1 Important safety instructions
Symbols used to mark
instructions
Prior to using the appliance for the first time, be sure to read
this document through and keep it ready to hand.
DANGER
Danger that leads directly to serious or irreversible injuries,
or even death.
WARNING
Danger that can lead to serious injuries or even death.
CAUTION
Danger that can lead to minor injuries and damage.
The appliance must
• only be used by persons, who have been instructed in its correct
usage and explicitly commissioned with the task of operating it
• only be operated under supervision
• not be used by children
• not be used by mentally or physically disabled persons
Before starting work, the operating staff must be informed on and
trained within:
• use of the vacuum cleaner
• risks associated with the material to be picked up
• safe disposal of the picked up material
Purpose and intended use
2
1. Do not use any unsafe work techniques.
2. Never use the vacuum cleaner without a filter.
3. Switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug in the
following situations:
- Prior to cleaning and servicing
- Prior to replacing components
- Prior to changing over the appliance
- If foam develops or liquid emerges
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country of use, observe recognised regulations for safety and proper use.
Since 1997, there is a new division of hazardous dusts and their assigned vacuum machines. These are regulatedby IEC 60335-2-69
(world wide) and by EN 60335-2-69 (European wide).
The safety label on the machine warns:
This appliance contains dust hazardous to health. Emptying and
maintenance operations, including removal of the dust collecting
means, must only be carried out by authorised personnel wearing
suitable personal protection. Operate only after the full filtration system has been fitted and checked.
Dust Class H (high). The dusts which belong to this class are:
dusts with OEL values1), all carcinogenic dusts and dusts
which are mixed with pathogenic agents. Vacuums for Dust
Class H are tested in their entirety and have a maximum degree of
permeability of 0.005%. The disposal must be dust free.
1)
OEL values = Occupational Exposure Limit
ATTIX 30/50 H/M
Dust Class M (medium). The dusts which belong to this class
are: dusts with OEL values1) > 0.1 mg/m³ as well as saw dust.
The machine is tested in its entirety by vacuums for this dust
class. The maximum degree of permeability is 0.1% and the disposal must be low dust.
The air flow in Safety Vacuum systems has to be strictly controlled
to achieve a minimum flow rate of V
= 20 m/s in the suction hose.
min
The vacuum cleaners ATTIX 30-XH and ATTIX 50-XH are suitable
to pick up
• dry, nonflammable dust, non flammable liquids, hazadous dusts
with OEL values, carcinogenic dusts, dusts containing germs
The vacuum cleaners ATTIX 30-XH PC e ATTIX 50-XH PC are also
approved for asbestos abatement (TRGS 519).
The vacuum cleaners ATTIX 30-XM and ATTIX 50-XM are suitable
to pick up
• dry, nonflammable dust, non flammable liquids, sawdust and
hazadous dusts with OEL values > 0.1 mg/m³

Transport
Storage
Electrical connection
Extension lead
The vacuum cleaners are suitable for commercial use, such as e.g.
in
• Hotels, Schools, Hospitals, Factories, Shops, Offices, Hire shops
Any other use is considered as improper use. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting for such use. The risk for
such use is borne solely by the user.
Proper use also includes proper operation, servicing and repairs as
specified by the manufacturer.
1. Before transporting the dirt tank, close all the locks.
2. Do not tilt the cleaner if there is liquid in the dirt tank.
3. Do not use a crane hook to lift the cleaner.
1. Store the appliance in a dry place, protected from frost.
1. It is recommended that the vacuum cleaner should be connected
via a residual current circuit breaker.
2. Arrange the electrical parts (sockets, plugs and couplings) and
lay down the extension lead so that the protection class is maintained.
3. Connectors and couplings of power supply cords and extension
leads must be watertight.
1. As an extension lead, only use the version specified by the man-
ufacturer or one of a higher quality. See operating instructions.
2. When using an extension lead, check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length Cross section
< 16 A < 25 A
up to 20 m 1.5 mm
20 to 50 m 2.5 mm

Maintenance, cleaning and
repair
During the following work, ensure that dust is not unnecessarily
spread around. Wear a P2 bresthing mask.
CAUTION: In the case of asbestos abatement wear additional single-use clothing.

Clean the water level limiting device regularly and check for signs of
damage.
Only carry out maintenance work described in the operating instructions.
Always pull the out the mains plug before cleaning and maintenance
of the vacuum cleaner.
During maintenance and cleaning, handle the vacuum cleaner in
such a manner that there is no danger for maintenance staff or other
persons.
In the maintenance area
1. Use filtered compulsory ventilation
2. Wear protective clothing
3. Clean the maintenance area so that no harmful substances get
into the surroundings.
Before removing the vacuum cleaner from the area contaminated
with harmful substances:
1. Clean the outside of the vacuum cleaner, wipe it clean or pack
the vacuum cleaner in well sealed packaging
2. and avoid spreading deposited harmful dust.
After use, in asbestos contaminated areas, the machine must be
cleaned by an authorised person according to TGRS 519.
During maintenance and repair work all contaminated parts that
could not be cleaned satisfactorily must be:
1. packed in well sealed bags
2. disposed of in a manner that complies with valid regulations for
such waste removal.
At least once a year, a Nilfisk-ALTO technician or an instructed person must perform a technical inspection including filters, air tightness and control mechanisms. According to AA.22.201.2 appliances
in class H must have their filtration efficiency checked once a year. If
the effiency of the filter does not fulfil the requirements for dust class
H, the filter must be replaced, and the new filter must be tested according to AA.22.201.2.

Hazardous materials
Using the vacuum cleaner for
asbestos abatement work
WARNING
Hazardous materials.
Vacuuming up hazardous materials can lead to serious or
even fatal injuries
1. The following materials must not be picked up by the
vacuum cleaner:
- hot materials (burning cigarettes, hot ash, etc.)
- flammable, explosive, aggressive liquids (e.g. petrol,
solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.)
- flammable, explosive dust (e.g. magnesium or alumin-
ium dust, etc.)
WARNING
To pick up materials containing asbestos:
1. ATTIX 30-XH and ATTIX 50-XH can be used for picking up
asbestos.
2. Use a suction hose with a diameter of 36 mm.
Use the closable plastic sack to ensure dust-free transport of
the vacuum cleaner and contaminated parts (hose, hand pipe,
nozzles, etc.). Once the asbestos vacuum cleaner has been
used in an exclusion area as defined in TRGS 519, it should
no longer be used in so-called “white” areas. Exceptions are
only permitted if the asbestos cleaner has previously been
completely decontaminated by a specialist as specified in
TRGS 519 No. 2.7 (e.g. not only the outer case but also, for
example, the cooling air rooms, the installation rooms for
electrical supplies, the supplies themselves, etc.). A written
report must be made by a specialist and signed by him.
When picking up materials containing asbestos the exhaust
air must not be returned into the room. Use the exhaust air
socket and a hose with a length of maximum 4 m and a
nominal diameter of minimum 50 mm.
Spare parts and accessories
Emptying dirt tank
CAUTION
Spare parts and accessories.
The use of non-genuine spare parts and accessories can
impair the safety of the appliance.
1. Only use spare parts and accessories from Nilfisk-Alto.
2. Use only the brushes supplied with the vacuum cleaner
or specified in the operating manual.
CAUTION
Picking up environmentally hazardous materials.
Materials picked up can present a hazard to the
environment.
1. Dispose of the dirt in accordance with legal regulations.
