injury, wear safety eyewear. The operation
of any utility vac or blower can result in
foreign objects being blown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety eyewear complying
with ANSI Z87.1 (or in Canada CSA Z94.3)

except when
could seriously hurt you when they break.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION:
dust mask.
NOTE: Static shocks are common in
dry areas or when the relative humidity of
the air is low. Vacuuming fine debris with
your vac can deposit static charge on the
hose or on the Vac. The best remedy to
reduce the frequency of static shocks in
your home or when using this Vac is to add
moisture to the air with a humidifier.
Observe the following warnings that
appear on the motor housing of your
Wet/Dry Vac.
WARNING: For your own safety, read
and understand owner's manual.
