IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION: Read all safety rules carefully

sparks that can cause a fire or explosion. Never
operate unattended.
The Shop-Vac
®
Wet/Dry vacuum cleaners are for
vacuuming wet and dry nonvolatile materials. This drum
top vacuum is equipped with a powerful, permanently
lubricated, two-stage bypass motor. Standard filtration
systems handle dry or wet pickup. Double filtration is
available for most Shop-Vac models and is standard on
Shop-Vac commercial vacuums. Automatic float shutoff
prevents overflow during wet pickup. Includes 1½" (3.81 cm)
diameter accessories.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY:
1. Do not leave appliance unattended when plugged
in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing. Connect to a properly grounded outlet
only. See Grounding Instructions on page 2.
2. Do not expose to rain—store indoors.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in these instructions. Use only
manufacturer's recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance
is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water,
contact Uline Customer Service for assistance.
6. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle,
close a door on cord, pull cord around sharp edges
or corners or run appliance over cord.
7. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
8. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
9. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
10. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any openings blocked. Keep free of dust, lint, hair
and anything that may reduce air flow.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of
body away from openings and moving parts.
12. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking,
such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
13. Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place.
14. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
15. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
16. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible
liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they
may be present.
17. Do not use as a sprayer of flammable liquids, such
as oil-base paints, lacquers, household cleaners, etc.
18. Do not vacuum toxic, carcinogenic, combustible or
other hazardous materials, such as asbestos, arsenic,
barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health-
endangering materials. Specially designed units are
available for these purposes.
19. Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust
without cartridge filter and collection filter bag in
place. These are very fine particles that may pass
through the foam and affect the performance of the
motor or be exhausted back into the air.
20. Do not leave the cord lying on the floor after
cleaning. It can become a tripping hazard.
21. Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
22. To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty tank after
each use.
23. The operation of a utility vacuum can result in
foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can
result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
when operating vacuum.
