Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to observe the safety information and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

This dust extractor is not intended for use by children or persons with physical, sensory or mental impairments. It should not be used by persons who have insufficient experience and knowledge. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.

Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not play with the dust extractor.

WARNING

Do not vacuum any harmful substances, e.g. beech or oak wood dust, rock dust or asbestos. These substances are considered carcinogenic. Make sure you inform yourself about the applicable regulations/laws on how to handle harmful types of dust in your country.

Only use the dust extractor if you have been adequately informed about how to use it. Thorough instruction on how to use the equipment prevents accidental misuse and injuries.

WARNING

The dust extractor is only suitable for vacuuming dry substances. The penetration of liquids increases the risk of an electric shock.

NOTE: The dust extractor must only be used and stored indoors. Rain or moisture entering the top of the dust extractor will increase the risk of electric shock.

Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.

The dust extractor should be repaired exclusively by a qualified professional using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the dust extractor is maintained.

Do not clean the dust extractor by spraying a jet of water directly at it. Water entering the top of the dust extractor will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.

Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.

Protect the rechargeable battery against heat, e.g. including prolonged sun exposure, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short circuit.

Do not vacuum hot or burning dust or in potentially explosive areas. Dust can easily ignite or explode.
