Extension Cords - Vacmaster VF408 Operator's Manual

DOUBLE INSULATION INSTRUCTIONS
This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use
only identical replacements parts. Read the instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry
Vacs before servicing. Use this Wet/Dry Vac as described in this manual. Observe the following
warnings that appear on the motor housing of your Wet/Dry Vac.
DOUBLE INSULATED - GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED - WHEN SERVICING USE
ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN.
STORE INDOORS.
CAUTION:
Do not vacuum drywall dust or fireplace soot or ash with standard Wet/Dry filter. This is a very fine
dust which will not be captured by the filter and may cause damage to motor. When vacuuming
fine dust use a fine dust filter (sold separately).
WARNING:
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM
WITH A DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM, TWO SYSTEMS OF INSULATION ARE
PROVIDED INSTEAD OF GROUNDING. NO GROUNDING MEANS IS PROVIDED ON A
DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE, NOR SHOULD A MEANS FOR GROUNDING BE ADDED.
SERVICING A DOUBLE INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM REQUIRES EXTREME CARE AND
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SYSTEM, AND SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL. REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM
MUST BE IDENTICAL TO THE PARTS THEY REPLACE. YOUR DOUBLE-INSULATED
WET/DRY VAC IS MARKED WITH THE WORDS 'DOUBLE INSULATED' AND THE SYMBOL
(SQUARE WITHIN A SQUARE) MAY ALSO BE MARKED ON THE APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT use without filters in place.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS, UNPLUG BEFORE
SERVICING.
