SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

EcoMax EM18156 - SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES - 1

WARNING

  • Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
  • Do not use to vacuum combustible explosive materials, such as coal, grain, or other finely divided combustible materials.
  • Do not use to vacuum hazardous, toxic or carcinogenic materials, such as asbestos or pesticide.
  • Never pick up explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, paint thinner, etc.), acids or solvents.
  • Do not use vacuum without filters in place.
  • Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request and follow any safety information available from the material supplier.
  • Do not use vacuum as a step ladder.
  • Do not place heavy objects on vacuum.
  • An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension cord contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
  • If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix W-A or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A indicates it is acceptable for outdoor use.

NOTICE: WET PICK-UP ACCESSORIES SHOULD BE WASHED PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER PICKING UP WET, STICKY FLUIDS OR SPILLS. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A WARM SOLUTION OF SOAP AND WATER.

This wet/dry vac is equipped with a float mechanism which will rise automatically to cut off the airflow when the liquid in the tank reaches a predetermined level. When this happens, turn off vac, unplug the power cord, and empty the dust tank. You will know that the float has shut the airflow off because the suction ceases and the motor noise becomes higher in pitch due to increased motor speed. The liquid capacity may vary with the rate of pickup.

EcoMax EM18156 - ENGLISH - 12
