the vac.

Safety Signal Words

injured or killed.

WARNING: means if the safety inform-

ation is not followed someone could be

CAUTION: means if the safety information

When using your Wet/Dry Vac, follow

basic safety precautions including the

following.

WARNING - To reduce the

risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

Read and understand this owner's manual

and all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before

operating. Use only as described in this

manual. To reduce the risk of personal

injury or damage to Wet/Dry Vac, use only

RIDGID recommended accessories.

Sparks inside the motor can ignite

flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the

risk of fire or explosion:

• Do not vacuum, or use this Wet/Dry

Vac, near flammable or combustible

liquids, gases, or explosive dusts,

like gasoline or other fuels, lighter

fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints,

natural gas, hydrogen, coal dust,

magnesium dust, grain dust, or gun

powder.

• Do not use Wet/Dry Vac as a sprayer.

• Do not vacuum anything that is

burning or smoking, such as

cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• Do not vacuum drywall dust or cold

fireplace soot or ash with standard

wet/dry filter. This is a very fine dust

which will not be captured by the filter

and may cause damage.

• To reduce the risk of health hazards

from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum

toxic materials.

• Do not use or store near hazardous

materials.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do

not expose to rain. Store indoors.
