The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare
one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications
of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account

the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing
the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of

vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm,
organisation of work patterns.

When using this vacuum, basic safety precautions should always be followed including
the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING VACUUM

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not expose to rain. Store

indoors.

• Do not leave vacuum when connected to power source. Unplug from outlet and

remove battery when not in use and before servicing.

• Do not allow vacuum to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used

by or near children.

• Use this appliance ONLY as described in the manual. Use only D

EWALT

recommended attachments.

• Do not use this appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not
working correctly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water,
return it to a service center.

• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not unplug this appliance by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

• Do not put any objects into the openings of the appliance. Do not use the
appliance with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything else
that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all body parts away from the openings and
moving parts.

• Do not place outlet of vacuum near eyes or ears when operating.

• The blower operation can result in foreign objects being blown into eyes, which
can result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles when using blower feature.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

• Do not use without filter in place.

• Do not use the appliance to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as
gasoline, or use in areas where flammable or combustible liquids are present.

• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches
or hot ashes.

• Do not use in areas where explosive vapors may be present.

• Do not use to pick up explosive dust, or in areas where air contains explosive dust
such as coal, grain, or other combustible material.

• Static shocks are possible in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is
low. This is only temporary and does not affect the use of the vacuum. To reduce
the frequency of static shocks, add moisture to the air with a console or installed
humidifier.

• To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty canister after each use.

• Store idle tools. When not in use, the vacuum should be stored in a dry, high or
locked up place – out of the reach of children.

• Disconnect battery pack from vacuum and unplug vacuum from the power supply
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, servicing, moving or
storing the vacuum. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the appliance accidentally.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position before inserting
the battery pack or plugging the vacuum into a wall outlet.

• Never leave vacuum running unattended. Turn power off.

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the vacuum in unexpected situations.

• Do not use appliance if switch does not turn it on or off. Any appliance that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Turn off all controls before removing the battery or unplugging.

• This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only identical replacement
parts.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: When not in use, place vacuum on a stable surface where it will not

cause a tripping or falling hazard.

• This tool is all-round splashproof according to protection class IPX4. Do not
submerge the tool in water!

• Do not use the tool to vacuum asbestos.

• Do not use the tool to vacuum silicates.

• Do not use the tool to vacuum flammable liquids.

• Do not use the tool to vacuum hot particles.

• Ensure the inlet or outlet is not blocked or partially obstructed.

• Do not use vacuum as a step ladder.

• Do not place heavy objects on vacuum.

• If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix W-A
or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it is
acceptable for outdoor use.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual

current rating of 30mA or less.

WARNING: ALWAYS wear approved protective safety equipment complying with

the following standards:

• Eye protection: AS/NZS1337 Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications;

• Hearing protection: AS/NZS1270 Acoustics – Hearing Protection;

• Respiratory protection: AS/NZS1716 Respiratory Protective Devices.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• cr ystalline 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 filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes,

or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use AS/NZS1716 approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from
face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to
AS/NZS1270 during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this

product may contribute to hearing loss.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a stable surface where it
will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will

stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
