	to use it.

Despite its simple handling the vacuum cleaner is not suitable for children.

The use of the vacuum cleaner is subject to valid national regu-

lations. Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country of use, observe recognized regulations for safety and proper use.

Do not use any unsafe work techniques.

Purpose and intended use	The vacuum cleaners described
	in this operating manual are
	suitable for
	–	commercial use, e.g. in ho-
		tels, schools, hospitals, fac-
		tories, shops,	offices	and
		rental businesses.
	–	for separation	of any	kind
		of dust with exposure limits,
		including carcinogenic		dust
		and hazardous	dust	(dust
		class H).

The vacuum cleaners ATTIX 350-0H, 360-0H, 550-0H and 751-0H are also approved for asbestos abatement.

Use the closable plastic sack to ensure dust-free transport of the vacuum cleaner and contaminated parts (hose, handpipe, 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 re-

port must be made by a specialist and signed by him.

Permanent filters should be replaced by a specialist only in suitable rooms (e.g. contamination stations).

The following materials should 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 aluminium dust, etc.)

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).

Before starting work, the operating staff must be informed on

-use of the vacuum cleaner

-risks associated with the material to be picked up

-safe disposal of the picked up material.

In accordance with TRGS 519 the vacuum cleaner may only be used for asbestos abatement and repair work on components and fittings and machines and appliances in closed rooms if the extent of the following work is only small and the exposure level is low:

-auxiliary work according to TRGS 519, No. 2.4

-clearing material out of rooms contaminated with asbestos

-setting up construction sites if it cannot be excluded that asbestos fibres will be released

-cleaning of rooms and objects contaminated with asbestos.

Before start-up

Inspect power cord regularly to detect signs of damage, e.g. cracks or ageing.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Nilfisk- Alto-Service or an electrician to avoid danger before use of the vacuum cleaner is continued.

Use only the type of power cord specified in the operating manual.

Do not damage the power cord (e.g. by moving over it or pulling or crushing it).

Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug only (do not pull or tug the power cord).

Inspect the vacuum cleaners to ensure that they are in proper condition. Plugs and couplings in power cords must at least have splash protection.

Never use the vacuum cleaner if the filter element is damaged.

Picking up liquids

If foam develops or liquid emerges, stop work immediately and empty the dirt tank.

Regularly clean the built in float (ATTIX 350-0H/360- 0 H / 3 6 0 - 2 H / 5 5 0 - 0 H / 5 5 0 - 2H/751-0H) and level indicator hose (ATTIX 560-2HXC) to limit the water level and check that they are not damaged.

See section 5 for information on handling liquids and (hazardous) dust.

Electrical components

Check the rated voltage of the vacuum cleaner before connecting it to the mains supply system. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.

If you are using an extension cord, use only those specified by the manufacturer or higher quality ones (see section 9.4 „Technical data“).

It is recommended that the vacuum cleaner should be connected via a residual current circuit breaker. This stops the supply of electricity if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or it has an earth tester circuit.

When using an extension lead, check the minimum cross-sec- tions of the cable:

	Cable length	Cross section
	m
		<16 A	<25 A
	up to 20 m	ø1.5mm²	ø2.5mm²
	20 to 50 m	ø2.5mm²	ø4.0mm²

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

Never spray water on to the upper section of the vacuum cleaner. Danger for persons, risk or short-circuiting.

Observe the latest edition of the IEC regulations.
