Operation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vac:
• Do not leave Vac running while unattended - you may fail to notice
important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction,
debris exiting the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop
using Vac if you notice these signs.
• Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in use.
• The vacuum must be emptied after every use of ash pickup.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Do not operate
Vac near flammable liquids or in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or
explosive/airborne dust. Flammable liquids, gases, and vapors include:
lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol, and
aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminum,
grain, and gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment.
Store indoors.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
• Unplug Vac before servicing. 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 or call customer service.
• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in
good condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with
liquid.

Motor/Electrical

This Ash Vacuum is rated for use with
120 volt 60 Hz supply. The Vac is
equipped with a thermal protection cutoff
switch which will remove power from the
vacuum motor if excessively high
operating temperatures are detected.
This condition may arise as the result
of a blocked vacuum passage, or clogged
filter. If a thermal trip takes place,
immediately toggle the vacuum's switch
to OFF, unplug the unit and inspect for
an airflow blockage in the hose and verify
the condition of the filters (see
Maintenance). Clean or replace the filters
as required. The vacuum will require
several minutes to cool down to a safe
operating temperature. When this
temperature is attained, the thermal
switch will automatically reset and the
vacuum will be able to be used in the
normal manner.
After you plug the power cord into the
outlet, turn the unit on by pushing the
switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the switch actuator
are international "On & Off" symbols.
