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 use near
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.
• Do not use with a torn filter or without
filter installed except when vacuuming
liquids as described in this manual.
Dry debris ingested by the impeller may
damage the motor or be exhausted into
the air.
