When using your Vacuum, always follow basic safety precautions including the
following:
WARNING:
!
1. Read and understand this manual and all labels on the Wet/Dry Vacuum before
operating.
2. Use only as described in this manual.
3. Do not leave Vacuum running while unattended - you may fail to notice
important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction,
debris/liquid exiting the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop
using Vacuum if you notice these signs.
4. Do not leave Vacuum when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
5. Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk
of fire or explosion, do not use near combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as
gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, coal
dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.
6. Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches,
or hot ashes.
7. To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors, do not vacuum or use near toxic or
hazardous materials.
8. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or allow liquid to
enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
9. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
10. Do not use with a torn filter or without the filter installed except when
vacuuming liquids as described in this manual. Dry debris ingested by the
impeller may damage the motor or be exhausted back into the air.
11. Turn off Vacuum before unplugging.
12. To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before
changing or cleaning filter.
13. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
14. Do not use with damaged cord, plug, or other parts. If your Vacuum is not
working as it should, has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, call customer service.
15. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
16. Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vacuum with wet hands.
