FOR HOUSEHOLD OR COMMERCIAL USE. BEFORE USING THE DUST EXTRACTOR, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL, YOUR TOOL, BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER OPERATOR’S MANUALS, AND ALL LABELS ON THE DUST EXTRACTOR, BATTERY PACK,CHARGER AND TOOL.
WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Dust extractors have motors and other parts that can produce sparks during normal use. Do not use within 10 metres 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 pick up wet material. Do not use water to settle dust.
• Do not handle battery pack or dust extractor with wet hands.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use dust extractor when you are tired, distracted or under the in uence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a dust extractor 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 dust tractor.
• Wear a face or dust mask when working in dust situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before inserting battery pack. Inserting battery pack in dust extractor that has the switch on invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the dust extractor in unexpected situations.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

USE AND CARE

• Do not use without dust box and/or lter in place.

• Do not use to pick up ammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they may be present.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without lter in place. These are very ne particles that may affect the performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air.

• To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dust, do not vacuum toxic, carcinogenic or other hazardous materials such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangering 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 specially designed to lter 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 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 ow.

• Maintain dust extractor. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the dust extractor’s operation.
  If damaged, have the dust extractor repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE ® service facility for a replacement.

BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE

• Use dust extractor only with speci cally des- ignated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Turn off all controls before removing battery pack.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
•  Before using the battery pack or charger read  the operator’s manuals, and any labels on the battery pack, charger and dust extractor.
• Recharge only with the charger speci ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
• 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 burns or a fire.
• Do not use damaged battery pack or dust extractor. 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.

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™ 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).
