Operation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, explosion or damage to the Vac:
• Do not leave the Vac running while unattended – you may fail to notice
important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction,
debris/liquid exiting the exhaust or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop
using the Vac if you notice these signs.
• Do not leave the Vac plugged in when not in use.
• Do not continue running when float has cut off suction.
• Sparks inside the motor can ignite airborne inflammables. Do not operate
the Vac near inflammable liquids or in areas with inflammable gases, fumes
or explosive/airborne dust. Inflammable liquids, gases and fumes include:

water, return it to an authorised service centre or call customer service.
