• Do not use with a torn filter or without
the filter installed except when
vacuuming liquids as described in this
manual. Dry Debris ingested by the
impeller may damage the motor or be
exhausted back into the air.
• Turn off Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning filter.
• 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 your Vac is not working
as it should, has missing parts, has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, call customer
service.
• 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 Vac over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac
with wet hands.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in
poor condition or too small in wire size
can pose fire and shock hazards.
To reduce the risk of these hazards,
be sure the cord is in good condition
and that liquid does not contact the
connection. Do not use an extension
cord with conductors smaller than
1,3 mm
2
(16 AWG).
• This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate
grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the
instructions for Servicing Double-
Insulated Wet/Dry Vacs.
• 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.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury
or damage to Vac, use only RIDGID
recommended accessories.
• When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work
area.
- Do not set down in liquid; electric
shock could occur.
- Do not direct air at bystanders.
- Keep children away when blowing.
- Do not use blower for any job except
blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety eyewear. The operation of
any utility Vac or blower can result in
foreign objects being blown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage.
