    • Use only as described in this manual.
  • This vacuum is intended to pick up COLD ash from fireplaces, grills, ovens, ashtrays, etc.

have cooled, but may actually be hot inside. First check for hot spots by raking through the ashes/coals. Air flow created during vacuuming may cause hot ash to reignite. As you vacuum, constantly check the nozzle, hose, drum, and motor for excessive temperatures.

- If you notice an increase in temperature, turn off the vacuum immediately.

- Unplug the vacuum and remove the vacuumed material from the drum.

- The drum must be emptied and cleaned after each use, and before picking up other household debris.

- Do not use paper dust bags.

- pickup, do not place the vacuum on surfaces susceptible to heat damage, such as carpeting, vinyl flooring, or wood surfaces.

- Do not leave Vac running while unattended - you may fail to notice important signs indicating abnormal operation such as loss of suction, debris/liquid exiting exhaust, or abnormal motor noises. Immediately stop using Vac if you notice these signs.

- Do not leave Vac when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

- Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not use near combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as

gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, or gun powder.

- Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

- To avoid the risk of self-ignition of drum debris, empty drum after each use. Combustible materials, such as rags or sawdust containing stain or urethane, can be sources of such overheating.

- Do not vacuum drywall dust and fine powders.

- Do not use with a standard filter (VF3400). Only use with RIDGID Filters: VF3500, VF3600 and VF3800.

- To reduce the risk of inhaling toxic vapors, do not vacuum or use near toxic or hazardous materials.

- To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain or allow liquid to enter motor compartment. Store indoors.

- This Vac is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

- Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

- Do not use with a torn filter or without filter, dry debris ingested by the impeller may damage the motor or be exhausted into the air.

  • To reduce the risk of injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filters.
  • Do not unplug by pulling on 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 cord, use cord as handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run Vac over cord. Keep cord away from heated

To reduce the risk of damage from accidental hot ember

- Do not handle plug, switch, or the Vac with wet hands.

- 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 1,3 mm ^2 (16 AWG).

- This Vac is double-insulated, eliminating the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical replacement parts. Read the instructions for Servicing Double-Insulated Vacs before servicing.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • 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.
  • 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 back injury or falls, do not lift a Vac that is heavy with debris. Partially empty by scooping debris.
  • To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the Vac, use only RIDGID accessories supplied with this vacuum. Other RIDGID accessories are not manufactured for use in fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, grills and more.
