shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

  •  Static shocks are possible in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is 

low. This is only temporary and does not affect the use of the vacuum. To reduce 

the frequency of static shocks, add moisture to the air with a console or installed 

humidifier.

  •  To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty canister after each use.

When not in use, the vacuum should be stored in a dry, high or 

locked up place – out of the reach of children.

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, servicing, moving or 
storing the vacuum.

the appliance accidentally.

Be sure the switch is in the OFF position before inserting 

the battery pack or plugging the vacuum into a wall outlet. 

  •  Never leave vacuum running unattended. Turn power off. 
  •  Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite 

accidents.

  •  Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

balance enables better control of the vacuum in unexpected situations.
