Warning:
The appliance may contain dust that
is hazardous to health.
The appliance must not be emptied, nor must
maintenance work, including filter changes, be
carried out, by anyone other than authorized
specialist personnel with appropriate protective
equipment.
Do not operate the appliance without a fully
installed filter system.
- If used to extract dusts with LTL values or large
quantities of beech or oak sawdust, only one dust
source (electric or air tool) may be connected.
Two tools may not be connected at any one time.
- The appliance may be operated only in an
adequately ventilated space (in compliance with
national industrial safety provisions).
- Do not suck in any sparks or hot chippings.
- With the exception of wood dust, do not suck in
any flammable or explosive dusts such as
magnesium, aluminium etc.
- Risk of explosion!
- Do not use to extract flammable or explosive
liquids (e.g. petrol, thinners).
- Risk of explosion!
- Do not use to extract aggressive liquids (e.g.
acids, alkalis, solvents)
- Remove plug from mains socket when not in use
and before maintenance work.
- Do not pull plug out of mains socket by its cable.
- Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp
edges.
- Do not leave devices out in the rain.
- Check the plugs and cables regularly and have
them replaced by an expert if damaged.
- Do not lift or carry the devices by their handles
using a crane hook or lifting gear.
- The device may only be used by persons who
have been trained in its use and who are
authorised to do so.
- If noxious dusts have been extracted, the vacuum
cleaner and all accessories must be completely
cleaned (inside and outside) by suction and
wiping, before removal from the contaminated
area.
Parts that cannot be completely cleaned are to
be packed for transport in a plastic bag with an
airtight seal.
The suction opening (1.8) must be sealed with
the blanking plug (1.7) for transport purposes.
- For safety reasons, only operate the machine
using a totally earthed socket.

Appliance preparation and initial
operation
Stick the enclosed sticker in your national language
on the text area of the warning plate. Fix the blanking
plug (1.7) in accordance with Fig. 4.
3.1 Electrical connection
Caution!
The operating voltage shown on the rating
plate must correspond to the voltage of the mains
power supply. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner
is switched off when you plug the power cable in.
3.2 On/off switch (1.3)
In position 0 the vacuum cleaner is switched off and
the appliance plug socket (1.9) is dead.
Before switching on, the rotary knob (1.2) must be
adjusted to the diameter of the connected suction
hose. Two modes of operation are possible:
a)
Switch position MAN (1.3):
The cleaner motor starts immediately. The
appliance plug socket is dead.
b) Switch position Auto (1.3):
The appliance plug socket is live. The cleaner motor
starts only when the tool connected to the appliance
plug socket is switched on.
Caution!
Before turning the switch to the Auto
position, ensure that the tool connected to the
appliance plug socket is switched off.
3.3 Suction force regulator (1.4)
The suction force regulator can be used to vary the
suction capacity. This permits a precise adaptation
to different substances to be picked up.
3.4 Connecting an electric tool
Warning! Observe the maximum connected load
on the appliance plug socket (see Technical Data)!
Connect the electric tool to the appliance plug
socket (1.9).
Make sure that the electric tool is switched off when
plugging it in and unplugging it.
