• Do not leave Vac when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
• 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, and
gun powder.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
• To avoid the risk of self-ignition of drum
debris, empty drum after each use.
Combustible materials, such as rags or
sawdust containing stain or urethane,
can be sources of such overheating.
• 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.
• This Wet/Dry Vac is not intended for
use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
