CAUTION:
!
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage, wear ear
protectors when using for extended time or in a
noisy area.

• Static shocks are common when the relative
humidity of the air is low. Vacuuming fine
debris with your Vac can deposit static charge
on the hose or Vac. To reduce the frequency of
static shocks in your home or when using this
Vac, add moisture to the air with a humidifier.
