IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not
expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Do not leave the appliance when it is connected to a
power source. Unplug it from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
• Do not allow the appliance to be used as a toy. Pay close
attention when the appliance is used by or near children.
• Use this appliance ONLY as described in the manual. Use
only D WALT recommended attachments.
e
• Do not use this appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
If the appliance is not working correctly, or if it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water,
return it to a service center.
• Do not pull or carry this appliance by the cord, use the
cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the appliance
over the cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug this appliance by pulling on the cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not put any objects into the openings of the appliance.
Do not use the appliance with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair and anything else that may reduce
air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away
from the openings and moving parts.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging appliance.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• 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.
• 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,
installed humidifier or use DWV9316 anti-static hose
(standard on some models).
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty canister after
each use.

Additional Safety Information

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (See
Grounding Instructions).
• This vacuum meets the EPA lead-related Renovations,
Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule for HEPA vacuum only

when used with the DWV9320 or DWV9330 HEPA Filter.
(included with DWV012).
Contact the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for more information on their Renovations,
Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule.
• This vacuum is approved for use in OSHA Silica 1926.1153
dust collection applications when properly utilized per the
OSHA 1926.1153 ruling.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such
as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use to vacuum combustible explosive
materials, such as coal, grain, or other finely divided
combustible material.
• Do not use to vacuum hazardous, toxic or carcinogenic
materials, such as asbestos or pesticide, unless the
vacuuming of the material is specifically identified in this
instruction manual as an approved use.
• Never pick up explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel,
heating oil, paint thinner, etc.), acids or solvents.
• Do not use vacuum without filters in place, except as
described under Wet Pickup Applications.
• Some wood contains preservatives which can be
toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin
contact when working with these materials. Request
and follow any safety information available from your
material supplier.
• Do not use vacuum as a step ladder.
• Do not place heavy objects on vacuum.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity
of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18
gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
• If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be
marked with the suffix W-A or W following the cord
type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it is
acceptable for outdoor use.
