SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

4.  Use only as described in the manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
5.  Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If tool is not working as it should, has been dropped, 

damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, take it to a service center.

6.  Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around 

sharp edges or corners. Do not run tool over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

7.  Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
8.  Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
9.  Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, 

lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

10.  Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
11.  Turn off all controls before unplugging.
12.  Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
13.  Do  not  use  to  pick  up  flammable  or  combustible  liquids,  such  as  gasoline,  or  use  in  areas 

where they may be present.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Refer to User Manual frequently and use it to instruct others who may use this tool. If someone 

borrows this tool, make sure they have these instructions.

2.  This  tool  is  provided  with  double  insulation.  Use  only  manufacturer  approved  replacement 

parts. See Maintenance on Page 18.

3.  Unplug before connecting the debris collection bag.

When using vacuum mode:

1.   Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
2.    Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place.

Getting Started

Identify all the parts packaged in the carton against the parts list. Remove all protective materials 
and place parts on a non-abrasive surface to avoid scratching. Please contact our customer service 
center (Monday-Friday 8:30AM-5:00PM ET) at 1-866-902-9690 if anything is missing.

Caution

Read  all  the  instructions  before  assembly.  Failure  to  do  so  may  result  in  correct  assembly  and 
potential injury! Assemble product on a soft, non-abrasive surface such as carpet or cardboard to 
avoid damaging the item. Seek assistance to assemble bulky or heavy items.

Warning

1.   Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions cause a loss of 

control.

2.   The  tool’s  plug  must  match  the  outlet.  Never  modify  the  plug  in  any  way.  Do  not  use  any 

adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce 
risk of electric shock.

3.   Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such 

as  dust  mask,  non-skid  safety  shoes,  hard  hat,  or  hearing  protection  used  for  appropriate 
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

4.   Before using the tool and after any impact, check for signs of wear or damage, and repair as 

necessary.
