This unit is for dry vacuuming only. Do not use to clean
up liquids.
Do not use without dust bowl and filter in place.
Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
The product does not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet, therefore it is always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when using the
product or when changing accessories.
Remove battery when the vacuum is not in use and
before servicing.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers
listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correla-
tion supplement 988000-302.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use products only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning,
or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious personal
injury.
Do not use a battery pack or product that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair a product or battery
pack that has been damaged.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never
use or expose battery pack or any cordless product
in the presence of an open flame or temperature
above 265°F. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
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 prod-
uct. Carrying battery products with your finger on the
switch or energizing battery products that have the switch
on invites accidents.
