Purpose and intended use
Since 1997, there is a new division of hazardous dusts and their as-
signed 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 authorised personnel wearing
suitable personal protection. Operate only after the full filtration sys-
tem 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 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 dis-
posal 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 vacu-
ums.
• These machines may be used for picking up dust from
dust class L, M or H.
• Zone 22 is defined as environments where flammable 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 flow in safety vacuum systems has to be strictly controlled
to achieve a minimum flow rate of V
min
= 20 m/s in the suction hose.
The vacuum cleaner ATTIX 995-0H/M SD XC Type 22 is suitable for
picking up:
• Non flammable liquids (flashpoint 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 flammable 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 filters, as well as the
filter 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, Offices, Hire shops
Any other use is considered as improper use. The manufacturer ac-
cepts 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. As an extension lead, only use the version specified by the man-
ufacturer or one of a higher quality.

Transport
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.
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 flammable 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 main-
tained.
4. Connectors and couplings of power supply cords and extension
leads must be watertight.

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).
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 per-
son must perform a technical inspection including filters, air tight-
ness 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 ac-
cording to AA.22.201.2.
