Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

not
use in areas where explosive vapors may be present.
• Do
not
use to pick up explosive dust, or in areas where air contains
explosive dust such as coal, grain, or other combustible material.
• 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.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty canister after each use.
• Store idle tools.
When not in use, the vacuum should be stored in
a dry, high or locked up place – out of the reach of children.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the vacuum before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, servicing, moving or storing
the vacuum.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
• Avoid accidental starting.
Be sure the switch is in the OFF position
before inserting the battery pack.
•
Never leave vacuum running unattended. Turn power off.
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
•

appliance that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
