4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA- or ETL-
listed extension cord recommended for indoor use only.
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. The extension cord plug will fit into the polarized
wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug, extension cord
receptacle or extension cord plug in any way.
5. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
6. Do not abuse the cord. Never pull the wet/dry vacuum
by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from the
receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system, and should be performed only by qualified
service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe

dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance
must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated
appliance is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or
“Double Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This electric wet/dry vacuum is double-insulated, eliminating
the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions before servicing
double-insulated appliances. Use this wet/dry vacuum only as
described in this manual.

WARNING
m
Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the electric wet/dry vacuum
to make contact with water while it is in operation. If
the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry
before starting.
• Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. The wet/
dry vacuum comes equipped with a 6 ft power cable.
Combined cord length must not exceed 31 ft. Any
extension cord must be 18-gauge (or heavier) to
safely power the wet/dry vacuum.
• Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots
offers some protection.
