ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

• 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 W-A or W following the cord type designation. For
example – SJTW-A to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
