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 the 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.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne
flammables. Do not operate Vac near flamma-
ble liquids or in areas with flammable gases,
vapors, or explosive airborne dust. Flammable
liquids, gases, and vapors include: lighter fluid,
solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, gasoline,
alcohol, and aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal,
magnesium, aluminum, grain, and gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, flammable
liquids, or hot ashes.
• Do not leave sawdust or rags with stain or
polyurethane residue inside Vac. Empty drum
after picking up these potentially self-heating
materials.
WARNING:
!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter
motor compartment. Store indoors.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet
hands.
• Unplug Vac before servicing. 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 at
1-888-331-4569 (Mexico 001-881-331-4569).
• 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.
CAUTION:
!
To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear
protectors when using the Vac / Blower for extended
time or in a noisy area.

Polarized Plug

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this Vac 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.
After you Plug the Power Cord into the Outlet, turn the Unit
on by pushing the Switch from position "O" to position "l".
The symbols used on the Switch Actuator are International
"On & Off" Symbols:
= OFF

Vacuuming Dry Materials

1. The Filter must always be in correct position to reduce
the risk of leaks and possible damage to Vac.
2. When using your Vac to pick up very fine dust, it will
be necessary for you to empty the Drum and clean the
Filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak Vac
performance.
NOTE: A dry Filter is necessary to pick up dry material.
If you use your Vac to pick up dust when the Filter is wet,
the Filter will clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
