• 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 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 suf x W-A or W following the
cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
