Safety warnings
Attention!
The following indications are, by themselves, not enough to fully protect against all the hazards that
could arise during dust collector operation. These will have to be integrated with common sense and the
experience of the operator, both of which are crucial factors for preventing accidents. Each section of this
manual lists further specific safety warnings for the various operations.
Maintenance jobs must always be performed with the power plug detached from the power source.
The employer must inform and train the user according to the provisions of applicable laws.
Before using the machine, prepare and train yourself by reading this manual carefully. Use of the machine

required for the specific type of dusts. Such filters must be explicitly requested by you.

the filters cleaned using adequate individual protection devices, selected according to the type of

Do not collect flammable materials or substances which could cause explosions (fuels, solvents, etc.). To
collect such materials, the machine must be built with Anti-explosion Motor and Electric System and this
must be requested by you explicitly.

purpose.
Use of the machine without the supplied filters is not recommended.
