Technical Description
The AVac12 is a vacuum cleaner which uses the vacuum created inside the collection tank by the fan (enabled by
the electric motor) to pick up dust and dry solid elements at ambient temperature, using the accessories in contact
with the floor and the furnishings. The vacuum hose conveys inside the collection tank the air with dust and solid
residues that are retained and collected using the collection bag and the filter. The appliance must only be used for
this purpose.
Intended Use
The dust/liquid vacuum appliance has been designed exclusively for the professional cleaning of surfaces and
floors in industrial, commercial and public environments. The appliance is only suitable for use in closed - or at least
covered - environments.
The appliance is not suitable for use in the rain, or under jets of water. IT IS FORBIDDEN to use the
appliance for picking up dangerous dusts or inflammable liquids in places with an explosive atmosphere.
In addition, it is not suitable as a means of transport for people or objects. This appliance should only use
for the purpose for which it was constructed, namely: cleaning inert surfaces, the aspiration of solid non-
flammable and non explosive substances. Any other use is considered improper and dangerous. When the
appliance is operating do not bring it close to delicate organs like ears, mouth, eyes, etc.
Safety
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme can be effective
without the full co-operation of the operator who is directly responsible for machine operation. The majority of
occupational accidents that happen both in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by failure to respect the most
basic safety rules. An attentive, careful operator is most effective guarantee against accidents and is fundamental in
order to implement any prevention programme.
Serial Number Plate
The serial number plate is located at the rear of the vacuum cleaner head,
and indicates the general characteristics of the appliance, in particular the
appliance’s serial number. The serial number is a very important piece of
information and should always be provided together with any request for
assistance or to purchase spare parts.
