• Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or
dust. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not use near
combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as gasoline or
other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural
gas, coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum
dust, or gun powder. Do not use on a bucket that contains
residuals of such vapors or dusts.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as
cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• To avoid the risk of self-ignition of bucket debris, empty
bucket after each use. Combustible materials, such as rags
or saw dust containing stain or urethane, can be sources of
such overheating.
• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold fireplace ash, or other
fine dusts, which may pass through the filter bag and be
exhausted back into the air.
• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors, do not vacuum or
use near toxic or hazardous materials.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or
allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.

• This Wet/Dry Vac is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
• Do not use with a torn filter or without the filter
installed except when vacuuming liquids as described
in this manual. Dry debris ingested by the impeller may
damage the motor or be exhausted into the air.
• Turn off Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting,
unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
• Do not use with damaged cord, plug, or other parts.
If your Vac is not working as it should, has missing parts,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped
into water, call customer service at 1-888-331-4569
(Mexico 001-881-331-4569).
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as handle, close a
door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac with wet hands.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only extension
cords that are rated for outdoor use and have a grounding
conductor. Extension cords in poor condition or too small
in wire size can pose fire and shock hazards. To reduce
the risk of these hazards, be sure the cord is in good
condition and that liquid does not contact the
connection. Do not use an extension cord with
conductors smaller than 1,3 mm
• Connect only to a properly grounded outlet.
See grounding instructions.
• Do not put any object into ventilation openings. Do not
vacuum with any ventilation openings blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air
flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of falls, use extra care when cleaning
on stairs.
• To reduce the risk of tip-over when carrying by
bucket handle/bale, be sure handle/bale is snapped into
retention notches in latches.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to Vac,
use only CRAFTSMAN recommended accessories.
