WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand operator's manual.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL VACUUM, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING VACUUM. BEFORE USING THE VACUUM, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL, BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER OPERATOR'S MANUALS, AND ALL LABELS ON THE VACUUM, BATTERY PACK, AND CHARGER.
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
- Do not pick up wet material. Do not use water to settle dust.
- Do not handle battery pack or vacuum with wet hands
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 influence 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 dust mask or use an OSHA compliant vacuum solution when working in dusty 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 balance at all times. This enables better control of the vacuum 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 without dust canister and/or filter in place
- 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.
- To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dust, do not vacuum toxic, carcinogenic or other hazardous materials such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangering materials.
- Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
- To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust canister 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 flow.
- 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 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 vacuum.
• 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 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 qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR COMPACT VACUUM
- Before using the vacuum, read this operator's manual, your battery pack and charger operator's manuals, and all labels on the vacuum, battery pack, and charger.
- Never use vacuum without dust canister and filter in place. Never use water to clean filter.
- Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.
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.
