PERSONAL SAFETY
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use dust extractor when you
are tired, distracted or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a dust extractor can result in for
-
eign objects being blown into eyes, which can result
in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or glass
-
es with side shields when operating dust extractor.
• Wear a dust mask or use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution when working in dusty
situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal
-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
dust extractor in unexpected situations.
• 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 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 a󰀨ect 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 car
-
cinogenic, 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 can
-
cer, 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 specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
• 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 dust extractor. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the dust
extractor's operation. If damaged, have the dust
extractor repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry im
-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
• Use dust extractor only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and re.
• Turn o󰀨 all controls before removing battery pack.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on
wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Before using the battery pack or charger read the
operator’s manuals, and any labels on the battery
pack, charger and dust extractor.
• 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 dust extractor.
If battery pack or dust extractor 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.
