IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Dust extractors have motors and other parts
that can produce sparks during normal use.
Do not use within 30 feet of areas where explosive
materials may be present (such as gasoline pumps
and places where liquids like paint thinners, clean-
ers, solvents, etc. are stored).
• Do not use in the presence of explosive dust,
liquids or vapors.
• Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are
used.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use extra care when using on stairs.
• Do not pick up wet material. Do not use water
to settle dust.
• Do not handle battery pack or dust extractor
with wet hands.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or
smoking such as cigarettes, matches, or hot
ashes.
• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall
dust without fi lter in place. These are very fi ne
particles that may affect the performance of the
motor or be exhausted back into the air.
• To reduce the risk of health hazards from va-
pors or dust, do not vacuum toxic, carcinogenic
or other hazardous materials such as asbestos,
arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other
health endangering materials.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.
• Use special care when emptying heavily loaded
tanks.
• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust
box after each use.
• Do not leave dust extractor unattended when
battery pack is installed. Remove battery pack
when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, and anything else that may reduce air fl ow.
• Maintain dust extractor. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the dust extractor's operation. If damaged, have
the dust extractor repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• Use dust extractor only with specifi cally des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fi re.

USE AND CARE
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use dust extractor when you
are tired, distracted or under the infl uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a dust extractor can result in
foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can
result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields when operating dust
extractor.
• Wear a face or dust mask when working in dust
situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack in dust extractor that has the
switch on invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the dust extractor in unexpected situations.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fi ngers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Do not use without dust box and/or fi lter in
place.

liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
