Dust Extractor Care
Bosch HEPA filters must

Renovation, Repair and Painting Program
(RRP), where lead may be present. Not
using Bosch HEPA filters for EPA RRP
program may cause health and environmental
hazards.
Not suitable to vacuum
hazardous or toxic
substances or dusts e.g. asbestos. Neither
the standard filter nor the optional HEPA filter
is able to capture all hazardous particles,
which may cause health hazards.
Once this dust extractor is
used for EPA Lead Based
Paint Renovation, Repair and Painting
Program (RRP) where lead may be present, it
is recommended that it always be used for
RRP. Residual hazardous substances in the dust
extractor may cause health and environmental
hazards.
When using this dust
extractor for EPA Lead
Based Paint Renovation, Repair and
Painting Program (RRP), this dust extractor
is not recommended for vacuuming
carpets and rugs. Dust extractor may not be
able to completely remove all hazardous
substance, which may cause health and
environmental hazards.
Do not use dust extractor if switch does
not turn it ON or OFF. Any dust extractor
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing attachments, or storing the dust
extractor. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the dust extractor
accidentally.
The sum of current draw of the dust
extractor and connected power tool must
not exceed 15A. Exceeding the 15A current
draw could cause the dust extractor and
branch circuitry to overheat, presenting a risk
of fire.
Do not vacuum dust when liquid/fluid is
contained in the dust extractor canister.
Do not vacuum liquids/fluids when dust is
in the canister. In either case empty the
canister and/or remove dust bag before use
so that dust does not cake and harden inside
the canister.
Dry filters completely after wet vacuuming
or use a second dry filter set for dust
vacuuming. Damp or wet filters will cake
with dust or develop mold or mildew.
Store idle dust extractor out of reach of
children and other untrained persons.
Dust extractors are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain dust extractor with care.
Properly maintain dust extractor to keep
hose unobstructed. Do not put any object
into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair and anything that may reduce air
flow. Any alteration or modification is a
misuse and may result in a dangerous
condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the dust
extractor operation. If damaged, have the
dust extractor serviced before using.
Poorly maintained dust extractors cause
many accidents. Develop a periodic
maintenance schedule for your dust
extractor.
Service
Only qualified repair personnel must
perform dust extractor service. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched.
When servicing a dust extractor, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow the Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
