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.
ThesupplycoredassessedastypeYattachedbyusingAS/NZS60335-1.
Ifthesupplycordisdamaged,itmustbereplacedbyanelectricianorapowertoolrepairer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.
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 30 mA 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.
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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
graspingsurfacesdonotallowforsafehandlingandcontrolofthetoolinunexpectedsituations.
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.
b. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
itsserviceagentorsimilarlyqualiedpersonsinordertoavoidahazard.
