VACUUM CLEANER – CLASS H
SAFETY INDICATIONS
Operator safety
This manual is to be considered as an integral part of the general user manual and provides the necessary
instructions for the special class H dust vacuum cleaners.
Therefore, the supplied general instruction booklet must be read before operation.
In addition to the user instructions and the current regulations in the country of use, the sector’s recognised
technical regulations for the safe and appropriate use of this equipment must also be followed. The UNI
10720 standard (Guidelines for selection and use of respiratory protective devices) establishes the guidelines
for the criteria of selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective devices. For best practice follow
BS8520-3:2009 Operation, Cleaning and Maintenance of class H vacuum cleaners. – Code of practice
Transport and handling
Be sure to close all the dirt container’s locking hooks before transport. Do not turn the device upside down.
Ensure that the vacuum cleaner and accessories are transported in the appropriate manner relating to the
type of material being handled.
Ensure that all hazardous dusts are contained and not transmitted to beyond the controlled area.
Possible uses for the vacuum cleaner
The vacuum appliances to which these user instructions refer are suitable for professional use and, in
particular, for the control of dusts with an exposure limit value as per the class rating of the vacuum cleaner.
This is stated on the side of the tank. H CLASS
The collection of the following materials is forbidden:
- Incandescent materials.
- Hazardous liquids.
- Flammable and explosive dusts (for example, magnesium dusts, aluminium dusts, etc.).
The use of this device for the elimination of dusts must be performed in rooms or environments which
are sufficiently ventilated whenever the device’s exhaust returns into the environment itself. The user
must respect the current national regulations in the country in which the device is being employed.
The equipment’s end user must be read and understood for its use before beginning any work
activities, taking note of the safe usage regulations. The user must also receive instruction regarding
the dangers deriving from the aspirated materials and the methods for their safe disposal.
Maintenance, cleaning and repair
Care and attention must be exercised at all times during use. Routine and preventative maintenance is
carried out periodically to ensure safe operation.

Failure to carry out maintenance as necessary, include the replacement of parts to the correct standard
could render the equipment unsafe and the manufacturer can accept no responsibility in this respect.
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations on the device, make sure
disconnected from the mains power supply by removing the plug from the socket.
Treat the device in a responsible manner so as to avoid creating situations which could be dangerous to
both yourself, as well as to others.
A filtered, forced air ventilation system must be employed during maintenance activities. The user must
wear any appropriate safety PPE during such operations, especially respiratory protection.
The environment in which maintenance activities are to be performed must be controlled in order to
prevent the dispersion of hazardous substances into the surroundings.
When transporting the device away from or within an area that is contaminated with hazardous
substances, the external portion of the device must be vacuumed and wiped down with a cloth before
sealing it in an air-tight container.
Any parts which cannot be cleaned must be packaged in air-tight bags and/or disposed of in
compliance with the current regulations for the disposal of hazardous substances in the country of use.
The manufacturer requires that the vacuum be subjected to an annual technical inspection.
This inspection may be performed by an authorised distributor’s technician and must include the
examination of the filters, the air-tight seals, as well as the signalling components/indicators.

DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION Detailed use of the machine
ATTENTION The vacuum cleaner is suitable for extracting dry non-flammable dusts,
BEFORE FIRST USE
Vacuum assembly and testing
Before using the device, check that:
No foreign elements are present within the container.
Ensure that the head if fastened down with the head clips to form an air-tight seal.
The relevant filters and bag have been installed. The bag is fitted with with a membrane seal which must
be fitted over the internal slot of the tank intake. It also has a complete orifice seal tag which must be
applied once the used bag is removed from the tank intake for safe disposal. This is important to ensure
that the contained dust does not escape. The hose is correctly connected to the tank. the machine is
connected to the correct electrical supply.
Initial working phase check
Before beginning to vacuum dusts check that the full filtration system is in place and within the device and
that they are positioned correctly.
Once the vacuum has been activated, block the filtration tube and check whether an acoustic signal
sounds. The acoustic signal is activated before the speed of the air within the tube falls below 20m/sec.
This must be calibrated.
In normal usage conditions, the acoustic signal turns on to signal a reduction in pressure / air flow.
Once this sounds the filter must be cleaned and the bag must be replaced.
USE OF THE DEVICE
ATTENTION flammable or explosive dusts/substances
The sector’s reference standard, EN 60335-2-69/A1:2004, lists the dusts which present a risk of
explosion when brought into contact with ignition sources. A filter bag must always be fitted. Never
reuse a filter bag.
