IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety is a combination of using common
sense, staying alert and knowing how your
Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner (“Vac”) works.
Safety Signal Words
DANGER: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
When using your Vac, always follow basic
safety precautions including the following:
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
• Read and understand this manual and
all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before
operating.
• Use only as described in this manual.
• Do not leave Vac running while
unattended – you may fail to notice
important signs indicating abnormal
operation such as loss of suction, debris/
liquid exiting the exhaust or abnormal
motor noises. Immediately stop using
Vac if you notice any of these signs.
• Do not leave Vac when plugged in when
not in use and before servicing.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite
ammable fumes or dust. To reduce the
risk of re or explosion, do not use near
combustible liquids, gases, or dusts,
such as petrol or other fuels, lighter uid,
cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas,
coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust,
aluminium dust or gun-powder.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not vacuum plasterboard or plaster
dust, cold replace ash, or other ne
dusts with standard lter. These may
pass through the lter and be exhausted
back into the air. Use a ne dust lter
instead.
• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic
fumes, 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 vacuum cleaner 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 vacuum by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Do not allow Vac to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children.
• Do not use with a torn lter or without
the lter installed except when

3
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 the Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental start-up, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning lter.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not use with a 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. Do not pull or carry by the cord,
use the cord as a handle, close a door
on cord, or pull the cord around sharp
edges or corners.
• Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle plug, switch or the Vac
with wet hands.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor
condition or too small in wire size can
pose re 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 mm2. To reduce power
loss, do not use an extension cord with
conductors smaller than 2.1 mm2if the
length is more than 30 m (100 ft.).
• This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate
earthing system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions
for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry
Vacs before servicing.
• 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 ow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers 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 back injury or falls,
do not lift a Vac that is heavy with liquid
or debris. Partially empty the Vac by
scooping debris or draining liquid to
make it comfortable to lift.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury
or damage to Vac, use only Ridgid-
recommended accessories.
• When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work area.
- Do not direct air at bystanders.
- Keep children away when blowing.
- Do not use blower for any job except
blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety goggles. 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.
Observe the following warnings that appear
on the motor housing of your Vac:
DOUBLE INSULATED EARTHING
NOT REQUIRED. WHEN
SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for an
extended time or in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask.
• Static shocks are common when the
relative humidity of the air is low.
Vacuuming ne debris with your Vac
can deposit static charge on the hose
or Vac. To reduce the frequency of
static shocks in your home or when
using this Vac, add moisture to the air
with a humidier.
WARNING: For your own safety,
read and understand the owner’s
manual. Do not run unattended. Do
not pick up hot ashes, coals, toxic,
inflammable or other hazardous
materials. Do not use around
explosive liquids or vapour.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
electric shock – do not expose to rain
– store indoors.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion or damage to Vac:
• Do not leave Vac running while unattended – you may fail to notice important
signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris/liquid
exiting the exhaust or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if
you notice these signs.
• Do not leave Vac plugged in when not in use.
• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne inflammables. Do not operate
Vac near inflammable liquids or in areas with inflammable gases, fumes
or explosive/airborne dust. Inflammable liquids, gases and fumes include:
lighter fluid, solvent-type cleaners, oil-based paints, petrol, alcohol and
aerosol sprays. Explosive dusts include: coal, magnesium, aluminium, grain
and gun powder.
• Do not vacuum up explosive dusts, inflammable liquids or hot ashes.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury:
• Do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store
indoors.
• Do not handle plug, switch, or Vac with wet hands.
• Unplug Vac before servicing. If your Vac is not working as it should, has
missing parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into
water, return it to an authorised service centre or call customer service.
• When using an extension cord, use only outdoor-rated cords that are in good
condition. Do not allow the connection to come into contact with liquid.

Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The lter must always be in the correct
position at all times to avoid leaks and
possible damage to Vac.
2. When using your Vac to pick up ne
dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the lter
at more frequent intervals to maintain
peak Vac performance.
NOTE: It is necessary that a dry lter is
used to pick up dry material. If you use
your Vac to pick up dust when the lter is
wet, the lter will clog quickly and be very
difcult to clean.
3. If your lter is wet but you need to use
the Vac to pick up dry material, you
must rst allow the lter to dry.
Vacuuming Liquids
1. When picking up small amounts of
liquid (less than 3-6 cm of liquid in the
bottom of the drum) the lter may be
left in place.
2. When picking up larger amounts of
liquid (more than 6 cm of liquid in the
bottom of the drum) we recommend
that the lter be removed. If the lter is
not removed, it will become saturated
and misting may appear in the exhaust.
3. When the liquid in the drum reaches
a predetermined level, the oat
mechanism will rise automatically to cut
off air-ow. You will know that the oat
has risen because suction stops and
the motor noise will become higher in
pitch, due to increased motor speed.
When this happens, turn off the Vac,
unplug the power cord, and empty the
drum.
4. After using the Vac to pick up liquids,
the lter must be dried to avoid possible
mildew and damage to the lter.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of
damage to the Vac, do not run Vac with
oat in raised position.
Emptying the Drum
1. Remove the lid. Pull the exible latches
outwards on each side of the lid to
release from the drum.
2. While holding the latches out, lift the top
assembly up and away from the drum.
3. Lay top assembly upside down on a
clean area while emptying the drum or
changing the lter.
4. Dump the drum contents into the proper
waste disposal container.
Moving the Wet/Dry Vac
Should it become necessary to pick the
Vac up to move it, DO NOT pick the Vac
up by the lid handles unless the dust
drum is empty. To avoid dropping the Vac,
due to latches releasing or possible part
breakage, pick the Vac up by the dust
drum.
8
Operation (continued)
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of injury from accidental starting,
unplug the power cord before
emptying the drum.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac
heavy with liquid or debris. Scoop
or drain enough contents out to
make the Vac light enough to lift
comfortably.

Filter Cleaning
Your lter should be cleaned often to
maintain peak Vac performance.
Be sure to dry the lter before storing or
picking up dry debris.
Cleaning A Dry Filter
1. Some removal of dry debris can be
accomplished without removing the
lter from the Vac. Slap your hand on
top of the lid while the Vac is turned off.
2. For best cleaning results due to
accumulated dust, clean the lter in an
open area. Cleaning SHOULD be done
outdoors and not in the living quarters.
3. After lter removal from Vac, remove
the dry debris by gently tapping the
lter against the inside wall of the dust
drum. The debris will loosen and fall.
4. For thorough cleaning of a dry lter
containing ne dust (no debris), run
water through it as described under
“Cleaning A Wet Filter”.
Cleaning A Wet Filter
After lter has been removed, run water
through the lter from a hose or tap. Take
care that water pressure from the hose is
not strong enough to damage the lter.
IMPORTANT: After cleaning, check the
lter for tears or small holes. Do not use a
lter with holes or tears in it. Even a small
hole can cause a lot of dust to come out
of your Vac. Replace it immediately.
Allow the lter to dry before reinstalling
and storing the Vac.
Cleaning and Disinfecting the
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its best,
clean the outside with a cloth dampened
with warm water and mild detergent.
To clean the drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash drum thoroughly with warm water
and mild detergent.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e.; waste water pick-up) the drum
should be disinfected.
To disinfect the drum:
1. Pour 4 l of water and 5 ml chlorine
bleach into the drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully agitating it every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the drum.
3. Empty drum after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell has gone.
Allow drum to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the drum.
12
Maintenance (continued)

13
Cord Maintenance
When vacuuming is complete, unplug
the cord and wrap it around the motor
cover. If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or
the service agent or by similarly qualied
personnel to reduce the risk of accident.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the dust drum
should be emptied and cleaned. The
cord should be wrapped around the unit.
Accessories should be kept in the same
area as the Vac so they can be readily
available. The Vac should be stored
indoors.
Casters
If your casters are noisy, you may put
a drop of oil on the roller shaft to make
them quieter.

시간 동안 사용하거나 시끄러운
장소에서 사용할 때는 청각 보호 장치를
착용하십시오.
• 작동 시에 먼지가 많이 발생하는 경우
방진 마스크를 착용하십시오.
• 대기의 상대 습도가 낮으면 정전기
충격이 흔히 발생합니다.Vac로 미세한
부스러기를 청소하면 호스나 Vac에
정전하가 축적될 수 있습니다. 가정에서,
또는 이 Vac를 사용할 때 정전기
충격 발생 빈도를 줄이려면 가습기를
사용하여 대기 습도를 높이십시오.
• Vac를 장난감으로 사용하지 않도록
하십시오. 어린이가 사용하거나 어린이
근처에서 사용할 때는 세심한 주의를
기울여야 합니다.

찢어졌거나 설치되지 않은 경우
사용하지 마십시오. 마른 부스러기가
임펠러에 흡입되면 모터가 손상되거나
공기로 배출될 수 있습니다.
• 전원을 분리하기 전에 Vac를 끄십시오.
• 실수로 청소기를 시작하여 다칠 수 있는
위험을 줄이기 위해, 필터를 교체 또는
청소하기 전에 전기 코드를 뽑으십시오.

다루지 마십시오.
• 실외용으로 승인된 연장 코드만
사용하십시오. 상태가 좋지 않거나 전선
굵기가 너무 얇은 연장 코드는 화재 및
감전 위험을 초래할 수 있습니다. 이런
위험을 줄이기 위해, 코드의 상태가
양호한지 확인하고 액체가 연결 부위에
닿지 않도록 하십시오. 도선이 1.3
mm2(16 AWG)보다 얇은 연장 코드를
사용하지 마십시오. 전원이 차단되는
경우를 줄이기 위해, 연장 코드의 길이가
