• Do not use with a torn filter or without
the filter installed except when
vacuuming liquids as described in the
operation section of this manual. Dry
debris ingested by the impeller may
damage the motor or be exhausted
back into the air.
• Do not leave Vac plugged in. Unplug
from outlet when not in use and before
servicing.
• Turn off Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental starting, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning filter.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not use with 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, return it to a Sears
Service Center.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as
handle, close a door on cord, or pull
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.
• 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 flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, 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 personal injury or
damage to Vac, use only Craftsman
recommended accessories.
• When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work area.
- Turn unit off before setting on ground
or releasing grasp from handle.
- Do not set down in liquid; electric
shock could occur.
- 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.
- Wear safety eyewear.
• Connect only to a properly-grounded
outlet. See grounding instructions.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of eye
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) before starting operation.
Everyday eyeglasses are not safety
glasses and 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: For dusty operations, wear
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.
WARNING: Use only extension cords that
are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords
in poor condition or that are too small in
wire size can pose fire and shock hazards.
To reduce the risk of these hazards when
using an extension cord, be sure it is in
good condition and that the connection
does not come into contact with liquid. To
keep power loss to a minimum, use the
following table to choose the minimum
wire size extension cord.
