The vacuum cleaner is suitable for the vacuuming
of dust, solid materials (broken glass, nails etc.),
liquids of any kind with the exception of highly
inflammable, combustible liquids and material that
is hotter than 60 °C.
This tool is not designed for use by persons
(including children) with physical, sensory or
mental disabilities, or with insufficient experience
and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety, or have
received instructions on how to use the tool by this
person.
This product is designed for industrial use.
Inflammable dust must not be vacuumed.
No inflammable or explosive solvents, material
saturated with solvent, dust that represents an
explosion hazard, liquids such as petrol, oil,
alcohol, thinner or material that is hotter than 60 °C
are allowed to be vacuumed. This would cause an
explosion and fire hazard ! You are not allowed to
use the appliance in the vicinity of inflammable
gases or substances.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
tions and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.
2General Safety Instructions
Before using the appliance, the user must
receive information, instructions and training
material on using the appliance and the materials
for which it is to be used (including details on safe
disposal of the extracted material).
For your own protection and for the
protection of your vacuum cleaner pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING
all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings
and instructions for future reference!
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate vacuum cleaners in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Vacuum cleaners
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a vacuum cleaner. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Vacuum cleaners plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) vacuum
cleaners. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Protect the vacuum cleaner from rain or damp
conditions. Do not immerse the cleaner or spray it
with a jet of water. Improper use can lead to electrical shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the vacuum
cleaner. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a vacuum cleaner outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a vacuum cleaner in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use a vacuum cleaner while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
vacuum cleaner may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental operation. Check that the
vacuum cleaner (or any connected power tool) is
switched off before lifting it, carrying it or
connecting it to the power supply. Accidents may
occur if you connect the vacuum cleaner or an
active power tool (when switched on) to the power
supply.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the vacuum cleaner in unexpected situations.
e) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
at a safe distance from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewelry or long hair could catch in the
suction hose or suction nozzle.
4) Vacuum cleaner use and care
a) Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any vacuum cleaner
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing vacuum cleaners. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
vacuum cleaner accidentally.
d) Store idle vacuum cleaners out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the vacuum cleaner or these instructions to
operate the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain vacuum cleaners. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
vacuum cleaner's operation. If damaged, have the
vacuum cleaner repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained vacuum
cleaners.
e) Use the vacuum cleaner, accessories, etc. in
accordance with these instructions. Take into
consideration the working conditions and tasks
required. Using vacuum cleaners for applications
other than those intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
5) Service
a) Have your vacuum cleaner serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
vacuum cleaner is maintained.
