Operation
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or damage to Vac:
• Do not leave Vac running while unattended - you may fail to notice important
signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris/liquid
exiting exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if you
notice these signs.
• Do not leave Vac plugged-in when not in use.
• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
• Do not operate Vac in areas with flammable gases, vapors or explosive dust
in the air. Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne flammables. Flammable
gases
and
vapors
oil-based paints, gasoline, alcohol, or aerosol sprays. Flammable dusts
include: coal, magnesium, aluminum, grain, or gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable liquids, or hot ashes.
• Do not use Vac as a sprayer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter the motor compartment. Store
indoors.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
• Do not service Vac while it is plugged-in. If your Vac is not working as it
should, has missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to an independent service center or call
customer service.
• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in good
condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with liquid.
• Do not vacuum toxic materials to reduce the risk of inhaling the vapors or
dust.
