•  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 correlation supplement 987000-432.
•  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 power tools 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 power tool 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 power tool 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 product. Carrying battery products with your finger on the switch or energizing battery products that have the switch on invites accidents.
•  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location. Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
•  Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the hand vac’s operation. If damaged, have the product serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained products.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used on another product.
• Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
•  Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
• This product contains no serviceable parts.
