is taken into consideration.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE
to the power source, verify that the voltage
of your power supply corresponds with
the voltage specied on the motor I.D.
nameplate. A power source with greater
voltage than needed can result in serious
injury to the user as well as damage to the
machine. If in doubt, contact a qualied
electrician before connecting to the power
source.
2. THIS TOOL IS FOR indoor use only. Do
not expose to rain or use in wet or damp
locations.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of an electrical malfunction or
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock. The motor of this machine is
wired for 120 V single phase operation and
is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a
3-prong grounding plug to t a grounded type
receptacle B. Do not remove the 3rd prong
(grounding pin) to make it t into an old 2-hole
wall socket or extension cord. If an adaptor
plug is used C, it must be attached to the
metal screw of the receptacle.

8
ENGLISH
NOTE: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal
in some areas, including Canada. Check
your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond
to your electrical outlet, consult a qualied
electrician before proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines
that could be operating on the same circuit. If
you are unsure, consult a qualied electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows
regularly, your machine may be operating on
a circuit that is close to its amperage draw
capacity. However, if an unusual amperage
draw does not exist and a power failure still
occurs, contact a qualied technician or our
service department.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you nd it necessary to use an extension
cord with your machine, use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plug and a matching 3-pole receptacle that
accepts the tool’s plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the
amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The accompanying chart shows
the correct size extension cord to be used
based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp
rating.
Amp
Rating Total Extension Cord Length
Feet Meters Feet Meters Feet Meters Feet Meters

15
ENGLISH
14102811
2. Unclip the bag clamp and remove the bag
from the machine.
3. Empty the bag (or simply dispose of the bag
and its contents and replace with a new
bag) disposing of the contents in a safe
and responsible manner that complies with

4. Re-install the bag and re-attach the clamp.
CLEANING OR REPLACING THE
FILTER BAG
TIP/HINT: To avoid potentially costly
down-time, consider keeping a spare lter
bag on-hand and nearby for use if needed.
After a period of time, depending on the
frequency of use, the lter bag may become
clogged and affect airow as well the overall
efciency of the unit. Should you notice a drop
in the efciency or performance of the unit, it
may be a sign that it is time to clean
the lter bag. If so, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off and unplug the machine.
2. Unclip the belt clamp and remove the bag
from the machine.
3. Clean the dust from inside the lter bag
using a vacuum.
4. For extreme cases, after the initial cleaning
with a vacuum, turn lter bag inside out
and vacuum a second time, laying the
bag on a at hard surface (such as a table
or workbench) and slowly passing the
vacuum nozzle over the entire surface
area.
5. Reinstall the bag and reattach the clamp.
NOTE: Filter bags can also be machine
washed (gentle cycle only) in cold or warm
water. Do not use hot water or detergent.
Make sure the bag has completely dried
before reinstalling on the machine. Make
sure to remove the belt clamp from the bag
before washing!
