ASSEMBLY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, always remove
the battery pack before removing the dust can-
ister. Do not use tool without dust canister and
filter in place.
CAUTION
Keep filter clean. Efficiency
of the vacuum is largely
dependent on the filter. A dirty filter will reduce
the air flow and overall efficiency of the system.
Do not clean with water. Remove from dust can-
ister and tap clean or blow off with compressed
air.
Removing/Installing the Filter
To
empty
the dust canister:
1. Turn OFF the tool.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. While holding over the trash, unlatch the dust
canister. Empty dust from the canister. Tap the
vacuum gently to dislodge any remaining dust.
4. To clean the filter, twist the filter counterclockwise to
unlock from the canister. Pull the filter away from the
vacuum and tap clean or blow off with compressed
air. Do not clean with water. Replace filter if dam-
aged or suction decreases (Cat. No. 49-90-0160).
To
install
the filter:
1. Twist the filter clockwise onto the dust canister.
NOTE:
Do not operate the vacuum without the dust
canister and filter in place.
Installing/Removing the Accessories
To install the nozzles, hoses or extensions, push
the accessory onto the vacuum inlet.
WORK AREA SAFETY
•
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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Do not pick up wet material.
Do not use water to
settle dust.
•
Do not handle battery pack or vacuum with wet
hands.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
STAY ALERT.
Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use vacuum when you are
tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
•
The operation of a vacuum 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 vacuum.
•
Wear a face or dust mask
when working in dust
situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack in vacuum that has the switch
on invites accidents.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the
vacuum 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.
USE AND CARE
•
Do not use without dust canister 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 smok-
ing
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.
•
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 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.
•
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 flow.
•
Maintain vacuum. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the vacu-
um'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.
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
•
Use vacuum only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
•
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.
•
Before using the battery pack or charger read
the operator’s manuals, and any labels on the
battery pack, charger and vacuum.
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
•
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
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
•
Do not use damaged battery pack or vacuum.
If battery pack or vacuum are not working as
they should, have been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors,or dropped into water, return them to a
service center.
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.
• Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
•Before using the vacuum, read this operator’s
manual, your battery pack and charger opera-
tor’s manuals, and all labels on the vacuum,
battery pack, and charger.
• Never use vacuum without dust canister and
filter in place. Never use water to clean filter.
• Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
