DANGER
Danger that leads directly to serious
or irreversible injuries, or even death.
2. Never use the vacuum cleaner without a
fi lter.
3. Switch off the appliance and disconnect the
mains plug in the following situations:

Purpose and intended use
Since 1997, there is a new division of hazardous dusts and their assigned vacuum
machines. These are regulated by IEC 603352-69 (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 fi ltration system has been
fi tted and checked.

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
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
Dust Class M (medium). The dusts
which belong to this class are: dusts
with OEL values
1)
> 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 values
1)
, 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.
Machines to be used in Zone 22 are
marked as Type 22 vacuums.
• These machines may be used for
picking up dust from dust class
L, M or H.

• Zone 22 is defi ned as environments
where fl ammable dusts are present for
short periods only (e.g. less than 10
hours per year).
• Type 22 machines are suitable for use as
dust extractors.
The air fl ow in safety vacuum systems has to
be strictly controlled to achieve a minimum
fl ow rate of V
= 20 m/s in the suction hose.
min
The vacuum cleaner ATTIX 995-0H/M SD XC
Type 22 is suitable for picking up:
• Non fl ammable liquids (fl ashpoint 55 °C or
higher).
• Sawdust and dusts hazardous to health,
including dusts with OEL values, carcinogenic dusts and dusts containing germs
and pathogens.
• 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 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.
Operation
Depending on how hazardous the dust is, the
cleaner must be fi tted with appropriate fi lters:

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.

V
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).

Before picking up dust with occupational
exposure limit values:
1. Check that all the fi lters are present and
properly fi tted.
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. Make sure that both plugs are inserted in
fi ttings.
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.
Storage
1. Store the appliance in a dry place, protected from frost.
Electrical connection
1. It 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:
Cable lengthCross section
< 16 A< 25 A
up to 20 m1.5 mm
20 to 50 m2.5 mm

Maintenance, cleaning and repair
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 fi ltered 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 fi lter element after removal out of the appliance (only
for class H appliances).
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 Nilfi sk-ALTO technician or an instructed person must perform a
technical inspection including fi lters, air tightness and control mechanisms. According to
AA.22.201.2 appliances in class H must have
their fi ltration effi ciency checked once a year.
If the effi ency of the fi lter does not fulfi l the
requirements for dust class H, the fi lter must
be replaced, and the new fi lter must be tested
according to AA.22.201.2.

Picking up liquids
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 overfi lling
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.
