended period of time. The
vacuum cleaner should be stored indoors.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the
nearest service center.
