WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
•
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.
•
Store indoors. Do not expose to rain.
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 dust mask or use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution
when working in dusty
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.
•
Never stand on vacuum or use as a step stool.
•
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 tank and/or filter properly
installed.
•
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 risk, do not use to vacuum hazard-
ous, toxic or carcinogenic materials, such as
asbestos or pesticide.
•
Use special care when emptying heavily loaded
tanks.
•
To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty tank
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.
•
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.
•
Some wood contains preservatives and can be
toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and
skin contact when working with these materials.
Request and follow any safety information available
from your material supplier.
•
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.
• Always use common sense and be cautious
when using tools.
It is not possible to anticipate
every situation that could result in a dangerous out-
come. Do not use this tool if you do not understand
these operating instructions or you feel the work is
beyond your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or
a trained professional for additional information or
training.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
•
This product is suitable for collection of silica
dust when used in accordance with these in-
structions. To reduce the risk of health hazards
from other vapors or dust, do not vacuum
carcinogenic, toxic or hazardous materials
such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead,
pesticides or other health endangered 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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• The unit is compliant as an objective data
solution of OSHA Standard 29CRF 1926.1153,
assuming it is used in accordance with
MILWAUKEE instructions. Please reference
https://www.osha.gov for further details on compli-
ance methods. Visit https://www.milwaukeetool.
com for an objective data sheet.
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.
•
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.

manual, your battery pack and charger opera
-
tor’s manuals, and all labels on the vacuum,
battery pack, and charger.
