DOUBLE INSULATION INSTRUCTIONS
EXTENSION CORDS
This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use
only identical replacements parts. Read the instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry
Vacs before servicing. Use this Wet/Dry Vac as described in this manual. Observe the following
warnings that appear on the motor housing of your Wet/Dry Vac.
When using an extension cord with your Wet/Dry Vac refer to the following table to determine
the required A.W.G. wire size. Before using the vacuum cleaner, make sure the power cord and
extension cord are in good working condition. Make repairs or replacements before using the
vacuum cleaner. Only use extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.
• DO NOT use without filters in place.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS, UNPLUG BEFORE
SERVICING.
CAUTION:
Do not vacuum drywall dust or fireplace soot or ash with standard Wet/Dry filter. This is a very fine
dust which will not be captured by the filter and may cause damage to motor. When vacuuming
fine dust use a fine dust filter (sold separately).
DOUBLE INSULATED - GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED - WHEN SERVICING USE
ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN.
