Indicates a potentially

When using your Wet/Dry Vac (“Vac”),
always follow basic safety precautions
including the following:

• Read and understand this owner's

manual and all labels on the Wet/Dry
Vac before operating.

• Use only as described in this manual.

• To reduce the risk of personal injury or

damage to Vac, use only Ridgid
recommended accessories.

• Do not leave Vac running while

unattended.

• Sparks inside the motor can ignite

flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the
risk of fire or explosion:
- Do not vacuum or use near flammable

or combustible liquids, gases, or
explosive dusts, such as gasoline or
other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil
based paints, natural gas, hydrogen,
coal dust, magnesium dust, aluminum
dust, grain dust, or gun powder.

- Do not use as a sprayer.

• Do not vacuum anything that is burning

or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.

• Do not vacuum fireplace soot or ash

with standard filter. This is a very fine
dust which may be exhausted back into
the air. Use a fine dust filter instead.

• To reduce the risk of health hazards

from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum
toxic materials.
