• Read and understand this owner's
manual and all labels on the Wet/Dry
Vac before operating.
• Use only as described in this manual.
• Do not leave Vac running while
unattended.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite
flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the
risk of fire or explosion:
- Do not vacuum
flammable or combustible liquids,
gases, or explosive dusts, such as
gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid,
cleaners, oil-based paints, natural
gas, hydrogen, coal dust, magnesium
dust, aluminum dust, grain dust, or
gun powder.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such
matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not vacuum fireplace soot or ash.
This is a very fine dust which may not be
captured by the standard filter and may
be exhausted back into the air.
