accessories used when picking-up hazardous materials
should be handled according to the regulations valid
for the vacuumed material.

• Do not use the machine unless filters are fitted.

• If the cleaner is not working properly or has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to
a service center or dealer.

• Use only as described in this manual and only with the
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• The use of this machine in conjunction with the pick-up of
hazardous materials (such as asbestos) has not been
investigated by Underwriters laboratories Inc.

• BEFORE YOU PLUG IN YOUR CLEANER, check the
rating plate to see if the rated voltage agrees within 10% of
the voltage available.

• This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use only
identical replacement parts. See instructions for servicing
of double insulated appliances.

Servicing double-insulated appliances

In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of earthing. No earthing means is provided
on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for
earthing be added to the appliance. Servicing a double­insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appli­ance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double
insulated appliance is marked with the words

"DOUBLE INSULATION" or "DOUBLE INSULATED."

The symbol (square within a square)
may also be used on the product.

Noise level according to BS:

58,5 dB(A)

Noise level with the nozzle against the floor
according to IEC 704:

76 dB(A)

This appliance conforms with EC-Directive 89/336/EEC,
EEC, 73/23/EEC, 93/68/EEC.

membrane over the flanged edge on the inlet. Secure with the
lock washer. Use only original dust bags.

3. Hose connection

Push the hose coupling all the way in and turn clockwise.

4. Tubes

Backsaver wand

Fit the two sections together and twist the sections so that the
locking device snaps in locking position in the wand. Note that
you can twist the wands in two different angles. To release the
wands, push the button (1) at the locking device.

Telescopic extension tube

Push down the catch and then adjust the length. Max.950mm,
min.630mm.

4b) Parking clip

During and after cleaning you can park the hose with tubes
and nozzle. Press the parking clip which is plased at the
combination nozzle inside the groove on the back-side of the
container.

5. Tools

The accessories shown in the pictures may vary from model
to model.

a-b) Combination nozzle

Adjust the nozzle according to the requirements of the floor
you are cleaning. Work with the brush on hard floors and
without it on soft floors.

c) Crevice nozzle

Use to clean furniture, radiators and others hard-to-reach
places.

d) Small combi-nozzle

The small combi-nozzle combines a dusting brush for furniture,
picture frames, mouldings etc. with a fold-out nozzle for clea­ning curtains, furniture and other soft surfaces.

6. Suction control

The suction control in the hose handle lets you regulate the
air-flow to prevent the nozzles from fastening to the surfaces
you are vacuum cleaning.

7. Start/Stop

a)Foot-operated on/off switch.
b)Plug-in point for powered carpet nozzle. Power is sup-

plied to the socket when the machine is switched on.

8. Warning!

Never attempt to vacuum liquid, glass fragments or ashes!
Wet surfaces can expose the operator to possible electri-

cal shock.

9. Filter

The filters are located inside the lid. To reach them lift out
the filter holder(a). The standard filter(b) and fine filter (c)
should be inspected at regular intervals,e.g. when you
change dust bags, and replace if necessary.Instead of
these two filters you can fit a micro filter of HEPA-quality
(e), wich traps 99,99% of all particles larger than 0,3
microns. The machine is also fitted with a backupp filter (d)
located above rhe motor. This filter should also be inspec­ted and replaced if necessary.

IMPORTANT!

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a specially de­signed cable, which if damaged, must be replaced by a
cable of the same type. These cables are avaible at
authorized service shops and must be installed by trained
personnel.

Your vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal cut-out to
protect the motor and other vital machine parts from
overheating. Should the machine cut out, you will have to
wait at least 5-10 minutes for it to automatically reset.
While you are waiting, switch the machine off and unplug
it, then check the hose, dust bag and filters to be sure that
nothing is blocking the flow of air through the machine.

NB!

Remove the plug from the socket before performing
service or maintenance.

properly maintained and used in accordance with the
following instructions. These instructions have been pre­pared with safety and efficiency paramount.

The MACHINE OPERATOR must be trained by a suitably
qualified instructor, and be made aware of the relevant
regulations and legislation currently in force at the time of
use.

CAUTION - This machine MUST NOT be used in explosi­ve or inflammable atmospheres or where such atmosphe­res are likely to be produced by the presence of volatile
liquid or inflammable gas or vapour.

CAUTION - In no circumstances should the power supply
cord be wrapped around fingers or any part of the opera­tors person.

CAUTION - The electrical supply plug must not be subjected
to undue stress by pulling on the power supply cord.

Your MACHINE must only be connected to an electrical
supply of the same voltage and frequency as indicated on the
rating plate. Ensure that the plug fitted to the end of the power
supply cord is suitable for your supply socket, if not refer to the
information contained in 'Electrical Connections', or consult a
qualified electrician. The electrical installation from which the
supply is drawn must be maintained to current Institute of
Electrical Engineers wiring regulations.

REGULAR SERVICING and INSPECTION of your machine
must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel in accor­dance with relevant legislation and regulations. In particular,
electrical tests for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and
condition of the flexible cord should be checked frequently. In

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

(Only applicable to UK)

GROUNDED MACHINES
IMPORTANT

240 volt 50 Hz. machines are fitted with a 13 amp. 3 pin
moulded plug. the plug is fitted with a 7 amp. detachable fuse.
The correct replacement for the fuse is identified by marking
or colour coding. Only fuses that are ASTA approved to BS
1362 should be fitted. Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted. Replacement fuse covers are available at any
electrical retail outlet. If the available socket outlet is not
suitable for the plug supplied, the plug must be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted. The plug thus cut off MUST BE
DESTROYED for safety reasons before being disposed of.
Machines built for other voltages and frequencies are not
normally supplied with a fitted plug. If it is necessary to fit a
plug, the wires in this power supply cord are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

GREEN & YELLOW-EARTH
BLUE-NEUTRAL
BROWN-LIVE

To connect the new plug:

The wire which is coloured green & yellow must be connected
to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or
by the safety earth symbol
or coloured green or
green & yellow. The wire which
is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter 'N' or is coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'L' or is
coloured red or brown. If the plug to be fitted does not conform
to the above notation then consult a qualified electrician.

DOUBLE-INSULATED MACHINES
IMPORTANT

240 volt 50 Hz. machines are fitted with a 13 amp. 3 pin
moulded plug. the plug is fitted with a 13 amp. detachable
fuse. The correct replacement for the fuse is identified by
marking or colour coding. Only fuses that are ASTA
approved to BS 1362 should be fitted. Never use the plug

Machines built for other voltages and frequencies are not
normally supplied with a fitted plug.
If it is necessary to fit a plug, the wires in this power supply
cord are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE-NEUTRAL
BROWN-LIVE

To connect the new plug:

If using a three-pin plug, do not make any connection to the
the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘E’
or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or
green & yellow. This machine is double-insulated and no
earth connection is necessary.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or is
coloured black or blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or is
