Vacuum Cleaner Parts and Labels
Figure 1

Code of the Model, Technical Specications (see table
on page 7), Serial No., EC Mark, Year of manufacture,
Nominal network voltage.
2. Longopac System
3. Inlet
4. Outlet
5. Attention plate
Draws the operator’s attention to the fact that the lter
must only be shaken when the vacuum cleaner is turned
o (see also par. “Primary lter shaker”).
6. Plug for connecting the vacuum cleaner to an electrical
socket.
7. Silica Dust Warning
Draws the operator’s attention to the fact that exposure
of a crystalline silicon ust can cause cancer or silicosis.
This vacuum cleaner creates a strong air ow which is drawn
in through the inlet (4- Fig. 1) and blown out through the
outlet (5- Fig. 1).
Before turning on the vacuum cleaner, t the vacuum hose
into the inlet and then t the required tool on to the end part
(refer to the manufacturer’s accessory catalogue or Service
Centre).
The diameters of the authorised hoses are given in the
technical specications table.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a primary lter which
enables it to be used for the majority of applications.
Besides the primary lter, which retains the most common
types of dust, the vacuum cleaner can be tted with a
secondary lter (absolute H class) with a higher ltering
capacity for ne dusts and dusts that are hazardous to
health.

Unpacking, moving, use and storage
Operate on at, horizontal surfaces.
The load-bearing capacity of the surface the vacuum cleaner
is placed on must be suitable for bearing its weight).
Setting to work - connection to the
power supply
WARNING!
■Make sure there is no evident sign of damage
to the vacuum cleaner before starting work.
■Before plugging the vacuum cleaner into the
electrical mains, make sure the voltage rating
indicated on the data plate corresponds to that
of the electrical mains.
■Plug the vacuum cleaner into a socket with a
correctly installed ground contact/connection.
■Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is turned
o.
■The plugs and connectors of the connection
cables must be protected against splashes of
water.
■Make sure that connections to the electrical
mains and plug are correct.
■Use the vacuum cleaners only when the cables
that connect to the electrical mains are in
perfect condition (damaged cables could lead
to electric shocks!).
■Regularly check there are no signs of damage,
excessive wear, cracks or ageing on the
electric cable.
WARNING!
When the vacuum cleaner is operating, do not:
■Crush, pull, damage or tread on the cable that
connects to the electrical mains.
■Only disconnect the cable from the electrical
mains by removing the plug (do not pull the
cable).
■Only replace the electric power cable with one
of the same type as the original: H07 RN - F.
The same rule applies if an extension is used.
■The cable must be replaced by the
manufacturer’s Service Centre sta or by
equivalent qualied personnel.
Extensions
If an extension cable is used, make sure it is suitable for the
power input and protection degree of the vacuum cleaner.
Minimum section of extension cables: 2.5 mm2
Maximum length = 20 m
Cable = H07 RN - F
WARNING!
Sockets, plugs, connectors and installation of the
extension cable must maintain the IP protection
degree of the vacuum cleaner, as indicated on the
data plate.
WARNING!
Never spray water on the vacuum cleaner: this
could be dangerous for persons exposed and could
short circuit the power supply.
WARNING!
The vacuum cleaner’s power socket must be
protected by a dierential circuit-breaker with
surge current limitation, that shuts o the power
supply when the current discharged to the ground
exceeds 30 mA for 30 msec. or an equivalent
protection circuit.

Primary lter shaker
Depending on the quantity of dust cleaned up, shake the
main lter by means of the knob “3” (Fig. 4).
WARNING!
Stop the vacuum cleaner before using the lter
shaker.
Do not shake the lter while the vacuum cleaner is
on, as this could damage the lter.
Wait before restarting the vacuum cleaner, to allow the dust
to settle.
Emergency stopping
Turn the switch “1” (Fig. 4) to “0” position.
Emptying the dust container
WARNING!
■Before proceeding with these operations, turn
the vacuum cleaner o and disconnect the plug
from the power socket.
■Check the class of the vacuum cleaner.
Before emptying the container it is advisable to clean the
lter (see “Primary lter shaker”).
■Standard version is not suitable for vacuuming
hazardous dust
▪Release the dust container (2, Fig. 1) using lever
(3, Fig. 1), then remove and empty it.
▪Make sure the seal is in perfect condition and
correctly positioned.
▪Place the container back in position and secure it
again.
Liquids vacuuming
WARNING!
Check that the vacuum cleaner is equipped with
liquids mechanical stop.
■The lter element will be wet after liquids have been
vacuumed.
A wet lter element can quickly become clogged if the
vacuum cleaner is then used to vacuum dry substances.
For this reason, make sure that the lter element is dry
or replace it with another one before using the vacuum
cleaner for dry materials.
