SAVE THIS MANUAL
• 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.
• 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. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac with
wet hands.
• This 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.
• Use only polarized 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
16 gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce power
loss, use a 14 gauge extension cord if 25 to
50 ft. long and 12 gauge for 50 ft. or longer
.• 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 back injury or falls, do
not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid or
debris. Partially empty by scooping debris or
draining liquid.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to Vac, use only WORKSHOP
recommended accessories.
• When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work area.
- 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.
Observe the following warnings that
appear on the motor housing of your Vac:
DOUBLE INSULATED GROUNDING
NOT REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING
USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for
extended time or in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
• Static shocks are common when the
relative humidity of the air is low.
Vacuuming fine debris with your Vac
can deposit static charge on the hose
or Vac. To reduce the frequency of
static shocks in your home or when
using this Vac, add moisture to the air
with a humidifier.
