• Sawdust and dusts hazardous to
health, including dusts with OEL values
0.1 mg/m³

• Flammable, dry dust in Zone 22

Use the cleaner only if it is certain that no ac­tive sources of ignition can be sucked in.

Conductive extraction equipment, e.g. extrac­tion hoods on machines and conductive parts
of machining equipment (e.g. equipment
in protective class II) that are not earthed
through the cleaner, must be earthed in some
other way to prevent electrostatic charges.

When picking up fl ammable dust in Zone 22,
the dirt tank must be emptied as required, but
always after use.

It must be assured that dust not accumulate
on the appliance by regular cleaning.

The vacuum cleaner must be used only, if all
fi lters, as well as the fi lter for the motor cool­ing air, are attached and without damage.

The cleaner is not suitable for extraction on
machining equipment in operation that could
produce sources of ignition.

When dust removers are used, the rate at
which air is exchanged in the room must be
adequate if the exhaust air from the vacuum
cleaner is blown into the room (please ob­serve regulations valid in your country).

The appliance is suitable for commercial use,
such as e.g. in

• Hotels, Schools, Hospitals, Factories,

Shops, Offi ces, Hire shops

Any other use is considered as improper use.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any
damage resulting from such use. The risk for
such use is borne solely by the user.
Proper use also includes proper operation,
servicing and repairs as specifi ed by the
manufacturer. See operating instructions.

2. Do not use the cleaner with damaged or
missing antistatic clamp. Risk of explosion
due to static discharge in explosive atmos­pheres.

3. The hose diameter and the setting for the
suction hose diameter must be the same.

4. When the motor is running, hold the suction
hose shut. For safety reasons, an acoustic
warning sounds if the air speed in the suction
hose drops to below 20 m/s.

Transport

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.

Storage

1. Store the appliance in a dry place, protected
from frost.

Electrical connection

1. IIt is recommended that the vacuum cleaner
should be connected via a residual current
circuit breaker.

2. When picking up fl ammable dust in zone 22,
extension lines, couplings and adapters must
not be used.

3. Arrange the electrical parts (sockets, plugs
and couplings) and lay down the extension
lead so that the protection class is main­tained.

4. Connectors and couplings of power supply
cords and extension leads must be water­tight.

Extension lead

1. As an extension lead, only use the version
specifi ed by the manufacturer or one of a
higher quality. See operating instructions.

2. When using an extension lead, check the
minimum cross-sections of the cable:
