 Do not place canister vac or batteries near fire or heat.

 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact

medical attention.
 Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the
presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of an open flame.
An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If
exposed, flush with water immediately.
 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 product’s operation. If damaged, have the

caused by poorly maintained products.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one canister vac may create a risk of injury
when used on another canister vac.
 Product service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
 When servicing product, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
