except when
• When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work area.
- Do not direct air at bystanders.
- Keep children away when blowing.
- Do not use blower for any job except
blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
- Wear safety eyewear.
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 eyewear
complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada
CSA Z94.3) before starting operation.
Everyday eyeglasses are not safety
glasses and could seriously hurt you when
they break.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: 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.
WARNING: 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.
Extension Cord Length Gauge A.W.G.
0-50 Ft.
50-100 Ft.
This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate

for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry
Vacs before servicing.
