• 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. To reduce the risk of these
hazards when using an extension cord,
be sure it is in good condition and that
the connection does not come into
contact with liquid. To keep power loss
to a minimum, use the following table
to choose the minimum wire size
extension cord.
Extension Cord Length Gauge A.W.G.

50-100 Ft.
! CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for
extended hours using it in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
NOTE: Static shocks are common in
dry areas or when the relative humidity of
the air is low. Vacuuming fine debris with
your Vac can deposit static charge on the
hose or on the Vac. The best remedy to
reduce the frequency of static shocks in
your home or when using this Vac is to
add moisture to the air with a humidifier.
Observe the following warnings that
appear on the motor housing of your Vac:
DOUBLE INSULATED
GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY

not pick up hot ashes, coals, toxic,
flammable or other hazardous
materials. Do not use around
explosive liquids or vapors.
