IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL 

INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS

VACUUM 

Read and understand this owner’s manual and 

all labels on the Wet/Dry Vacuum cleaner before 

operating. Safety is a combination of common 

sense, staying alert and knowing how your

vacuum works. Use this Wet/Dry Vac only as 

described in this manual. To reduce the risk of 

personal injury or damage to your Wet/Dry Vac, 

use only Craftsman recommended accessories. 

For household use only

SAVE THIS MANUAL

 

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

When using an electrical appliance, basic 
precautions should always be followed 
including the following:

WARNING:

 

TO REDUCE THE 

RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

  

• Do not run vac unattended.

• Do not vacuum, or use this 

Wet/Dry Vac

 

  near flammable liquids, gases, or 

  explosive vapors like gasoline or other 

  fuels, lighter fluids, cleaners, oil-based 

  paints, natural gas, hydrogen, or explosive 

  dusts like coal dust, magnesium dust,

  grain dust, or gun power. Sparks inside 

  

  

  the motor can ignite flammable vapors or 

  dust. 

• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or 

  smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or 

  hot ashes.

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

• 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 vac is not working as it should, has 

  been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or 

  dropped into water, take it to a service 

  dealer for inspection and repair before 

  using it again.

• 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 Wet/Dry Vac over cord.

• Do not handle plug or the Wet/Dry Vac 

   with wet hands.

• To reduce the risk of health hazards from 

  vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic 

  materials.

• Do not store near hazardous materials.

• Do not use this Wet/Dry Vac with a torn 

  filter or without the filter installed except 

  when vacuuming liquids as described in 

  the operation section of this manual.
