Spare parts Use only original spare parts and accessories from the manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
The use of wrong or faulty spare parts from other manufacturers may result in dam-
age to the appliance.
Despite this, should other than the original spare parts from the manufacturer be
used or parts obtained from elsewhere, all obligations entered into by the manufac-
turer or his representative, such as warranties, maintenance contracts, etc., will
immediately become null and void.
Operating personnel The appliance may only be operated and maintained by approved, properly trained
and instructed personnel. The personnel must have been specially instructed about
the dangers which could arise.
"Instructed persons" are those who have been informed about the tasks they have to
perform and about possible hazards if the equipment is used incorrectly and, where
relevant, have been taught about the necessary protection measures and the precau-
tions to be taken.
"Qualified persons" are those who, through their training, knowledge and experience
as well as their knowledge of the regulations which apply, are able to do the tasks
conferred on them and to recognize the potential dangers.
If the persons concerned do not have the necessary knowledge, then they must be
trained accordingly.
The responsibilities for operating and servicing the equipment must be clearly defined
and adhered to so that misunderstandings which could affect safety are avoided.
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by people who can be expected
to perform their work reliably. Their approach to work must in no way endanger peo-
ple, the environment or the equipment.
People under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication which may affect their
reactions are not allowed to work on or with the appliance in any way.
When choosing personnel, the youth employment laws of the country concerned
must be taken into account with regard to minimum age requirements and any occu-
pation-specific rules relating to this.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that no unauthorized person works on
or with the appliance. Unauthorized persons, such as visitors, etc., may not handle
the appliance. For security reasons they must be kept at an appropriate distance.
It is the duty of the operator to report immediately any changes in the way the appli-
ance works, which could affect safety, to the person responsible.
When cleaning floors, the working position of the operator is behind the appliance's
handle. The appliance may only be operated by one person at a time.
