WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT USE WITH WATER-COOLED TOOL. USE ONLY FOR MASONRY DRILLING DUST COLLECTION.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT INJURY, the Dust Collection Attachment must be securely attached to workpiece.

When finished, turn off vacuum, remove attachment, then clean and store according to maintenance instructions.
