CENTRAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate electric products in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while mounting or maintaining the 3- speed air

information. If unreadable or missing, contact the seller for a replacement.
2. Always wear safety impact eye goggles when mounting or performing maintenance on
the Air Filtration System. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
3. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is
adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil,
trash, and other debris. Do not use a power product in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts,
and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.
4. If placing this 3-SPEED AIR CLEANER on a table or shelf, make sure that the machine is
placed securely on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the weight of the machine.
5. If attaching the Air Filtration System to a ceiling, make sure the machine is attached
securely to joists capable of supporting the weight of the machine.
6. Make sure the Switch is in the “Off” position before plugging in the power cord.
7. Keep the Filter Net (Part 1) and the Filter Bag (Part 2) clean, in place, and in good
working order.
8. Always unplug the 3-SPEED AIR CLEANER from its electrical outlet before performing

GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the product. Never remove the grounding
prong from the plug. Do not use the product if the power cord or plug is damaged. If
damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDED PRODUCT: PRODUCTS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1. Products marked with “Grounding as Required” have a three wire cord and three prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the product
should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing
the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire in
the cord must be the only wire connected to
the product’s grounding system and must Figure A

5
never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
3. Your product must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the
following illustration. (See Figure A.)
EXTENSION CORDS
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a
two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension
cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible product damage.
3. The smaller the gauges number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one product, add the name plate amperes
and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with words to indicate it is
acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
