this electric wet/dry vacuum. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.

the unit's rating label. Using the improper voltage can
damage the motor and injure the user.
3. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension
cord suitable for indoor use only, such as SW-A, SOW-A,
STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or
SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
