VACUUM ASSISTED HAMMERVAC™ DUST EXTRACTOR DÉPOUSSIÉREUR ASSISTÉ PAR DÉPRESSION HAMMERVAC™ EXTRACTOR DE POLVO HAMMERVAC™ ASISTIDO POR VACÍO

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator's manual.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING WHEN USING A DUST EXTRACTOR, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING DUST EXTRACTOR. FOR HOUSEHOLD OR COMMERCIAL USE. BEFORE USING THE DUST EXTRACTOR, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL, AS WELL AS YOUR TOOL AND VACUUM OPERATOR'S MANUALS, AND ALL LABELS ON THE DUST EXTRACTOR, TOOL, AND VACUUM.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• 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

- Do not pick up wet material. Do not use water to settle dust.

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a dust extractor 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 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 balance at all times. This enables better control of the dust extractor in unexpected situations.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, 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 flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without filter in place. These are very fine 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 instructions. 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 specially designed to filter 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 flow.
• Maintain dust extractor. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect 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 important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE

• Use dust extractor only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Turn off 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 specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire 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 fire.
• 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 qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR DUST EXTRACTORS

Before using the dust extractor, read this operator's manual, your tool and vacuum manuals, and all labels on the dust extractor, tool, and vacuum.

• Always use side handle assembly with the correct neck diameter for the rotary hammer/hammer drill. An ill-fitting side handle will not tighten securely, causing loss of control.
- Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
•WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, wear a dust mask or use an OSHA compliant dust extraction solution when working in dusty situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Always use side handle(s) supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger or tool before performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Maintaining Tool

Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise, misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six months to one year, depending on use, return the tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE service facility for inspection.

If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

⚠ WARNING To reduce the risk of personal in-jury and damage, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid allow a liquid to flow inside them.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to the nearest service center.
