Risks when handling the
vacuum cleaner
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the ap-
pliance may result in injury.
■
Hold onto the mains cord
when winding it up. By
forcefully retracting the
mains cord this can cause
a “whipping effect” (on
account of the mains cord
swinging uncontrollably).
■
Lay the mains cord in such
a way that no one trips
over it.
Fire hazard!
Vacuuming glowing ash,
burning cigarettes, etc. will
set the fi lter on fi re.
■
Do not vacuum glowing
ash, burning cigarettes or
matches.
Health hazard!
Improper handling of the ap-
pliance may result in health
hazards.
■
Do not use the appliance if
the hygiene or coarse dust
fi lter is missing or dam-
aged. Otherwise, vacu-
umed dust can penetrate
the appliance and escape
into the ambient air.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the ap-
pliance can lead to property
damage.
■
Do not use sharp objects to
unpack the appliance.
■
Never sit or stand on the
appliance.
■
Use the appliance only if
the coarse dust fi lter is in
place. The coarse dust fi lter
must not be damaged.
■
Only the original supplied
accessories and the speci-
fi ed coarse dust fi lter and
hygiene fi lter may be used.
■
Never vacuum clay, plas-
ter, cement, masonry dust
or drilling dust. Vacuuming
these materials blocks the
fi lter.
■
Never vacuum water and
other liquids.
■
Never vacuum sharp ob-
jects e.g. glass fragments.
■
On freshly shampooed car-
pets, always wait until the
detergent is completely dry
before vacuuming.
