Safety Signal Words DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. When using your Wet/Dry Vac ("Vac"), always follow basic safety precautions including the following: WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury: • Read and understand this owner's manual and all labels on the Wet/Dry Vac before operating. • Use only as described in this manual. • To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to Vac, use only Ridgid recommended accessories. • Do not leave Vac running while unattended. • Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion: - Do not vacuum or use near flammable or combustible liquids, gases, or explosive dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, coal dust, magnesium dust, aluminum dust, grain dust, or gun powder. - Do not use as a sprayer. • Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. • Do not vacuum fireplace soot or ash with standard filter. This is a very fine dust which may be exhausted back into the air. Use a fine dust filter instead. • To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials. 2
