WARNING: 

• 

Always use a P2-respirator during performing 
maintenance. 

• 

Never reuse the air filter after removal of the machine. 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection 
or maintenance. 

• 

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the 
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. 

• 

Please check with your local authorities for any 
regulations regarding the use of these vacuum cleaners 
when working with toxic materials such as Asbestos. 

• 

Before any repair or maintenance always check what 
materials the vacuum cleaner has been working with. 
If in doubt, always have professionally cleaned by 
licensed asbestos / toxic cleaning company before 
conducting any repair or maintenance. 

• 

A technical inspection, including inspection of 
filters, air tightness, and control mechanism, must 
be performed  by an instructed person at least 
once a year, or more frequently as may be 
specified by national requirements. 

• 

During maintenance, all contaminated items which 
cannot be satisfactorily cleaned must be disposed. 
Such items must be disposed of in impervious 
hags which accord with your country's regulations. 

• 

After the operation in the hazardous area, the 
outside of the tool must be decontaminated by 
vacuum cleaning methods and wiped clean or 
treated with sealant before you take the tool out of 
a hazardous area. All the parts of the tool must be 
regarded as contaminated when removed from the 
hazardous area, and appropriate action must be 
taken to prevent dust dispersal. 

• 

Change the air filter when the air filter is clogged 
with dust or you feel that the cleaner's 
performance declined. 

• 

Check the filters periodically. If there is a tear on it, 
replace it immediately.
