IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
•
Vacuums 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.
•
Use extra care when using on stairs.
•
Do not pick up wet material.
Do not use water to
settle dust.
•
Do not handle battery pack or vacuum with wet
hands.
•
Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall
dust without f lter in place.
These are very fi ne
particles that may affect the performance of the
motor or be exhausted back into the air.
•
To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors
or dust, do not vacuum toxic, carcinogenic or
other hazardous materials
such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other
health endangering materials.
•
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, 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 fi lter out microscopic particles.
•
Use special care when emptying heavily loaded
tanks.
•
To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust
canister 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 into openings.
Do not use
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything else that may reduce air fl ow.
•
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.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for a free
replacement.
•
Use vacuum only with specif cally designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fi re.
•
Turn off all controls before removing battery pack.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use
on wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.

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
