This vacuum is intended for removing loose, cool ash from the ash collection areas of stoves and
replaces. Do not vacuum soot. Soot is a combustible material generally found in deposits along
exhaust areas and chimneys.
The temperature of the vacuuming material must be below 100°F (40°C). If it exceeds 100°F (40°C),
there is a risk of re.
When using a vacuum, basic precautions should always be followed including
the following. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
explosion, re and/or serious injury.
• Do not run vacuum unattended.
• Do not use to pick up ammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where
they may be present.
• Do not vacuum, or use this ash vacuum near ammable liquids, gases, or explosive vapors
like gasoline or other fuels, lighter uids, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, or
explosive dusts like coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, or gun powder. Sparks inside the
motor can ignite ammable vapors or dust.
