RIDGID WD4075KR0 Owner's Manual page 3

• Do not use with a torn filter or without
the filter installed except when
vacuuming liquids as described in this
manual. Dry debris ingested by the
impeller may damage the motor or be
exhausted into the air.
• Turn off the Vac before unplugging.
• To reduce the risk of injury from
accidental start-up, unplug power cord
before changing or cleaning the filter.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the 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, call customer
service.
• Do not pull or carry by the cord, do not
use the cord as a handle, close a door
on the cord, or pull the cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the
Vac over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces.
• Do not handle the plug, switch or the
Vac with wet hands.
• Use only extension cords that are rated
for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor
condition or that have too small a 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 1.3 mm
To reduce power loss, use an extension
cord with 2.1 mm conductors if the
2
length is more than 30 m.
• This Wet/Dry Vac is double-insulated,
eliminating the need for a separate
earthing system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions
for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry
Vacs before servicing.
• Do not insert any object into the
ventilation openings. Do not vacuum
with any ventilation openings blocked;
keep free of dust, lint, hair or anything
that may reduce air flow.
SAVE 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 personal injury or
damage to the Vac, use only Ridgid-
recommended accessories.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear
safety goggles. 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.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of hearing damage,
wear ear protectors when using for an
extended time or in a noisy area.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask.
• Static shocks are common when
the relative humidity of the air is low.
Vacuuming fine debris with your Vac can
deposit static charge on the hose or Vac.
To reduce the frequency of static shocks
in your home or when using this Vac,
add moisture to the air with a humidifier.
Observe the following warnings that appear
on the motor housing of your Vac:
DOUBLE INSULATED.
