SAVE THIS MANUAL

 FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed including the 
following: 

WARNING:

 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY: 

• 

Do not

 

run vac unattended. 

• 

Do not vacuum, or use this Wet/Dry Vac near flammable liquids, gases, or explosive vapors like gasoline 

or other fuels, lighter fluids, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, or explosive dusts like coal 
dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, or gun power.  Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or 
dust. 

• 

Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. 

• 

Keep cord away from heated surfaces. 

• 

Do not expose to rain. Store indoors. 

• 

Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. 

• 

Do not use with damaged cord, plug or other parts. 

• If the appliance is not working as it should, has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, 

or dropped into water, return it to a service center. 

• 

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or 

corners. 

• 

Do not run Wet/Dry Vac over cord. 

• 

Do not handle plug or the Wet/Dry Vac with wet hands. 

• 

To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials. 

• 

Do not use or store near hazardous materials. 

• 

Do not use this Wet/Dry Vac with a torn filter or without the filter installed except when vacuuming liquids 

as described in the operation section of this manual. 

• 

Do not

 

allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. 

• 

To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter. 

• 

Do not leave Wet/Dry Vac unattended when plugged in.  Unplug from outlet when not in use and before  

  servicing.   

• 

Turn off Wet/Dry Vac before unplugging. 

• 

Do not put any object into ventilation openings. Do not vacuum with any ventilation openings blocked; 

keep free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce air flow. 

• 

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts. 

• 

To reduce the risk of falls, use extra care when cleaning on stairs. 

 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly 

qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. 

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or 

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or 
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safely. 

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 

• 

For additional protection: It is recommended that this vac can be used in conjunction with residual current 

device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.

 

 

 
When using as blower: 

• 

Direct air discharge only at work area.

  

• 

Do not use Wet/Dry Vac as a sprayer. 

• 

Do not direct air at bystanders. 

• 

Keep children away when blowing. 

• 

Use safety goggles.
