or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
vacuum cleaner may result in serious personal
injury.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure vacuum
cleaner 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 vacuuming. Plug-
ging in vacuum cleaners or tools that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance both for you and the vacuum cleaner
at all times. Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs. Proper footing and balance enables bet-
ter control of the vacuum cleaner in unexpected
situations.
Do not vacuum burning, smoking or smol-
dering 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 gas-
oline or other fuels, lighter fl uid, varnish,
polyurethane coatings, cleaners, oil-based
paints, natural gas, hydrogen, 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, clothing, and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts, hose, and suction
nozzles. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Do not hold the hose against any body parts
during operation.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye and
hearing 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
substances 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 liquids/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 vacu-
uming. 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 un-
obstructed. Do not put any object into open-
ings. 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 mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the vacuum clean-
ers operation. If damaged, have the vacuum
cleaner serviced before using. Poorly main-
tained vacuum cleaners cause many accidents.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your
vacuum cleaner.
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso-
ries that may be suitable for one vacuum cleaner
may become hazardous when used on another
vacuum cleaner.
Service
Only qualifi ed repair personnel must perform
vacuum cleaner service. Service or mainte-
nance performed by unqualifi ed personnel could
result in a risk of injury. For example: internal
wires may be misplaced or pinched, safety guard
return springs may be improperly mounted.
When servicing a vacuum cleaner, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of this
