WARNING
To avoid fire or explosion, do not operate this vac in areas with flammable gases
or flammable vapors such as lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-base paints, gasoline,
alcohol or explosive dust such as coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder in the
air. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flammable or combustible liquids or hot
ashes. Do not use this vac as a sprayer for any flammable or combustible liquid.
To avoid health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials. To
avoid electrical shock do not expose to rain. Store vac indoors. Unplug power
cord before changing or cleaning filter or emptying the dust drum.
CAUTION: To avoid hearing damage
wear ear protectors when using the
vac for extended hours or when
using it in a noisy area.
The operation of any utility vac can
result in foreign objects being blown
into the eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Always wear safety gog-
gles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown
on package) before commencing opera-
tion. Safety Goggles are available at
Sears retail stores.
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, con-
tact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way.
Vacuuming Dry Materials
1. The filter must be in correct position at
all times to avoid leaks and possible
damage to vac.
2. When using your vac to pick up very
fine dust, it will be necessary for you to
empty the drum and clean the filter at
more frequent intervals to maintain
peak performance.
NOTE: A dry filter is necessary to pick up
dry material. If you use your vac to pick
up dust when the filter is wet, the filter will
clog quickly and be very difficult to clean.
3. If your filter is wet but you need to use
the vac to pick up dry material, you can
quickly dry the filter by running the vac
without hose attached for about 10
minutes. The clean air rushing through
the vac will dry the filter enough for dry
pick up.
