WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Vacuums have motors and other parts that can
produce sparks during normal use. Do not use
within 30 feet of areas where explosive materials
may be present (such as gasoline pumps and places
where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners, solvents,
etc. are stored).
• Do not use in the presence of explosive dust,
liquids or vapors.
• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are
used.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use extra care when using on stairs.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Wear electrically insulated footwear, such as
rubber boots, when vacuuming wet material.
• Do not handle battery pack or vacuum with wet
hands.
• Store indoors. Do not expose to rain.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use vacuum when you are
tired, distracted or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a vacuum can result in foreign
objects being blown into eyes, which can result in
eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields when operating vacuum.
• Wear a face or dust mask when working in dust
situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack in vacuum that has the switch
on invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
vacuum in unexpected situations.
• Never stand on vacuum or use as a step stool.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
USE AND CARE
• Do not use without tank and/or lter properly
installed.
• Do not use to pick up ammable or combustible
liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smok-
ing such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall
dust without lter in place. These are very ne
particles that may affect the performance of the
motor or be exhausted back into the air.
•This product is suitable for collection of silica
dust when used in accordance with these in-
structions. To reduce the risk of health hazards
from other vapors or dust, do not vacuum
carcinogenic, toxic or hazardous materials
such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead,
pesticides or other health endangered materials.
•
WARNING
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded
tanks.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty tank
after each use.
• Do not leave vacuum unattended when battery
pack is installed. Remove battery pack when not
in use and before servicing.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything else that may reduce air ow.
• Maintain vacuum. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the vacuum's
operation. If damaged, have the vacuum repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
• Use vacuum only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
• Turn off all controls before removing battery pack.
• Before using the battery pack or charger read
the operator’s manuals, and any labels on the
battery pack, charger and vacuum.
• 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 when used
with another battery pack.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a re.
• Do not use damaged battery pack or vacuum.
If battery pack or vacuum are not working as
they should, have been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors,or dropped into water, return them to a
service center.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
•Before using the vacuum, read this operator’s
manual, your battery pack and charger opera-
tor’s manuals, and all labels on the vacuum,
battery pack, and charger.
• Never use vacuum without tank and lter properly
installed.
• Never use water to clean lter. Tap clean or blow
dirt off with compressed air.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
