IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Polarization Instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized out-
let 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 the proper out-
let. Do not change the plug in any way.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must
be inserted into a appropriate outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
- Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the dust extractor - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Health hazard by dust
WARNING!

construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California)
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
– lead from lead-based paints,
– crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and
– arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
The 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 dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. Wash
hands after handling.
