• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord
as handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac
with wet hands.
• Use only grounded extension cords that
are rated for outdoor use. Extension
cords in poor condition or too small in
wire size can pose fire and shock
hazards. To reduce the risk of these
hazards, be sure the cord is in good
condition and that liquid does not
contact the connection. Do not use an
extension cord with conductors smaller
than 16 gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce
power loss, use a 14 gauge extension
cord if 25 to 50 ft. long and 12 gauge for
50 ft. or longer.
• Do not put any object into ventilation
openings. Do not vacuum with any
ventilation openings blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair or anything that may
reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of falls, use extra
care when cleaning on stairs.
• To reduce the risk of back injury or
falls, do not lift a Vac that is heavy with
debris. Partially empty the Vac by
scooping debris to make it comfortable
to lift.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to Vac, use only Ridgid
recommended accessories.
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.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, 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.

• To reduce the risk of being struck by, or
pulled down by, a rolling Vac, block the
wheels when using on any uneven or
sloped surface.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet
only. See Grounding Instructions.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for
extended time or in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
• Static shocks are common when
vacuuming fine debris such as drywall
dust or concrete dust, especially in
low-humidity conditions. To reduce the
risk of static shocks when using this
Vac, add moisture to the environment
with a humidifier. To further reduce the
possibility of static shock, this Vac can
also be used with a grounded, static-
dissipating hose which can be
purchased as an optional accessory.
Observe the following warnings that
appear on the motor housing of your Vac:
WARNING: For your safety, read
and understand owner's manual.
Do not run unattended. Do not pick
up hot ashes, coals, toxic,
flammable, or other hazardous
materials. Do not use around
explosive liquids or vapors.
WARNING: To Reduce The Risk
Of Electric Shock – Do not expose
to rain. Store indoors.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of
static shock, use the VT2580 static-
dissipating hose.
