SAFETY CONTINUED
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. When using more than
one extension to make up total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. Following table shows correct
size to use. If in doubt, use next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal
hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6
(S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Always use safety goggles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety goggles. Also use
face or dust mask if area operation is dusty.
Always wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection
To reduce exposure to these chemicals, wear
approved safety equipment such as dust masks that
are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
For convenience and safety, the following warning
label is on vacuum:
WARNING: This is a double insulated wet/
dry vacuum. In a double-insulated wet/dry
vacuum, 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 vacuum
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 vacuum must be
identical to the parts they replace. Double-
insulated wet/dry vacuum is marked with
words "double insulated" and the symbol
(square within a square) may also be marked
on the appliance. To reduce risk of injury
from electrical shock, unplug power cord
before servicing electrical parts of the wet/dry
vacuum.
IMPORTANT: If supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard
IMPORTANT: Remove plug from socket before
performing maintenance. Before using
machine ensure frequency and voltage shown
on the rating plate correspond with main
voltage. Specifications and details are subject
to change without prior notice. The accessories
shown in the pictures may vary from model to
model.
IMPORTANT: Symbol on product or packaging
indicates that product must not be treated
as domestic refuse. Instead, it should be
handed in to a collection point
for the recycling of electrical and
electronic components.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, users
must read instruction manual. Do not run
unattended. Do not pick up flammable,
combustible or hot materials. Do not use
around explosive dust, liquids or vapors.
Electrical devices produce arcs or sparks
which can cause fire or explosion. Do not
use at filling stations or anywhere gasoline is
stored or dispensed. Do not vacuum toxic or
carcinogenic materials or other
health-endangering materials such as
asbestos or pesticides. Always use proper eye
and respiratory protection. To reduce risk of
electrical shock, do not expose to rain. Store
indoors. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Do not use as a step stool.
