It is important to make sure the power supply cable or extension cable is not damaged by the wheels of moving vehicles, by crushing, tearing, etc.
Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check the power cable regularly for damage, such as the formation of cracks or signs of ageing. If you
notice any damage, the cable must be replaced before using the machine. If you notice any damage to the power cable, contact an authorised technical
assistance centre immediately.
•
In the event of danger, quickly remove the plug from the electricity socket.

disconnect the plug from the mains; do not immerse the machine in water; do not use solvents. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any harm to
people or animals, or damage to property, resulting from any type of use considered improper and unreasonable or anyway not complying with the
above indications. When disposing of the machine, respect the regulations in force in the country of use. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with the power
supply cable wound up on the cover.
•
Before connecting the machine to the power supply, make sure the electric data shown on the label correspond to those of the mains supply. The
machine must only be powered with a voltage of the level shown on the serial number plate.
•
Make sure the working machine does not come too close to delicate organs like the ears, mouth, eyes, etc.

and aluminium/magnesium powders. These substances may also corrode the materials that the device is made from.
•
If the device is used in dangerous areas (e.g. petrol stations), the relative safety standards must be respected. It is forbidden to use the device in
