INTRODUCTION
WARNING! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety precautions,
including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric
shock, personal injury and material damage.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
Congratulations on purchasing a Full Boar Wet and
Dry Vac.
The Full Boar Wet and Dry Vac is designed for wet and
dry vacuuming using the appropriate lter. The appliance
is not suitable for the vacuuming of combustible,
explosive or harmful substances.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Full Boar tools are interchangeable for Australia and
New Zealand.
Note: The power outlet used for the vacuum must be protected by a 30mA residual current
device or earth leakage circuit breaker.
The supply cored assessed as type Y attached by using AS/NZS 60335.1.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer
in order to avoid a hazard.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use,
inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead
if damaged or defective. When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead
completely. Use of an extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is
damaged or defective may result in a risk of re and electric shock.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. The
term “Power Tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

7
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS (cont.)
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool
repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
