IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety is a combination of common 
sense, staying alert and knowing how 
your vac works. Read this manual to 
understand the vac.

Safety Signal Words

DANGER: means if the safety information 
is not followed someone will be seriously 
injured or killed.

WARNING: means if the safety informa-
tion is not followed someone could be 
seriously injured or killed.

CAUTION: means if the safety informa-
tion is not followed someone may be 
injured.

When using your Wet/Dry Vac, follow 
basic safety precautions including the fol-
lowing.

WARNING

 - To reduce 

the risk of fire, electric shock, or 
injury:

Read and understand this owner’s manual 
and all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before 
operating. Use only as described in this 
manual. To reduce the risk of personal 

injury or damage to Wet/Dry Vac, use only 
RIDGID recommended accessories.
Sparks inside the motor can ignite flam-
mable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk 
of fire or explosion:

• Do not vacuum, or use this Wet/Dry Vac 

near, flammable or combustible liquids, 
gases, or explosive dusts like gasoline 
or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil- 
based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, 
coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, 
or gun powder.

• Do not use Wet/Dry Vac as a sprayer.

Do not vacuum anything that is burning or 
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or 
hot ashes.

Do not vacuum fireplace soot or ash. This 
is a very fine dust which will not be cap-
tured by the filter and may cause damage.

To reduce the risk of health hazards from 
vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic 
materials.
Do not use or store near hazardous materials.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not 
expose to rain. Store indoors.
