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
flammable 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 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, return it to an
independent service center or call customer service.
• Do not use an extension cord with this vacuum.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
Vac has an ALCI (Appliance Leakage
Current Interrupter) device with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). The ALCI may need to be
reset if it detects current leakage or if
the test button is pressed on the device.

The polarized plug will fit in a polarized

Do not change the plug in any way.
