staying alert, and knowing how your Wet/
Dry Vacuum Cleaner (“Vac”) works.
Safety Signal Words

in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Indicates
a hazardous situation which, if not

injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous

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 Wet/Dry 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, and
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.
• This Wet/Dry Vac 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 safety.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
