To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using the vac for
extended hours or when using it in a noisy
area.
For dusty operations, wear dust mask.
Use only extension cords that are rated for
outdoor use. Extension cords in poor con-
dition or that are too small in wire size can
pose fire and shock hazards. When using
an extension cord, be sure it is in good
condition. Using any extension cord will
cause some loss of power. To keep the
loss to a minimum, use the following table
to choose the minimum wire size exten-
sion cord.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Please Read Carefully
Static Shocks Are Common - In dry
areas or when the relative humidity of the
air is low. To reduce the frequency of
static shocks in your home the best
remedy is to add moisture to the air with a
humidifier.
