WARNING
Some dust created by sanding, ginding,
drilling and other workshop activities
contains chemicals known to the State
of California and other authorities to
cause cancer and birth defects and
other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
1 lead from lead-based paint
2 crystalline silica from bricks and
cement, other masonry products
and many types of stone, and
3 arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber.
If these or similar dusts are on the
surfaces where you are cleaning, small
particles may become airborne as a
result of the vacuuming process. Control
dust at the source where possible. Use
good work practices. When the
inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level, the
operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the type of dust
encountered.
WARNING
If the substance being vacuumed is a
commercial substance, review,
understand and follow all warnings and
instructions in the product literature and
material safety data sheet for that
substance and/or consult the material
manufacturer/supplier.
WARNING
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protection
Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be vacuuming or
otherwise disturbing asbestos,
immediately contact EPA, your
employer or a local OSHA
representative.
Vacuuming unsuitable materials may
block the suction hose. Switch off the
unit immediately and disconnect the
plug from the power supply. Then clear
the blockage.
Remove the filter bag and check correct
operation of the float before vacuuming
liquids or wet materials. Never work
without the filter element.
WARNING
If foam develops or liquid escapes from
the appliance, stop work immediately,
unplug the power cord and empty the
container.
When working with the vacuum cleaner,
always wrap your fingers tightly around
the handle tube. Keep your hand in this
position to have your vacuum cleaner
under control at all times. Make sure
your handle tube is in good condition
and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
In order to turn the vacuum cleaner on
after you have plugged the power supply
cord into the outlet, push the power
switch from position "0" to position "I."
