SAFETY

NOTE: Read and understand all instructions before using this vacuum.

• Completely remove the accessories from the box.
• The suction unit is not suitable for sucking up hazardous dusts such as asbestos.
• Only operate the vacuum from a grounded outlet.
• Connect vacuum cleaner with properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions on page 2.
  • This vacuum is intended for commercial use.

IMPORTANT! When using an electrical machine, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Disconnect vacuum cleaner from power circuit before removing the cover, performing maintenance work or when not in use.
• Do not leave the machine unattended when plugged in.
• Always check the power supply cord for damage or signs of any aging before each use.
• Do not pull or carry vacuum cleaner by cord. Do not close door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges.
• Keep cord away from heat and oil.

• Do not leave cord lying around after job is complete. It can become a tripping hazard.

• Do not run vacuum over cord.

• Turn switch to OFF before unplugging power supply cord.
• Do not unplug by pulling cord. To unplug, grasp plug, not cord.
• Do not grasp plug with wet hands.
• A damaged cord or plug should only be replaced by an authorized service center representative. Do not attempt to repair power cord.
  • To avoid shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Use only as recommended by these instructions. Use only with recommended attachments.
• Keep hair, clothing, loose jewelry, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not block or obstruct openings. Keep openings free of lint, hair, dust and anything that restricts air flow.
• Do not use to vacuum anything that is burning, smoldering or smoking such as matches, cigarettes or hot ashes.
• Do not use to vacuum combustible explosive materials, such as coal, grain and other finely divided combustible material.
• Do not use to vacuum combustible, hazardous, toxic or carcinogenic materials, including gasoline, diesel fuel, acetone, paint thinner, heating oils, undiluted acids and solvents, pesticide and asbestos.

SAFETY CONTINUED

• Use recommended filters when vacuuming drywall materials.
• Do not use without filter and/or dust bag in proper place.
• Connect vacuum cleaner with properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
• Do not allow vacuum cleaner to be used as a toy. Keep children away from vacuum cleaner.
• Do not leave unattended while vacuum cleaner is running.
• Do not use if cord, plug, filter or vacuum cleaner is in poor condition. If the vacuum cleaner has been dropped, damaged, exposed to weather or dropped into water, have it checked by an authorized service.
  • Always use eye protection when operating vacuum cleaner.
• Use extra caution when operating on stairs.
• Stay alert. Do not use vacuum cleaner when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION! Vacuum must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

• This vacuum is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and ground plug.
• The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

• Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the vacuum.

• If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• This vacuum is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded prong. (See Figure 1)

• A temporary adapter may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is not available. (See Figure 2)

Figure 1 Grounding Prong

Figure 2 Adapter

NOTE: In Canada, a temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet is installed by a qualified electrician.

• The green-colored rigid ear, lug or the line extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
• Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
• Do not attempt to repair power cord. In all cases, ensure the receptacle in question is properly grounded. Never remove grounding prong from power plug.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacle that accepts the vacuum's plug. Replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

NOTE: In Canada, use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED MACHINES

In a double-insulated machine, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means are provided on a double-insulated machine, nor should a means for grounding be added to the machine. Servicing a double-insulated machine requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated machine must be identical to the parts they replace.

SAFETY CONTINUED

NOTE: Read these operating instructions before using the vacuum for first time and adhere to these. Keep document for future reference or for future owners.

NOTE: If operating instructions and safety instructions are not observed, the vacuum can be damaged and dangers could arise for users and other people.

NOTE: Notify Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510 immediately in the case of shipping damage.

NOTE: Check the package contents when unpacking for missing accessories or for damage.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

NOTE: The packing materials can be recycled. Please dispose of packaging in accordance with the environmental regulations.

NOTE: Electrical and electronic vacuums contain valuable, recyclable materials and often components such as batteries, rechargeable batteries or oil, which – if handled or disposed of incorrectly – can pose a potential threat to human health and the environment. However, these components are required for the correct operation of the vacuum. Vacuums marked by this symbol are not allowed to be disposed of together with the household rubbish.
