IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
This unit is for dry vacuuming only. Do not use to clean
up liquids.
Do not use without dust bowl and filter in place.
Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
The product does not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet, therefore it is always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when using the
product or when changing accessories.
Remove battery when the vacuum is not in use and
before servicing.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers
listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correla-
tion supplement 987000-432 .
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
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 sparks, burns,
or a fire.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning,
or when not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious personal
injury.
Do not use a battery pack or power tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair a power tool or
battery pack that has been damaged.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never
use or expose battery pack or any cordless product
in the presence of an open flame or temperature
above 265°F. An exploded battery can propel debris
and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the prod-
uct. Carrying battery products with your finger on the
switch or energizing battery products that have the switch
on invites accidents.

3 — English
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50°F
or more than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the hand vac’s operation. If damaged, have the
product serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained products.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when
used on another product.
Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
This product contains no serviceable parts.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this hand
vac. If you loan someone this hand vac, loan them
these instructions also.
