benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.

TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used
on another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts and exhaust. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use
on a ladder or unstable support.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask must be used for appropriate conditions.
3
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Do not allow children to operate hand vac or play with
hand vac as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used near children.
This hand vac is intended for household use ONLY.
Use this hand vac ONLY for its intended use as described
in this manual. Use only the attachments recommended
in this manual.
If hand vac is not working properly, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return to
your nearest service center.
Do not abuse cord. Never carry charger or base by the
cord or yank to disconnect from electrical outlet. Grasp
charger, not the cord, and pull to unplug. Do not allow
cord to hang over edge of table or counter or to touch
hot surfaces.
Do not handle charger or hand vac with wet hands.
Do not put any objects in ventilation openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked. Keep openings free of
dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
NEVER vacuum materials that are burning or smoking,
such as hot coals, cigarette butts, matches, etc
Do not use without dust bowl or filter in place.
Turn off all controls before unplugging from or plugging
into an electrical outlet for charging.
Use extra care when using on stairs.
Do not use to pick up hard objects such as nails,
screws, coins, etc. Damage or injury could result.
Hand vac 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 hand vac or
when changing accessories.
Remove battery when the vacuum is not in use and
before servicing.
Use only the charger recommended for your hand
vac. Do not substitute any other charger. Use of another
charger could cause batteries to explode causing possible serious injury.
Do not place hand vac or batteries near fire or heat.
They may explode.
The hand vac should be charged in a location where the
temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery
leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with skin,
wash at least 10 minutes then seek immediate medical
attention.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use the vacuum
indoors only.
Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
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.
Electric shock could occur if charged outdoors or on
wet surfaces.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and
possible injury.

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,
• crystalline 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
