GENERAL 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 cleaner.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Grounded products must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the product should be
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
5. Double insulated products are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
6. 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.
7. Do not expose this product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an electric product will
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the product or pull the
Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY
9. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power
product. Do not use a power product while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.
12. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. During installation use non-skid safety
shoes and ANSI approved safety goggles.
TOOL USE AND CARE
13. Use the correct product for your application. The correct product will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
14. Do not use the power product if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any product
that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
15. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before storing the tool.
16. Store idle products out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Products are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
17. Maintain products with care. Keep products clean. Do not use a damaged product. Tag
damaged products “Do not use” until repaired.
18. 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 product serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained products.
SERVICE
20. Product service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
21. When servicing a product, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Air Filtration System. These carry important
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

4
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 (1) and the Filter Bag (2) clean, in place, and in good working
order.
8. Always unplug the 3-SPEED AIR CLEANER from its electrical outlet before
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
9. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using this
product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could
cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
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 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 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.

5
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. (See Figure C,)
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. (See Figure C.)
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. (See Figure C.)
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. (See Figure C.)
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.
UNPACKING
