IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the

following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT!

WARNING To reduce risk of re, electric shock, or injury: know your power vacuum.

Read the instruction manual carefully. Learn the vacuum’s applications and

limitations, as well as the specic potential hazards related to this vacuum. Following this

rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or serious injury.

Work Area Safety

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate appliance in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body

is earthed or grounded. Wear electrically

insulated footwear, such as rubber boots, when

vacuuming wet material.

Do not expose appliance to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering an appliance will

increase the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating appliance.

Do not use the appliance while tired or under

the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating appliance

may result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment

such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to battery pack, picking up or

carrying the appliance. Carrying appliance

with your nger on the switch or energizing

appliance that have the switch on invites

accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the appliance on. A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the appliance

may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected

situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure that these are connected and

properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become

complacent and ignore tool safety

principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

Use and Care

Do not force the appliance. Use the correct

appliance for your application. The correct

appliance will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the appliance if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any appliance

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

-4-

Disconnect the battery pack from the

appliance before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing appliance.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the appliance accidentally.

Store idle appliance out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the appliance or these instructions

to operate the appliance. Appliances are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain appliance and accessories. Check

for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the appliance’s operation.

If damaged, have the appliance repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained appliance.

Use the appliance and accessories, etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking

into account the working conditions and the

work to be performed. Use of the appliance for

operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for

safe handling and control of the appliance in

unexpected situations.

Battery Pack Use and Care

Recharge only with the charger specied by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
