• 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
filter installed except when vacuuming
liquids as described in this manual.
Dry debris ingested by the impeller
may damage the motor or be
exhausted into the air.
• Turn off Vac before unplugging.
• To 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.
• Do not use with damaged cord, plug or other
parts. If your Vac is not working as it should,
has missing parts, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, call customer service.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as
handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac with
wet hands.
• This Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the
need for a separate grounding system. Use
only identical replacement parts. Read the
instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated
Wet/Dry Vacs.
• Use only 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.
(8 to 15 m) long and 12 gauge for 50 ft.
(15 m) 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.
