WORK AREA SAFETY
• 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 materi-
als may be present (such as gasoline pumps and
places where liquids like paint thinners, cleaners,
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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Do not pick up wet material. Do not use water to
settle dust.
• Do not handle battery pack or dust extractor with
wet hands.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use dust extractor when you
are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
• The operation of a dust extractor can result in for-
eign objects being blown into eyes, which can result
in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or glass-
es with side shields when operating dust extractor.
• Wear a dust mask or use an OSHA compliant
dust extraction solution when working in dusty
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 bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
dust extractor in unexpected situations.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer's recommended attachments.
USE AND CARE
• Do not use without dust box and/or filter in place.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible
liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smok-
ing such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall
dust without filter in place. These are very fine
particles that may affect the performance of the
motor or be exhausted back into the air.
•This product is suitable for collection of silica
dust when used in accordance with these in-
structions. To reduce the risk of health hazards
from other vapors or dust, do not vacuum
carcinogenic, toxic or hazardous materials
such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead,
pesticides or other health endangered materials.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause can-
cer, 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 filter 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 flow.
• Maintain dust extractor. Check for misalignment
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.
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
• Use dust extractor only with specifically des-
ignated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• Turn off all controls before removing battery pack.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on
wet surfaces. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Before using the battery pack or charger read
the operator's manuals, and any labels on the
battery pack, charger and dust extractor.
2
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
• Do not use damaged battery pack or dust extrac-
tor. If battery pack or dust extractor are not working
as they should, have been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return them to a
service center.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
DUST EXTRACTORS
•Before using the dust extractor, read this opera-
tor's manual, your tool, battery pack and charger
operator's manuals, and all labels on the dust
extractor, battery pack, charger and tool.
• Always use side handle assembly with the correct
neck diameter for the rotary hammer/hammer
drill. An ill-fitting side handle will not tighten securely,
causing loss of control.
• Never use dust extractor without dust box and
HEPA filter in place. Never use water to clean
dust box or HEPA filter.
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
• To reduce the risk of injury, wear a
WARNING
dust mask or use an OSHA compli-
ant dust extraction solution when working in
dusty situations. Dust particles can harm your
lungs.
• Always use side handle provided with dust
extractor when using with a rotary hammer/
hammer drill. When dust extractor is removed
from the tool, always use side handle(s) supplied
with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal
injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fas-
tener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
