other hazardous materials. Do not use near explosive liquids or vapours.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum drywall dust or cold fireplace soot or ash with a standard wet/dry
filter. This dust is very fine and hence will not be captured by the filter and may cause damage. Refer to
the operation section for proper filter selection.
WARNING: SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED WET/DRY VACUUM
In a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vacuum, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
method of grounding is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should one be added. Servicing
a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vacuum requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should
be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated Wet/Dry Vacuum
must be identical to the parts that are being replaced. This Wet/Dry Vacuum is marked with the words
‘DOUBLE INSULATED’and the symbol (move symbol here) may also be marked on the appliance.
• For household use only.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug before cleaning or servicing.
• DO NOT use without filters in place.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use indoors only.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, unplug before servicing.
POLARIZATION
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
