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 materials
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 inuence 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, ngers, 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 lter in place.
•Do not use to pick up ammable or combustible
liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking
such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
•Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall
dust without lter in place. These are very ne
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 instructions.
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 activi-
ties contains chemicals known to cause cancer, 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 specially designed to
lter 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 bat-
tery 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 ow.
•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 im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
aMILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
•Use dust extractor only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and re.
•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.
•Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re 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 re.
•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 qualied 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.
•Never use dust extractor without dust box and
HEPA lter in place. Never use water to clean dust
box or HEPA lter.
•Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, wear a
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(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 fastener
may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury and damage, never immerse
your tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or
allow a liquid to ow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles
clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild
soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use ammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger
to the nearest service center.
To install the dust box:
1. Slide the dust box into the body of the
HAMMERVAC™.

the dust box and HEPA lter in place. Dust box cannot
be installed without HEPA lter.
CAUTION
Keep lter clean. Efciency of the
HAMMERVAC™ is largely depen-
dent on the lter. A dirty lter will reduce the air
ow and overall efciency of the system. Do not
clean with water or compressed air. Remove from
dust box and tap clean.
