OPERATION
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
Vac has a Polarized Plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This Plug will fit in
a Polarized Outlet only one way. If the
Plug does not fit fully in the Outlet, reverse
the Plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper
Outlet. Do not change the Plug in any way.
With Power Cord plugged in, turn the Vac
“ON” by pressing in on the “I” (top) on the
Power Switch. To turn “OFF” press the “O”
(bottom) of the Power Switch.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vac:
• 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 the exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac
if you notice these signs.
• Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in use.
• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Do not operate
Vac near flammable liquids or in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or
explosive/airborne dust. Flammable liquids, gases, and vapors include:
lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol, and
aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminum,
grain, and gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
• Do not leave sawdust or rags with stain or polyurethane residue inside Vac.
Empty drum after picking up these potentially self-heating materials.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment.
Store indoors.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
• Unplug Vac before servicing. If your Vac is not working as it should, has
missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to an authorized service center or call customer service.
• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in
good condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with
liquid.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the Vac/Blower for extended time or in a noisy area.
