the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1. Use this vacuum cleaner only as described in this manual. Use only Manufacturer’s
recommended attachments.
2. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches or hot
ashes.
3. Never immerse the appliance, the connection cord or plug in water as doing so presents
the risk of electric shock. When working with the appliance, make sure that the
connection cord and, where applicable, an extension lead are not lying in water.
4. Do not pick up sharp objects such as needles or pieces of glass.
5. Do not use the machine without filters properly fitted and installed.
6. WARNING Do NOT use this vacuum cleaner to vacuum lead paint debris. Fine lead
particles may be dispersed into the air. This vacuum cleaner is not intended for use
under EPA Regulation 40 CFR Part 745 for lead paint material clean up.
7. Never vacuum up the following materials: explosive or combustible gases, liquids and
dust particles (reactive dust particles), reactive metal dust particles (such as aluminum,
magnesium, zinc) in combination with highly alkaline or acidic detergents, undiluted and
strong acids and alkalis or organic solvents such as petrol, paint thinners, acetone,
heating oil and similar products.
8. Risk of fire. Do not vacuum up any burning or glowing objects.
9. Do not pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, liquids, reactive dust
particles or use in areas where they may be present.
10. Do not use your vacuum cleaner as a sprayer of flammable liquids such as oil base paints,
lacquers, household cleaners, etc.

asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangering

the Filter Cleaning System. These are very fine particles.
13. To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty tank after each use.
14. NOTE: A static shock may occur if the environment is too dry. This will not affect the use
of the vacuum cleaner. To eliminate shock, add humidity to the air with a console or a
humidifier.
