Personal Safety and Vac-
uum Cleaner Use
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use vacuum cleaner while tired or under
the infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating vacuum
cleaner may result in serious personal injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure vacuum clean-
er and tool switches are OFF before plugging
in or putting vacuum cleaner switch into power
tool activation mode or fi lter cleaning mode. Do
not keep power tool plugged into the vacuum
cleaner's power tool outlet during normal vacu-
uming. Plugging in vacuum cleaners or tools that
have the switch ON invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance both for you and the vacuum cleaner at all
times. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Proper footing and balance enables better control
of the vacuum cleaner in unexpected situations.
Do not vacuum burning, smoking or smoldering
things like cigarettes, matches or hot ashes. Fire
inside the vacuum cleaner tank may occur.
Do not use to vacuum fl ammable liquids, alcohol,
gases, or explosive dusts, like gasoline or other
fuels, lighter fl uid, varnish, polyurethane coat-
ings, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hy-
drogen, coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, or
gun powder. Electric motors create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts, hose, and suction nozzles. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Do not hold the hose against any body parts dur-
ing operation.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye and hear-
ing protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
Not suitable to vacuum hazardous or toxic sub-
stances or dusts e.g. asbestos. The fi lters will not
be able to capture all particles and may exhaust
them back into the environment.

Vacuum Cleaner Safety Rules

Vacuum cleaner Care
Do not use vacuum cleaner if switch does not turn
it ON or OFF. Any vacuum cleaner that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the vacuum cleaner. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
vacuum cleaner accidentally.
Never connect a tool with a rating greater than
the maximum amperes listed on the receptacle.
This vacuum cleaner has a power tool outlet for
use in conjunction with other appliances such as
sanders, jigsaws and planers; tools with greater
ratings may cause a fi re.
Do not vacuum dust when liquid/fl uid is contained
in the vacuum cleaner tank. Do not vacuum liq-
uids/fl uids when dust is in the tank. In either case
empty the tank and/or remove dust bag before
use so that dust does not cake and harden inside
the tank.
Dry fi lters completely after wet vacuuming or
use a second dry fi lter set for dust vacuuming.
Damp or wet fi lters will cake with dust or develop
mold or mildew.
Store idle vacuum cleaner out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Vacuum cleaners
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain vacuum cleaner with care. Properly
maintain vacuum cleaner to keep hose unob-
structed. Do not put any object into openings. Do
not use with any opening blocked; keep free of
dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air
fl ow. Any alteration or modifi cation is a misuse
and may result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the vacuum cleaners operation.
If damaged, have the vacuum cleaner serviced
before using. Poorly maintained vacuum cleaners
cause many accidents. Develop a periodic mainte-
nance schedule for your vacuum cleaner.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one vacuum cleaner may
become hazardous when used on another vacuum
cleaner.
