IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your Wet/Dry Vac works.
Safety Signal Words
!DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
!WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
!CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
When using your Wet/Dry Vac (“Vac”), always follow basic safety precautions including the following:
!WARNING - To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•Read and understand this operator’s manual and all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before operating.
•Use only as described in this manual.
•Do not leave Vac running while unattended.
•Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, Do not vacuum or use near flammable or combustible liquids, gases, or explosive dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil- based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, coal dust, magnesium dust, aluminum dust, grain dust, or gun powder.
•Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
•Do not vacuum drywall dust or cold fireplace soot or ash with standard filter. This is a very fine dust which may be exhausted back into the air. Use a fine dust filter instead.
•To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dust, do not vacuum toxic materials.
•Do not use or store near hazardous materials.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
•Do not use with a torn filter or without the filter installed except when vacuuming liquids as described in the Operation section of this manual. Dry debris ingested by the impeller may damage the motor or be exhausted back into the air.
•Do not leave Vac plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
•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.
