Turn off Vac before unplugging.

To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter.

Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Do not use with damaged cord, plug or other parts. If your Vac is not working as it should, has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to an Authorized Service Center.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac with wet hands.

Do not put any object into ventilation openings. Do not vacuum with any ventilation openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce air flow.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

To reduce the risk of falls, use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

To reduce the risk of back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid or debris. Partially empty the Vac by scooping or draining liquid to make it comfortable to lift.

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to Vac, use only Ridgid recommended accessories.

When using as a blower:

-Direct air discharge only at work area.

-Do not direct air at bystanders.

-Keep children away when blowing.

-Do not use blower for any job except blowing dirt and debris.

-Do not use as a sprayer.

-Wear safety eyewear.

To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear safety eyewear. The operation of any utility Vac or blower can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.

This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions for Servicing Double- Insulated Wet/Dry Vacs before servicing.

Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor condition or that are too small in wire size can pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce the risk of these hazards when using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition and that the connection does not come into contact with liquid. To keep power loss to a minimum, use the following table to choose the minimum wire size extension cord.

!CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using for extended hours or using in a noisy area.

For dusty operations, wear dust mask.

NOTE: Static shocks are common in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is low. Vacuuming fine debris with your Vac can deposit static charge on the hose or on the Vac. The best remedy to reduce the frequency of static shocks in your home or when using this Vac is to add moisture to the air with a humidifier.

Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of your Vac:

DOUBLE INSULATED GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

! WARNING: For your own safety, read and understand operator’s manual. Do not run unattended. Do not pick up hot ashes, coals, toxic, flammable or other hazardous materials. Do not use around explosive liquids or vapors.
