IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL DUST EXTRACTOR, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING DUST EXTRACTOR. BEFORE USING THE DUST EXTRACTOR, READ THIS OPERATOR'S MANUAL, YOUR TOOL, BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER OPERATOR'S MANUALS, AND ALL LABELS ON THE DUST EXTRACTOR, BATTERY PACK, CHARGER AND TOOL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.

WORK AREA SAFETY

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

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do not pick up wet material. Do not use water to settle dust.
• Do not handle battery pack or dust extractor with wet hands.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

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.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before inserting battery pack. Inserting battery pack in dust extractor that has the switch on invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool 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.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off -position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

USE AND CARE

• Do not use without dust box 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.
• 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.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust box after each use.
• Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
• 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.

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.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR DUST EXTRACTORS

• Before using the dust extractor, read this operator's manual, your tool, battery pack and charger operator's manuals, and all labels on the dust extractor, battery pack, charger and tool.
• Never use dust extractor without dust box and HEPA filter in place. Never use water to clean dust box or HEPA filter.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• 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.

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.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a replacement.

WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, saw-

ing, 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.
