WARNING: If safety information is not followed, someone could be seriously injured or
killed.
CAUTION: If safety information is not followed someone may be injured.
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
When using your Wet/Dry Vacuum follow basic safety precautions including the following:
• Do not run the Wet/Dry Vacuum unattended.
• Do not vacuum, or use this Wet/Dry Vacuum near liquids, gases, or explosive vapours like gasoline or
similar fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil based paints, natural gas or hydrogen. Do not vacuum or use
this Wet/Dry Vacuum near explosive dusts like coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, or gun powder,
as sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapours or dust.
• Do not vacuum burning or smoking items such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not use if the cord, plug or other parts are damaged.
• If your Wet/Dry Vacuum is not working correctly or has missing parts, has been dropped or damaged,
left outdoors or dropped in water, return it to an authorized service centre.
• Do not pull or carry by the cord. Do not use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the
cord around sharp edges or corners.
• Do not run the Wet/Dry Vacuum over the cord.
• Do not handle the plug or the Wet/Dry Vacuum with wet hands.
• To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapours or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials.

SAFETY WARNINGS
5
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
WARNING: For your own safety, read and understand this instruction manual. Do not
operate unattended. Do not use this Wet/Dry Vacuum to pick up hot ashes, coals, toxic,
flammable or other hazardous materials. Do not use near explosive liquids or vapours.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum drywall dust or cold fireplace soot or ash with a standard
Wet/Dry filter. This dust is very fine and hence will not be captured by the filter and may
cause damage. Refer to the operation section for proper filter selection.
• Do not use the Wet/Dry Vacuum as a toy. Pay particularly close attention when it is being used by or
near children.
• To reduce the risk of injury from the Wet/Dry Vacuum accidentally starting, unplug the power cord
before changing or cleaning the filter.
• Do not leave the Wet/Dry Vacuum unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug it from the power outlet
when not in use and before servicing. Turn off the Wet/Dry Vacuum before unplugging.
• Do not put any objects into the ventilation openings. Do not vacuum with any ventilation openings
blocked.
• Keep free of dust, lint, hair or any other items that may reduce the air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from openings and moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of falling, use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
When using as blower:
• Direct air discharge only at the work area.
• Do not direct air at bystanders.
• Do not use near children.
• Do not use blower for any purpose other than blowing dirt and debris.
• Do not use Wet/Dry Vacuum as a sprayer.
This Wet/Dry Vacuum is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use
only identical replacements parts. Read the servicing instructions before servicing the Wet/Dry Vacuum.
Use this Wet/Dry Vacuum only as described in this manual.
Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of the Wet/Dry Vacuum.
DOUBLE-INSULATED, GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.

SAFETY WARNINGS
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, unplug before servicing.
WARNING: SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM
In a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vacuum, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No method of grounding is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should
one be added. Servicing a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vacuum requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vacuum must be identical to the parts that
are being replaced. This Wet/Dry Vacuum is marked with the words ‘DOUBLE INSULATED’
and the symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
• For household use only.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug before cleaning or servicing.
• DO NOT use without filters in place.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use indoors only.
POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance 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. Double-insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire,
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
