INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WHEN USING AN
E L E C T R I C A L
DUST EXTRACTOR, BASIC PRECAU-
TIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING DUST
EXTRACTOR. BEFORE USING THE DUST
EXTRACTOR, READ THIS OPERATOR'S
MANUAL, YOUR TOOL, BATTERY PACK
AND CHARGER OPERATOR'S MANU-
ALS, AND ALL LABELS ON THE DUST
EXTRACTOR, BATTERY PACK, CHAR-
GER AND TOOL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
MAY RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Dust extractors have motors and other parts that
can produce sparks during normal use.
Do not
use within 30 feet of areas where explosive materi-
als 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 dust extractor
with wet hands.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• STAY ALERT.
Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use dust extractor when you
are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a dust extractor can result in for-
eign objects being blown into eyes,
which can result
in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or glass-
es with side shields when operating dust extractor.
• Wear a dust mask or use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution
when working in dusty
situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack in dust extractor 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
power tool 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.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off -position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carry
-
ing the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
USE AND CARE
•
Do not use without dust box 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.
•
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.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded
tanks.
•
To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust
box after each use.
• Do not leave dust extractor unattended when
battery pack is installed.
Remove battery pack
when not in use and before servicing.
•
Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance
before making any adjustments, changing ac
-
cessories, or storing appliance.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the ap-
pliance accidentally.
•
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 dust extractor. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the dust
extractor's operation. If damaged, have the dust
extractor repaired before use.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
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.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance
or the battery pack (as applicable) except as
indicated in the instructions for use and care.
• Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
DUST EXTRACTORS
• Before using the dust extractor, read this opera-
tor’s manual, your tool, battery pack and charger
operator’s manuals, and all labels on the dust
extractor, battery pack, charger and tool.
•
Never use dust extractor without dust box and
HEPA filter in place. Never use water to clean
dust box or HEPA filter.
• Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fas-
tener may contact hidden wiring.
Fasteners con-
tacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
injury, when working
in dusty situations, wear appropriate respira-
tory protection or use an OSHA compliant dust
extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools.
It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
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.
•
WARNING
Some dust created by
power sanding, saw-
ing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activi-
ties 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.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
