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. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on package. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at many local retail stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI or CSA could seriously hurt you when they break.

WEAR YOUR

FORESIGHT IS

BETTER THAN

NO SIGHT

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

For dusty operations, wear dust mask.

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. When using an extension cord, be sure it is in good condition. Using any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum, use the following table to choose the minimum wire size extension cord.

Introduction

This Wet/Dry Vac is intended for house- hold use only. This Wet/Dry vac is supplied with a two stage/high efficiency filter. It can be used not only to pick up materials like sawdust and gravel but also ultra fine material like drywall dust and cold fireplace ash. Material that is so small it would pass through traditional filters. Refer to Filter Replacement section for proper filter selection.
