IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety is a combination of common sense,
staying alert and knowing how your
Wet/Dry Vac works. Read and understand
this manual and all labels on the Vac
before operating. Use only as described in
this manual.
• Use only the batteries specified in this
manual for the Vac. See “Battery
Installation” section.
• Do not leave Vac running while
unattended.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite
flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the
risk of fire or explosion:
- Do not vacuum or use near flammable
or combustible liquids, gases, or
explosive dusts, such as gasoline or
other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oilbased paints, natural gas, hydrogen,
coal dust, magnesium dust, aluminum
dust, grain dust, or gun powder.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes,

This is a very fine dust which may be
exhausted back into the air.

from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum
toxic materials.
