IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY:
1. Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
2. Do not expose to rain – store indoors.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only Manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, contact Shop-Vac Corporation for
assistance.
6. Do Not: pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug; not the cord.
8. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
9. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any openings blocked; keep free of
dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving
parts.
11. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot
ashes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
12. Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place.
13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
14. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
15. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas
where they may be present.
16. Do not use your cleaner as a sprayer of flammable liquids such as oil base paints, lacquers,
household cleaners, etc.
17. Do not vacuum toxic, carcinogenic, combustible or other hazardous materials such as
asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangering materials.
Specially designed units are available for these purposes.
18. Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without cartridge filter and collection
filter bag in place. These are very fine particles that may pass through the foam and affect
the performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air. Additional collection filter
bags are available.
19. Do not leave the cord lying on the floor once you have finished the cleaning job. It can
become a tripping hazard.
20. Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
21. To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty tank after each use.
22. The operation of a utility vac can result in foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can
result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles when operating vacuum.
23. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use vacuum cleaner
when you are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing
diminished control.
24. WARNING! Do NOT use this vacuum cleaner to vacuum lead paint debris because this may
disperse fine lead particles into the air. This vacuum cleaner is not intended for use under
EPA Regulation 40 CFR Part 745 for lead paint material cleanup.
WARNING
– DO NOT LEAVE VACUUM UNATTENDED WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN AND/OR OPERATING. UNPLUG UNIT WHEN NOT IN USE.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIP-
MENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK. CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF
YOU ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE OUTLET IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE APPLIANCE – IF IT
WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated
EXTENSION CORDS
When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power
and overheating. Use the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine
ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to nameplate located on rear of motor cover. Before
using appliance, inspect power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make
any needed repairs or replacements before using your appliance. Use only three-wire outdoor
extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles
which accept the extension cord’s plug. When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord
connection does not come in contact with the liquid.
NOTE: STATIC SHOCKS ARE COMMON IN DRY AREAS OR WHEN THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF
THE AIR IS LOW. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE USE OF THE APPLIANCE. TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF STATIC SHOCKS IN YOUR HOME, THE BEST REMEDY IS
TO ADD MOISTURE TO THE AIR WITH A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED HUMIDIFIER.
in sketches B and C may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B
if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor
should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (sketch A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug or
the like extending from the adaptor
must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
