• To reduce risk, do not use to vacuum hazardous, toxic or carcinogenic materials, such as asbestos or pesticide.

- 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 info openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything else that may reduce air flow. - Static shocks are possible in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is low. This is only temporary and does not affect the use of the vacuum. To reduce the frequency of static shocks, add moisture to the air with a console or installed humidifier.

Some wood contains preservatives and can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent Inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request and follow any safety information available from your material supplier.

- 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.

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.

- 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 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 bums 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.
