Read all the safety information and instruc-
tions.
Failure to observe the safety informa-
tion and follow instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
u
This vacuum cleaner is not inten-
ded for use by children or persons
with physical, sensory or mental
impairments. It should not be used
by persons who have insufficient
experience and knowledge.
Other-
wise, there is a risk of operating er-
rors and injuries.
u
Supervise children.
This will ensure
that children do not play with the va-
cuum cleaner.
WARNING
Do not vacuum any harmful sub-
stances, e.g. beech or oak wood
dust, rock dust or asbestos.
These substances are con-
sidered carcinogenic. Make sure you inform yourself about
the applicable regulations/laws on how to handle harmful
types of dust in your country.
u
Only use the vacuum cleaner if you have been ad-
equately informed about how to use it.
Thorough in-
struction on how to use the equipment prevents acci-
dental misuse and injuries.
WARNING
The vacuum cleaner is suitable for
vacuuming dry substances, and
can also be used to vacuum liquids when taking appropri-
ate measures.
The penetration of liquids increases the risk
of an electric shock.
u
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible
or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or
solvents. Do not vacuum hot, burning or explosive
dust. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner in areas sub-
ject to explosion hazards.
Dust, vapours and liquids can
ignite or explode.
WARNING
Only use the socket for the pur-
pose stipulated in the operating
manual.
WARNING
If you notice a foam or water leak,
switch off the vacuum cleaner im-
mediately and empty the container.
Otherwise, the va-
cuum cleaner can become damaged.
u
NOTE: The vacuum cleaner must only be stored in-
doors.
u
NOTE: Clean the float regularly and check whether it
is damaged.
Otherwise, the equipment may not function
properly.
u
If operating the vacuum cleaner in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD).
Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
u
Always check the vacuum cleaner, cable and plug be-
fore use. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if you dis-
cover any damage. Do not open the vacuum cleaner
yourself. It should be repaired exclusively by a quali-
fied professional using only genuine spare parts.
Dam-
aged vacuum cleaners, cables and plugs increase the risk
of electric shock.
u
Do not crush the cable or run the device over it. Do not
pull on the power cable to pull the plug out of the
socket or to move the vacuum cleaner.
Damaged
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or per-
forming maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making
tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting
away the vacuum cleaner.
This safety measure prevents
the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.
u
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
u
The vacuum cleaner should be repaired exclusively by
a qualified professional using only genuine spare
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the vacuum
cleaner is maintained.
u
Before using the equipment for the first time, check
that the vacuum hose is in perfect condition. Leave
the vacuum hose fitted to the vacuum cleaner while
doing this so that no dust escapes accidentally.
Other-
wise, you may end up inhaling dust particles.
u
Do not sit on the vacuum cleaner.
You can damage the
vacuum cleaner this way.
u
Take care when using the power cable and the vacuum
hose.
Improper use of these can put other people at risk.
u
Do not clean the vacuum cleaner by spraying a jet of
water directly at it.
Water entering the top of the va-
cuum cleaner will increase the risk of electric shock.
u
Connect the dust extractor to a properly earthed
power supply system.
The plug socket and extension
cable must have a fully functioning protective conductor.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
