ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
•Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (See Grounding Instructions).
•This vacuum meets the EPA
Contact the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for more information on their Renovations, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
•Do not use to vacuum combustible explosive materials, such as coal, grain, or other finely divided combustible material.
•Do not use to vacuum hazardous, toxic or carcinogenic materials, such as asbestos or pesticide.
•Never pick up explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, paint thinner, etc.), acids or solvents.
•Do not use vacuum without filters in place, except as described under Wet Pickup Applications.
•Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request and follow any safety information available from your material supplier.
•Do not use vacuum as a step ladder.
•Do not place heavy objects on vacuum.
•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
•If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix
