• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

USE AND CARE

• Do not use without dust box 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 vapours or dust, do not vacuum carcinogenic, toxic or hazardous materials such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangered materials.
• **** WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other  masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe- cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust box after each use.
• Do not leave dust extractor unattended when battery pack is installed. Remove battery pack when not in use and before servicing.

• Do not use damaged battery pack or dust extrac- tor. If battery pack or dust extractor are not working as they should, have been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return them to a service centre.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR DUST EXTRACTORS

• Before using the dust extractor, read this opera- tor’s manual, your tool, battery pack and charger operator’s manuals, and all labels on the dust extractor, battery pack, charger and tool.
• Always use side handle assembly with the correct neck diameter for the rotary hammer/hammer drill. An ill-fitting side handle will not tighten securely, causing loss of control.
• Never use dust extractor without dust box and HEPA filter in place. Never use water to clean dust box or HEPA filter.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
• **** WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use a suitable dust extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not understand these operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond your capability; contact MILWAUKEE® Tool or a trained professional for additional information or training.
• Always use side handle provided with dusť extractor when using with a rotary hammer/ hammer drill. When dust extractor is removed from the tool, always use side handle(s) supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces; when performing an operation where the fas- tener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners con- tacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Removal and Cleaning of Dust Box and Filter

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or use a suitable dust extraction solution. Keep filter clean. Efficiency of the HAMMERVAC M is largely dependent on the filter. A dirty filter will reduce the air flow and overall efficiency of the system. Do not clean with water or compressed air.

Disposal of Dust
Regular filter cleaning and dust box emptying are an essential part of regular maintenance on the HAMMERVAC™™, as a full dust box or filter will reduce the effectiveness of the unit. Carefully transfer the filter or collected dust to a suitable container with a tight-fitting lid to minimise the amount of dust that re-enters the air. Ensure minimal dust is allowed to escape when emptying dust boxes or cleaning filters. Disposal of dust needs to be done in accordance with local regulations.

Cleaning Dust Box
Wear suitable personal protective equipment and remove any remaining dust in the dust box port thoroughly after the dust box has been removed and appropriately handled, e.g., by using a compliant dust extraction system (Class M recommended as a minimum) in accordance with local regulations.

Disposal of HEPA Filter
After about 1,500 holes or loss of suction, discard the HEPA filter by cleaning the dust box (refer to the “Cleaning Dust Box” section) and carefully transferring the HEPA filter to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Disposal of HEPA filter needs to be done in accordance with local regulations. Replace HEPA filter with a correct replacement HEPA filter (Cat. No. 49902306).

Installing/Removing Nozzle Assembly

To install the nozzle assembly supplied with the tool, or acces- sory nozzles:

1. With the nozzle assembly pointing straight up, line up the lugs of the nozzle assembly with the lugs on the front of the HAMMERVACTM. The unlock symbol on the nozzle as- sembly will line up with the depth gauge on the top of the HAMMERVAC TM
   

2. Turn the nozzle assembly left or right to lock into place. The lock symbol on the nozzle assembly will line up with the depth gauge on the top of the HAMMERVACTM.

3. To remove, reverse the proce- dure.

Installing/Removing Nozzle

Replace the nozzle:

• After drilling about 1500 holes,
• When the bit brush shows signs of wear,
• When suction is reduced,
• When dust escapes through the bit brush during use
  

To replace the Standard (Cat. No. 14-52-0105 and Large Cat. No. 14-52-0110) nozzles, ro- tate the nozzle release lever up to the open position and pull out nozzle from the lower nozzle assembly (Cat. No. 42-20-0615). Slide the new nozzle into the lower nozzle assembly and rotate the nozzle release lever down to the closed position.
