WARNING

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VAC

In a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac, two systems of insulation are provided 
instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated 
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-
insulated Wet/Dry Vac requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, 
and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts 
for a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac must be identical to the parts they replace. 
Your double-insulated Wet/Dry Vac is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSU-
LATED” and the symbol 

(square within a square) may also be marked on 

the appliance.

* Standard Hardware Item - May be purchased locally
† These replacement parts are available where you purchased your vac.
