• Do not use to vacuum combustible explosive
materials, such as coal, grain, or other finely divided
combustible materials.
• Do not use to vacuum hazardous, toxic or

• Never pick up explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, diesel

Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact
when working with these materials. Request and
follow any safety information available from the
material supplier.
• Do not use vacuum as a step ladder.
• Do not place heavy objects on vacuum.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has
more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be sure each
individual extension cord contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows
