To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury:
– Do not leave appliance when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet
when not in use and before servic-
ing.
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC-
TRIC SHOCK-USE INDOORS
ONLY
– Do not allow to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
– Use only as discribed in this manu-
al. Use only manufacturer`s recom-
mended attachments.
– Do not use with damaged cord or
plug. If appliance is not working as
it should, has been dropped, dam-
aged, left outdoors, or dropprd into
water, return it to a service center.
– Do not pull or carry by cord, use
cord as a handle, close a door on
cord, or pull cord around sharp edg-
es or corners. Do not run appliance
over cord. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
– Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the
cord.
– Do not handle plug or appliance
with wet hands.
– Do not put any object into openings.
Do not use with any opening
blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair,
and anything that may reduce air
flow.
– Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers,
and all parts of body away from
openings and moving parts.
– Turn off all controls before unplug-
ging.
– Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.
– Do not use to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids, such as gaso-
line, or use in areas where they may
be present.
– Connect to a properly grounded
outlet only. See Grounding Instruc-
tion.
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appli-
ance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be in-
serted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in ac-
cordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the out-
let is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance-if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
This appliance is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit and has a grounding at-
tachment plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketchpicture A. Make
sure that the appliance is connected to
an outlet having the same configura-
tion as the plug. No adaptor should be
used with this appliance.

Note
To take the brush drive out of opera-
tion, immediately release brush drive
switch.
몇 Warning
Risk of damage. Only use the recom-
mended detergents. With respect to
different detergents the operator bears
the increased risk regarding the opera-
tional safety and danger of accident.
Only use detergents that are free from
solvents, hydrochloric acid and hydro-
fluoric acid.
Note
Do not use highly foaming detergents.
Observe the dosing notes.
Recommended detergents:
Open the cover of the fresh water
reservoir.
Pour in water/detergent mixture.
Maximum temperature of the liquid
50°C
Note
The fresh water reservoir cover can be
used to meter the detergent. The ca-
pacity of the cover up to the mark rep-
resents 1% of the fresh water reservoir
capacity.
Close the cover of the fresh water
reservoir.
Place the slider vertically.
Position the rotary handle for the
brush contact pressure in the drive
position.
Use the pushing handle to push the
appliance to the place of use.
Place the slider vertically and tilt the
lock up.
Install the transport wheels.
몇 Warning
Danger of damage due to leaking wa-
ter. Remove the waste water and fresh
water reservoirs before tilting the appli-
ance.
Remove the filled waste and fresh
water reservoirs from the appliance
and transport them separately.
Tilt the appliance to the side and
drive it to the place of use on its
transport wheels.
If the transport wheels hinder the use
of the appliance:
Press the transport wheel release
button and pull the transport wheel
out.
Insert the transport wheels into their
holder until they stop.
Place the slider vertically.
Adjust the rotary handle of the
brush contact pressure to the de-
sired value.
Note
Carry out the initial cleaning attempts
with less contact pressure. Increase
contact pressure step-by-step until the
desired cleaning result is achieved. A
correct setting of the contact pressure
reduces the wear and tear of the
brushes.
The brush drive is switched off when
there is overload.
When cleaning with microfibre rollers,
the contact pressure must not be ad-
justed higher than the position men-
tioned below. With a higher contact
pressure, there is a danger of destroy-
ing the microfibre rollers.
Danger
Check the mains cables of the ma-
chine each time before using the ma-
chine to see that it is not damaged.
Never operate a machine with dam-
aged cables. Get the damaged cables
replaced by an electrician.
Insert the looped end of the exten-
sion cable in the strain relief hook.
Plug in the mains plug.
If the detergent solution is to be
vacuumed off after the cleaning
process, use the vacuum bar lower-
ing pedal.
Swivel the slider toward the opera-
tor - the chassis is retracted and the
brushes touch the floor.
Turn on the brushes by using the
switch for the brush drive.
Turn on the brush irrigation by us-
ing the switch for the detergent so-
lution.
Move the appliance over the sur-
face to be processed by the slider.
몇 Warning!
Risk of damage to the floor covering.
Do not operate the appliance on the
spot.
Swivel the slider toward the opera-
tor - the chassis is retracted and the
