SP6636 1/10/07 9:52 AM Page 3 • Do not use or store near hazardous materials. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor chamber inside lid. Store indoors. • Do not allow Vac to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. • Do not use this Vac 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 when 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 an Authorized 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 or the Vac switch 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. • Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions in this manual. • 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 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 from the drum to make it comfortable to lift. • 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. - Wear safety eyewear. - Use extra care on uneven surfaces that let the Vac tip or rock. 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. 3
