If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper Outlet.
Do not change the Plug in any way.

capability to work site. Provides the
means of attaching extension wands and
nozzles.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vac:
• Do not leave Vac running while unattended - you may fail to notice important
signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris exiting
the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if you
notice these signs.
• Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in use.
• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Do not operate
Vac near flammable liquids or in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or
explosive/airborne dust. Flammable liquids, gases, and vapors include:
lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol, and
aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminum, grain,
and gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
• Do not leave sawdust or rags with stain or polyurethane residue inside Vac.
Empty drum after picking up these potentially self-heating materials.

• Unplug Vac before servicing. If your Vac is not working properly, has missing
parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water,
return it to an authorized service center or call customer service.
• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in good
condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with liquid.
