Safety Signal Words

situation which, if not avoided, will result

in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could

CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous

When using your Vac, always follow basic

safety precautions including the following:

WARNING

- To reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock, or injury:

• Read and understand this manual and

all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before

operating.

• Use only as described in this manual.

• Do not leave Vac running while

unattended - you may fail to notice

important signs indicating abnormal

operation such as loss of suction,

debris/liquid exiting exhaust, or

abnormal motor noises. Immediately

stop using Vac if you notice these

signs.

• 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.

• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold

fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with

standard filter. These may pass

through the filter and be exhausted

back into the air. Use a fine dust filter

instead.

• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic

vapors, do not vacuum or use near

toxic or hazardous materials.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock,

do not expose to rain or allow liquid to

enter motor compartment. Store

indoors.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy.

Close attention is necessary when

used by or near children.

• 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.

• Do not leave Vac when plugged in.

Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before servicing.

• Turn off Vac before unplugging.

•

o reduce the risk of injury from

accidental starting, unplug power cord

before changing or cleaning filter

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To

unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
