Preliminary checks
- Check that the dust collection bag (32) has been fitted in the container (23) and that the
filters (23) have been fitted on the head;
- check that the vacuum hose is properly fixed and does not hinder tool movement;

MACHINE USE
The machine can operates in manual or automatic mode: to select the mode, turn the
switch (11) to the right (automatic mode) or to the left (manual mode) (pic. 3). The green
indicator (12a) turns on when the vacuum motor starts.
Using the machine in automatic mode (A)
Automatic operations means that the vacuum starts when an electrical or pneumatic tool
is turned on.
The vacuum will automatically turn off eight seconds after the tool is turned off.
Using the machine in manual mode (M)
Manual operations means that the vacuum runs continuously.
Power on the front panel outlet socket is permanently active during manual running.
Adjusting the vacuum level
The vacuum level can be adjusted in both operating modes by turning the knob (11)
towards the "min" position until the desired power is reached.
MAINTENANCE
A yearly technical check on parts and filtering system by an authorized service
centre is required.
Service indicator (12b)
The indicator turns on for scheduled service to keep the machine working conditions.
When warning light is on contact an authorized service centre to check and service the ap-
pliance and reset the warning light.
The prolongated use of the vacuum cleaner with the warning light on can cause more
maintenance operation.
Ordinary check operations
For user servicing, the appliance must be dismantled, cleaned and serviced, as far
as it is reasonably practicable, without causing risk to the maintenance staff and
others. Suitable precautions include, decontamination before dismantling, provi-
sion for local filtered exhaus ventilation where the appliance is dismantled (accor-

placement to an authorized service centre;
- check filter cartridge condition (22). In case of lacerations or perforations contact an auth-
jorized service centre for replacement;
- periodically clean the filter (22) using the cleaning system switch (3) (fig. 9).
Do not use the appliance without the full filter set fitted!
