WARNING
Your vacuum may be supplied with a
harness. Carefully adjust the harness to
comfortably help to support the weight
of the product. Identify the quick release
mechanism and practice using it before
you start using the product. Its correct use
may prevent serious injury in the case of an
emergency. Never wear additional clothing
over the harness or otherwise restrict
access to the quick release mechanism.
VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Never operate the vacuum with only the
upper vacuum tube fitted. Failure to follow
this warning increases the risk of personal
injury.
Note: Without the lower vacuum tube fitted,
it is much easier to reach up inside the tube
towards the fan blade.
■ Do not operate the vacuum without the
debris collector bag assembly installed.
Flying debris could cause serious injury.
Make sure that the debris collector bag is
in good condition and completely closed
before operating the product.
■ Move the vacuum from side to side along
the outer edge of the debris. To avoid
clogging, do not place the vacuum tube
directly into the debris pile.
■ Hold the motor higher than the inlet end of
the vacuum tube.
■ To avoid serious injury to the operator
or damage to the product, do not try to
vacuum up rocks, broken glass, bottles, or
similar objects.
■ Avoid situations that could cause fire in
the debris collector bag. Do not operate
the product near an open flame. Do not
vacuum up warm ash from fireplaces and
barbecue pits. Do not vacuum up discarded
cigars or cigarettes unless the cinders are
completely cool.
■ Keep all parts of your body away from
any moving part. Rotating impeller blades
can cause severe injury. Stop the product
and ensure impeller blades have stopped
rotating before removing the tubes, opening
or removing debris bag.
■ When feeding material into the product,
make sure that the pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans, or other foreign objects are
not included.
■ Do not allow processed material to build
up in the discharge zone. This may prevent
proper discharge and can result in kickback
of material through the intake opening.
■ If the product becomes clogged, stop
the product and remove the battery pack
before cleaning the debris.
