WARNING
• The upper section of the machine contains live components. Con-
tact with live components leads to serious or even fatal injuries.
Never spray water on to the upper section of the machine.
• The vacuum cleaner must not be used if the electrical cable or plug
show any sign of damage. Regularly inspect the cable and the plug
for damage. If this becomes damaged, it should be repaired only
by Nilfisk or an authorised Nilfisk Service Dealer, in order to avoid a
hazard.
• Do not handle the electrical cable or plug with wet hands.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cable. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cable. The plug must always be removed from the socket outlet
before starting any service or repair work of the machine or the ca-
ble.
• In no circumstances should the power supply cord be wrapped
around fingers or any part of the operators person.
• It is recommended that the machine should be connected via a residual current circuit breaker.
• Arrange the electrical parts (sockets, plugs and couplings) and lay down the extension lead so
that the protection class is maintained.
• Connectors and couplings of power supply cords and extension leads must be watertight.
Extension lead
• As an extension lead, only use the version specified by the manufacturer or one of a higher quality.
• When using an extension lead, check the minimum cross-sections of the cable:
