General Safety Rules

!WARNING Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate vacuums in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

Appliances create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the vacuum. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

Electrical Safety

This vacuum cleaner intended for use indoor / outdoor and for dry or wet pick- up.

The power tool outlet is grounded and the vacuum must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the vacuum should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

Do not insert objects like paper clips or screwdrivers into power tool outlet. The outlet is live when the vacuum is plugged into power source and switch is set to power tool activation mode or filter cleaning mode. Electric shock may occur.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. If operating the vacuum in damp locations is unavoidable; a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the power to your vacuum. Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

Don’t expose vacuum to rain or wet conditions. This vacuum can be used for picking up non-flammable liquids but it is not intended to be immersed or submerged in a fluid. Electric shock may occur.

Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands. Electric shock may occur.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the vacuum, pull the vacuum or yank the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Don’t drive over it or close a door on it. Damaged cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

When operating a vacuum outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer to Recommended sizes of Extension Cords in the Accessory section of this manual.

Personal Safety and Vacuum Use

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a vacuum. Do not use vacuum while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating vacuum may result in serious personal injury.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure vacuum and tool switches are OFF before plugging in or putting vacuum switch into power tool activation mode or filter cleaning mode. Do not keep power tool plugged into the vacuum cleaner’s power tool outlet during normal vacuuming.

Plugging in vacuums or tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance both for you and the vacuum at all times. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the vacuum in unexpected situations.

Do not vacuum burning, smoking or smoldering things like cigarettes,
