NOTE: The reading and understanding of the Owner’s Manual is imperative prior to operating this machine.  If you or your operator(s) 
cannot read English, have this manual explained fully before attempting to operate this machine. Si Ud. o sus operadores no pueden leer 
el inglés, el contenido completo de este manual debe ser explicado antes de intentar operacion de esta máquina.

Read the Owner’s Manual completely before attempting 
to operate this unit. Failure to follow the warnings and 
instructions may result in burns, fi re, electric shock, or 
personal injury:

WORK AREA SAFETY

  

•  Do not operate vacuum in explosive atmospheres.  Sparks 

from static electricity or the motor may ignite dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

  

•  Connect to a properly grounded outlet. See grounding 

instructions.

•  Always unplug unit when not in use and before servicing.
•  Electrical components are not user serviceable. Refer all 

service to a qualifi ed repair technician.

•  Do not handle plug or operate vacuum with wet hands.

PERSONAL SAFETY

 

 

•  Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when 

used by or near children.

•  Do not change fi lters, clean the unit, or empty bags until the 

plug has been disconnected from the electrical outlet.

•  Keep hair, loose clothing, fi ngers, and all parts of body 

away from openings and moving parts. There is a risk of 
injury through getting stuck or being drawn into moving 
machinery.

•  Use extra care when working on stairs.
•  Injury to the eyes and/or body can occur if protective 

clothing and/or equipment is not worn. Always wear safety 
goggles, protective clothing, hearing protection, and a dust 
mask.  Exposure to high noise levels can cause hearing loss 
or impairment. Wear OSHA-approved hearing protection 
when using this vacuum.

TOOL USE AND CARE

  

•  Always check the fi lters before each use. Do not use without 

a dust collection bag and fi lter in place.

•  Do not use with damaged cord or plug. 
•  Do not use if vacuum is not working properly.
•  Do not pull or carry by the cord, use cord as a handle, close 

a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. 
Do not run vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated 
surfaces.

•  Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the 

plug, not the cord

•  Turn off all controls before unplugging. 
•  Take notice of all safety and hazard notices on the vacuum.
•  All safety and hazard notices on the vacuum must be kept 

complete and legible.

•  Changes, add-ons, or conversions of the vacuum which 

might have an infl uence to the safety of the vacuum 
must not be undertaken without the permission of the 
manufacturer. 

•  Replacement parts must always comply with the technical 

requirements and the specifi cations of the manufacturer. 
This is always guaranteed with original replacement parts 
from the manufacturer.

•  Inspection intervals and times for recurring checks specifi ed 

in these Operating Instructions must be complied with.

•  In the event of operational malfunction the vacuum must be 

shut down immediately. The malfunction must be rectifi ed 
before starting the vacuum again.  

•  The dust bags must be emptied before transportation.
•  Should dust begin to blow out of the vacuum, it must be 

shut down, cleaned and the problem fi xed before returning 
to service. Failure to do so could put dangerous dust in the 
air and will void the warranty.

SERVICE

  

•  Adjustments, servicing, inspection work, and inspection 

intervals specifi ed in these 

Operating Instructions

, as well as 

any information on the replacement of parts and systems of the 
vacuum must be undertaken and complied with.

•  These activities can only be undertaken by qualifi ed 

personnel.

•  Make sure that electrical components used for replacement 

comply with the original parts and are correctly adjusted if 
necessary.

•  Before performing any maintenance, place the vacuum in 

the safety off position, which is the position of the vacuum 
when it cannot generate any hazard. To do this, switch 
off the dust collector, pull out main plug, and secure the 
vacuum against unintended startup.

 

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

 

 

•  Do not try to recover any liquid with this vacuum. This 

vacuum is for DRY RECOVERY only.

•  Do not use to pick up fl ammable or combustible liquids, 

such as gasoline. 

•  Do not pick up any objects that are burning or smoking, 

such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

•  Dispose of the dust so that you meet the requirements of 

local regulations.

•  

WARNING

 - to reduce the risk of electric shock - Do 

not use on wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store 
indoors.

•  This appliance is intended for commercial and household 

use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance 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 appliance is equipped with a cord having an 
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding 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 qualifi ed 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 appliance, any modifi cations to cord or plug will void warranty. If it will not fi t the outlet, have a proper 
outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. 
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole 
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only 
until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualifi ed electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the 
like 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.  Exception: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter 
is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.

 

Special NOTE: This vacuum’s motor is equipped with thermal overheat protection. If the motor runs too hot, it will shut down. You 
must wait for the motor to cool in order to re-start vacuum. Cleaning the fi lter will help prevent a repeat of this condition.
