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
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
Purpose and intended use
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 regulated by 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 authorized personnel wearing
suitable personal protection. Operate only after the full filtration system has been fitted and checked.

OEL = Occupational Exposure Limit
Original Instructions
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.
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.
The air flow in Safety Vacuum systems has to be strictly controlled to
achieve a minimum flow rate of Vmin = 20 m/s in the suction hose.
ATTIX 9 H/M
Transport
The vacuum cleaners ATTIX 965-0H/M SD XC and ATTIX 965-2H/
M SD XC are suitable to pick up
• dry, nonflammable dust, non flammable liquids, sawdust and haz-
ardous dusts with OEL values1), carcinogenic dusts, dusts containing germs
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 vacuum cleaner is 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 from 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. Make sure that both plugs are inserted in fittings.
3. Do not tilt the cleaner if there is liquid in the dirt tank.
4. Do not use a crane hook to lift the cleaner.

Electrical connection
Extension lead
Maintenance, cleaning and
repair
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.
As an extension lead, only use the version specified by the manufacturer or one of a higher quality.
When using an extension lead, check the minimum cross-sections
of the cable:

During the following work, ensure that dust is not unnecessarily
spread around. Wear a P2 breathing mask.
Only carry out maintenance work described in the operating instructions.
Always pull 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 are 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.
Warning: Do not reuse the essential filter element after removal out
of the appliance (only for class H appliances).

OEL = Occupational Exposure Limit
Original Instructions
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.

Risks
Electrical components
DANGER
Electric shock due to faulty mains connecting lead.
Touching a faulty mains connecting lead can result in
serious or even fatal injuries.
1. Do not damage the mains power lead (e.g. by driving
over it, pulling or crushing it).
2. Regularly check whether the power cord is damaged or
shows signs of ageing.
3. Have the faulty mains connecting lead replaced by your
Nilfisk-Alto service representative or a qualified electrician prior to using the appliance again.
DANGER
The upper section of the vacuum cleaner contains live
components.
Contact with live components leads to serious or even fatal
injuries.
1. Never spray water on to the upper section of the vacuum cleaner.
CAUTION
Damage due to unsuitable mains voltage.
The appliance can be damaged as a result of being
connected to an unsuitable mains voltage.
1. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.

CAUTION
Appliance socket
1)
The appliance socket is only designed for the purposes
defined in the operating instructions. The connection of
different appliances can result in damage.
1. Prior to plugging in an appliance, always switch off the
vacuum cleaner and the appliance that is to be connected.
2. Read the operating instructions to the appliance to be
connected and observe the safety notes contained in
these.
CAUTION
Picking up liquids.
Due to their construction vacuum cleaners with a removable
tank (SD) do not have an automatic level indicator. There is
a risk of damage to the vacuum cleaner due to overfilling or
of damage due to leakage of the picked up liquid.
1. Never pick up more than 40 litres at once.
2. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and empty the dirt tank.
