• 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, or gun powder.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold
fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with

the filter and be exhausted back into the
air. Use a fine dust filter instead.

vapors, do not vacuum or use near
toxic or hazardous materials.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not expose to rain or allow liquid to
enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.

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.
