important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of
suction, debris exiting exhaust, or abnormal motor noises.
Immediately stop using Vac if you notice these signs.

reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not use near combustible
liquids, gases, or dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter
fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, coal dust,
magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.
• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as
cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not vacuum drywall dust, cold fireplace ash, or other fine
dusts. These may pass through the filter and be exhausted back
into the air.
• To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors, do not vacuum or use
near toxic or hazardous materials.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary
when used by or near children.

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.
• Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension
cords in poor condition or too small in wire size can pose fire 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 16 gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce power loss, use a 14
gauge extension cord if 25 to 50 ft long and 12 gauge for 50 ft or
longer.
