IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL VACUUM, BASICBEFORE USING THE VACUUM, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL AND ALL LABELS ON THE VACUUM. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.

WORK AREA SAFETY PERSONAL SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Vacuums have motors and other parts that can produce sparks during normal use. Do not use within 30 feet of areas where explosive materials may be present (such as gasoline pumps and places where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners, solvents, etc. are stored).
• Do not use in the presence of explosive dust, liquids or vapors.
• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are used.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use extra care when using on stairs.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Vacuum plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) vacuums. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Store Indoors. Do not expose vacuums to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a vacuum will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the vacuum. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appli-ance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• When operating a vacuum outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a vacuum in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use vacuum when you are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a vacuum can result in foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields when operating vacuum.
• Wear a dust mask or use an OSHA compliant vacuum solution when working in dusty situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-ance at all times. This enables better control of the vacuum in unexpected situations.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the vacuum. Carrying vacuums with your finger on the switch or energizing vacuums that have the switch on invites accidents.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

VACUUM USE AND CARE

• Do not use without dust cannister and/or filter in place.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smok-ing such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without filter in place. These are very fine particles that may affect the performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air.
• This product is suitable for collection of silica dust when used in accordance with these in-structions. To reduce the risk of health hazards from other vapors or dust, do not vacuum carcinogenic, toxic or hazardous materials such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangered materials.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust box after each use.
• Do not leave vacuum unattended when plugged in. Unplug when not in use and before servicing.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing vacuums. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the vacuum accidentally.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything else that may reduce air flow.
• Maintain vacuum. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the vacuum’s operation. If damaged, have the vacuum repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

SERVICE

• Have your vacuum serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the vacuum is maintained.
• This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement parts. See instructions for Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances.

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
