SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General vacuum cleaner safety warnings.
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “vacuum cleaner” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) vacuum cleaner or
battery operated (cordless) vacuum cleaner.
1. Work Area Safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate vacuum cleaners in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Vacuum cleaners create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a vacuum cleaner. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2. Electrical Safety
a. Vacuum cleaner plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) vacuum cleaners.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose vacuum cleaners to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a vacuum cleaner will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e. When operating a vacuum cleaner outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a vacuum cleaner in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a vacuum cleaner. Do not use
a vacuum cleaner while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating vacuum cleaners may result
in serious personal injury.
b. 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.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying vacuum cleaners with your finger on the switch
or energising vacuum cleaners that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the vacuum cleaner on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the vacuum cleaner may result in
personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the vacuum
cleaner in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
