DOUBLE INSULATION INSTRUCTIONS
This Wet/Dry Vacuum is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate
grounding system. Use only identical replacements parts. Read the instructions for
Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry Vacuums before servicing. Use this vacuum as
described in this manual.
Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of your vacuum.
DOUBLE INSULATED - GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED - WHEN
SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock - do not expose to rain.
Store indoors.
WARNING:
For your own safety, read and understand the operator’s
manual. Do not run unattended. Do not pick up hot ashes,
coals, toxic, flammable materials. Do not use around explosive
liquids or vapours.
WARNING:
Servicing of double-insulated wet/dry vacuum
with a double-insulated wet/dry vacuum, two systems of
insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should
a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double insulated
wet/dry vacuum requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated wet/
dry vacuum must be identical to the parts they replace.
Your double-insulated wet/dry vac is marked with the words
'double-insulated’ and the symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.
