11. Disconnect the tool – Disconnect the vacuum from the
power supply when it is not in use, before servicing it,
when changing accessories and when performing any
other maintenance task.
12. Store idle tool indoors – When not in use, the vacuum
should be stored indoors in a dry and locked-up place out
of the reach of children.
13. Maintain the vacuum with care – Keep the air inlet/outlet
and the fan area clear and clean for optimal performance
and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect the extension
cord periodically and immediately replace it if damaged.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Follow the additional recommendations described in the
maintenance section of this manual.
14. Use the right tool – Do not use the tool for any job except
that for which it is intended.
15. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not use the
vacuum in rain, damp or wet locations. Do not operate
the vacuum in gaseous or explosive atmospheres or use
the vacuum to pick up flammable or combustible liquids.
Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks
might ignite fumes.
16. Stay alert – Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate the vacuum when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other medication.
17. Check Damaged Parts – Before further use of the
appliance, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in
this manual.

properly grounded.
• Never let children operate the unit.
• Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts
and all hot surfaces of the unit.
• Do not put any object into the tool's openings. Do not use
the tool with any opening blocked; keep openings free of
dust, lint, hair or any other object that may reduce air flow.
• Check the work area before each use. Remove all objects
such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire or string which can
be thrown or become entangled in the machine.
• Service on the product must be performed by qualified
repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user or
damage to the product.

Commercial use of this product is prohibited and will void
the manufacturer's warranty.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid.
Clean the unit after each use as described in the cleaning
and storage section.
• Prevent cords, plastic bags, or similar items from getting
sucked in, as these might wrap around the impeller fan,
which may cause an overload or blocking of the motor.
In such a case, switch the vacuum off. Do not leave the
vacuum switched on with the motor overloaded or stalled.
• Always operate the machine in an upright position. Do not
operate it tilted to one side or even upside-down.

Electrical Safety

1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
vacuum. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
