• Do not leave Vac when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before servicing.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite
flammable vapors or dust. To reduce
the risk of fire or explosion, do not use
near combustible liquids, gases, or
dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels,
lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints,
natural gas, coal dust, magnesium
dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun
powder.
• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic
vapors, do not vacuum or use near
toxic or hazardous materials.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not expose to rain or allow liquid to
enter motor compartment. Store
indoors.
• This Ash Vac is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
• Do not use with a torn filter or without
filter and filter screen installed.
Dry debris ingested by the impeller
may damage the motor or be
exhausted into the air.
• Turn off Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning filter.
• 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 handle plug, switch, or the Vac
with wet hands.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord
as handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run vac over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Only use extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use, such as SJW
or SJTW. Use only three-wire outdoor
extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and grounding
receptacles that accept the vac's plug.
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. (8 to 15 m)
long and 12 gauge for 50 ft. (15 m)
or longer.
• Connect only to a properly-grounded
outlet. See grounding instructions
• 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
debris. Partially empty by scooping out
debris.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to Vac, use only Ridgid
recommended accessories.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety eyewear. The operation of any
utility Vac can result in foreign objects
being blown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage.
