ShopVac Assembly - Be Careful!

I bought a new ShopVac Wet/Dry Vacuum from Amazon.com for spring cleanup and set out to assemble it Saturday.  The User manual has fourteen pages of instructions and cautions in multiple languages.

The English Safety Instructions include 23 items.


I put off reading that paragraph until I finished the assembly.  Step 5 of those instructions says,"Insert casters into feet by placing stem of caster into holes provided.  Apply pressure and twisting motion until casters snap into place ..."


Perhaps those instructions should be modified to include,"if no snap is heard, it's probably because the damned caster has just pinched your finger.  In that case, remove blood from finger with a clean rag."
