Safety is a combination of common sense,
staying alert, and knowing how your Wet/
Dry vacuum cleaner (“Vac”) works.
Safety Signal Words
DANGER:

not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING:
Indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury or property damage.
When using your Vac, always follow basic
safety precautions including the following:
WARNING:
- To reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury:
• Read and understand this manual and
all labels on the Vac before operating.
• Use only as described in this manual.
• Do not leave Vac running while
unattended - you may fail to notice
important signs indicating abnormal
operation such as loss of suction, debris/
liquid exiting exhaust, or abnormal
motor noises. Immediately stop using
Vac if you notice these signs.
!
• Do not leave Vac when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite
flammable vapors or dust. To reduce
the risk of fire or explosion, do not
vacuum or use near flammable or
combustible liquids, gases, or
dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels,
lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints,
natural gas, coal dust, magnesium
dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun
powder.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
• To avoid the risk of self-ignition of drum
debris, empty drum after each use.
Combustible materials, such as rags or
sawdust containing stain or urethane,
can be sources of such overheating.
• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold
fireplace ash, or other fine dusts with
standard filter. These may pass through
the filter and be exhausted back into the
air. Use a fine dust filter instead.
• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic
vapors, do not vacuum or use near toxic
or hazardous materials.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not expose to rain or allow liquid to
enter motor compartment. Store indoors.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
