WET & DRY VACUUM SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal
injury and material damage.
Readthewholemanualcarefullyandmakesureyouknowhowtoswitchthetoolo󰀨inanemergency,
beforeoperatingthetool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
Theelectricmotorhasbeendesignedfor230Vand240Vonly.Alwayscheckthatthepowersupply
correspondstothevoltageontheratingplate.
Note: Thesupplyof230Vand240VonOzitotoolsareinterchangeableforAustraliaandNewZealand.
Note: The power outlet used for the vacuum must be protected by a 30mA residual current device or earth
leakagecircuitbreaker.
Ifthereplacementofthesupplycordisnecessary,thishastobedonebythemanufacturerorhisagentin
order to avoid a hazard.
Using an Extension Lead
Alwaysuseanapprovedextensionleadsuitableforthepowerinputofthistool.Beforeuse,inspectthe
extensionleadforsignsofdamage,wearandageing.Replacetheextensionleadifdamagedordefective.
Whenusinganextensionleadonareel,alwaysunwindtheleadcompletely.Useofanextensionlead
notsuitableforthepowerinputofthetoolorwhichisdamagedordefectivemayresultinariskofreand
electric shock.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Readallsafetywarningsandallinstructions.Failuretofollowthe
warningsandinstructionsmayresultinelectricshock,reand/orseriousinjury.
Saveallwarningsandinstructionsforfuturereference.Theterm“powertool”inthewarnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Powertoolscreatesparkswhichmayignitethedustorfumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. Thereisanincreasedriskofelectricshockifyourbodyisearthedorgrounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Waterenteringapowertoolwillincreasethe
risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damagedorentangledcordsincrease
the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply with a rated residual current of 30mA or less. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
momentofinattentionwhileoperatingpowertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
b.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.Protectiveequipmentsuchasdust
mask,non-skidsafetyshoes,hardhat,orhearingprotectionusedforappropriateconditionswillreduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carryingpowertoolswithyour
ngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertoolsthathavetheswitchoninvitesaccidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attachedtoarotatingpartofthepowertoolmayresultinpersonalinjury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Looseclothes,jewelleryorlonghaircanbecaughtinmovingparts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
toolwilldothejobbetterandsaferattherateforwhichitwasdesigned.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be
controlledwiththeswitchisdangerousandmustberepaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measuresreducetheriskofstartingthepowertoolaccidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Powertoolsaredangerousinthehands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools.Checkformisalignmentorbindingofmovingparts,breakageofpartsandany
otherconditionthatmaya󰀨ectthepowertool’soperation.Ifdamaged,havethepowertoolrepaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properlymaintainedcuttingtoolswithsharpcuttingedgesare
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operationsdi󰀨erentfromthoseintendedcouldresultinahazardoussituation.
5. Service
a. 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.
