WARNING

1. Read and understand the entire contents of this manual before attempting assembly or

operation. Do not use this machine until proper training and knowledge has been obtained.

2. Do not leave Dust Collector when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing.

3. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

4. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.

5. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

6. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If Dust Collector is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoor, or dropped in water, return it to a service center.

7. 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. Do not run Dust Collector over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

8. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

9. Do not handle plug or Dust Collector with wet hands.

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

11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from opening and moving parts.

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

13. Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place.

14. Turn off all controls before unplugging.

15. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

16. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.

17. Do not operate without hose connected to the inlet. Hazardous moving parts inside. Unplug before
removing inlet or inlet guard.

18. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersize cord will cause a drop
in the line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Grounding Instructions

Caution!

This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles
that accept the tool’s plug.*

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your Dust Collector is ready to run at 115 volt operation. The Dust
Collector is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks the one illustrated in
Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustratedinFigure B, may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug,
or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box, as shown in Figure B.

* Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
** Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.
