VACUUM SAFETY
(Continued)
17. Use only extension cords that are rated for outdoor use. Extension cords in poor
condition or too small in 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 16 gauge (AWG) in size. To reduce power loss, use a 14 gauge
extension cord if 25 to 50 ft long and 12 gauge for 50 ft or longer.
18. This Wet/Dry Vacuum is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate
grounding system. Use only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions
for Servicing Double-Insulated Wet/Dry Vacuums before servicing.
19. Do not put any object into ventilation openings. Do not vacuum with any
ventilation openings blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may
reduce air flow.
20. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
21. To reduce the risk of falls, use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
22. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to Vacuum, use only ProTeam
recommended accessories.
23. When using as a blower:
- Direct air discharge only at work area.
- Do not set down in liquid; electric shock could occur.
- Do not direct air at bystanders.
- Keep children away when blowing.
- Do not use blower for any job except blowing dirt and debris.
- Do not use as a sprayer.
- Wear safety eyewear.
24. To reduce the risk of eye injury, wear safety eyewear. The operation of any
utility Vacuum 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 extended
time or in a noisy area.
- For dusty operations, wear dust mask, such as an N95 or P100 mask.
- Static shocks are common when the relative humidity of the air is low. Vacuuming
fine debris with your Vacuum can deposit static charge on the hose or Vacuum.
To reduce the frequency of static shocks when using this Vacuum, add moisture to the
air with a humidifier.
Observe the following warnings that appear on the motor housing of your Vacuum:
WARNING - For your own safety, read and understand Owner’s Manual. Do not
run unattended. Do not pick up hot ashes, coals, toxic, flammable or other
hazardous materials. Do not use around explosive liquids or vapors.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock - do not expose to rain - store
indoors.
DOUBLE INSULATED - GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL PROTEAM REPLACEMENT PARTS.
