Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate vacuum cleaners in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases, or dust.
Appliances create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating the vacuum cleaner.
Do not allow

when used by or near children.
Electrical Safety
This vacuum cleaner intended only for use indoor
and for dry or wet pick-up.
The power tool outlet is grounded and the vacuum
cleaner must be plugged into an outlet properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove the ground-
ing prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualifi ed
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded.
If the vacuum clean-
ers should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
Do not insert objects like paper clips or screw-
drivers into power tool outlet.
The outlet is live
when the vacuum cleaner is plugged into power
source and switch is set to power tool activation
mode or fi lter cleaning mode. Electric shock may
occur.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded. If operating the vacuum cleaner
in damp locations is unavoidable; a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the
power to your vacuum cleaner. Electrician’s rub-
ber gloves and footwear will further enhance your
personal safety.
Don’t expose vacuum cleaner to rain or wet con-
ditions.
This vacuum cleaner can be used for pick-
ing up non-fl ammable liquids but it is not intended
to be immersed or submerged in a fl uid. Electric
shock may occur.
Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
Electric shock may occur.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the vacuum cleaner, pull the vacuum cleaner or
yank the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Re-
place damaged cords immediately. Don’t drive
over it or close a door on it
. Damaged cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
When operating a vacuum cleaner outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock. Refer to Recommended
sizes of Extension Cords in the Accessory section
