avoided. These materials are extremely abrasive, and
while the VAC 35 will handle moderate amounts of
these materials, it is not designed for heavy
applications. Treat your VAC 35 with reasonable care
and it will repay you with long, trouble-free service.

The VAC 35 will handle most common kinds of debris
found around industrial plants, commercial buildings,
homes and farms. Acid contaminated materials,
magnesium, dust and other DANGEROUS DEBRIS
that is considered hazardous should not be handled
with the VAC 35.
The efficiency of this unit depends on the breathing

capacity of the dust bag. Under extremely dusty
conditions the bag should be emptied and cleaned
frequently. Always empty and clean bag before storing
after use. Debris allowed to remain in the bag may
cause spontaneous combustion, resulting in an
explosion or fire. See instructions supplied with dust
bag.
