• Do not place outlet of vacuum near eyes or ears when operating.
• The blower operation can result in foreign objects being blown into
eyes, which can result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
when using blower feature.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.

• Do not use without filter in place.
• Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable or combustible
liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where flammable or
combustible liquids are present.

cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
• Do not use in areas where explosive vapors may be present.
• Do not use to pick up explosive dust, or in areas where air contains
explosive dust such as coal, grain, or other combustible material.
• 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.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty canister after each use.
• Store idle tools. When not in use, the vacuum should be stored in
a dry, high or locked up place – out of the reach of children.
• Disconnect battery pack from vacuum and unplug vacuum from
the power supply before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, servicing, moving or storing the vacuum. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position
before inserting the battery pack or plugging the vacuum into a
wall outlet.
• Never leave vacuum running unattended. Turn power off.
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas invite accidents.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the vacuum
in unexpected situations.
