General Pneumatic and Power
Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety
warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term ″power tool″ in the
warnings refers to your (corded)
pneumatic power tool.
Work area safety1.
Keep work area clean and well lit. a.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
NEVER use this Vacuum Pump to b.
vent refrigerants into the air. It is
illegal to do so, harmful to the envi-
ronment, and poses a serious health
risk.
Do not operate power tools in c.
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create

Electrical safety2.
Power tool use and care4.
Power tool plugs must match the a.
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
NOTE: This Vacuum Pump has a
3-prong grounded plug.
Do not expose this Vacuum Pump b.
to rain or wet conditions. Use in
dry locations only.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use c.
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
When operating this Vacuum Pump d.
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.
ing and use common sense when
operating this Vacuum Pump. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use personal protective equip-b.
ment. Always wear ANSI-approved
eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Do not use this Vacuum Pump if a.
the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the b.
power source before storing the
power tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the Vacuum Pump accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the c.
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with this Vacuum Pump or these instructions to
operate. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for d.
any condition that may affect the
Vacuum Pump’s operation. If damaged, have it repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Use the Vacuum Pump in accor-e.
dance with these instructions,
taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of this Vacuum Pump
for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Have your Vacuum Pump serviced f.
by a qualied repair person. This
will ensure the safety of the Pump is
maintained.

GROUNDING
TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK
AND DEATH FROM
INCORRECT GROUNDING
WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualied
electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not
modify the power cord plug
provided with the tool. Never
remove the grounding prong
from the plug. Do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug
is damaged. If damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility
before use. If the plug will not
t the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug
and Outlet.)
The grounding prong in the plug is 2.
connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system
in the tool. The green wire in the cord
must be the only wire connected to
the tool’s grounding system and must
never be attached to an electrically
“live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug
and Outlet.)
The tool must be plugged into an 3.
appropriate outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and
outlet should look like those in the
preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong
Plug and Outlet.)
Double Insulated Tools: Tools
with Two Prong Plugs
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three
Prong Plugs
Tools marked with “Grounding Re-1.
quired” have a three wire cord and
three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing the risk
Tools marked “Double Insulated” do 1.
not require grounding. They have
a special double insulation system
whichsatisesOSHArequirements
and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Outlets for 2-Prong
Plug.)
