Safety information for vacuum
cleaners
Read all the safety information and instruc-
tions. Failure to observe the safety informa-
tion and follow instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
uThis vacuum cleaner is not inten-
ded for use by children or persons
with physical, sensory or mental
impairments. It should not be used
by persons who have insufficient
experience and knowledge. Other-
wise, there is a risk of operating er-
rors and injuries.
uSupervise children. This will ensure
that children do not play with the va-
cuum cleaner.
uDo not vacuum beech or oak wood dust, rock dust or
asbestos. These substances are considered carcino-
genic.
WARNING Only use the vacuum cleaner if you
have been adequately informed
about the use of the equipment, the substances to be va-
cuumed and how to dispose of these safely. Thorough in-
struction on how to use the equipment prevents accidental
misuse and injuries.
WARNING The vacuum cleaner is suitable for
vacuuming dry substances, and
can also be used to vacuum liquids when taking appropri-
ate measures. The penetration of liquids increases the risk
of an electric shock.
uDo not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible
or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or
solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not
operate the vacuum cleaner in areas subject to explo-
sion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can ignite or ex-
plode.
WARNING If you notice a foam or water leak,
switch off the vacuum cleaner im-
mediately and empty the container. Otherwise, the va-
cuum cleaner can become damaged.
uNOTE: The vacuum cleaner must only be stored in-
doors.
uNOTE: Clean the float regularly and check whether it
is damaged. Otherwise, the equipment may not function
properly.
uEnsure that the workplace is well ventilated.
uThe vacuum cleaner should be repaired exclusively by
a qualified professional using only genuine spare
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the vacuum
cleaner is maintained.
WARNING The vacuum cleaner contains dust
particles that pose a risk to health.
Emptying and maintenance procedures, including the
disposal of dust collectors, should only be carried out by
professionals. Suitable protective equipment is re-
quired. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the
complete filter system. Otherwise, you are putting your
health at risk.
uBefore using the equipment for the first time, check
that the vacuum hose is in perfect condition. Leave
the vacuum hose fitted to the vacuum cleaner while
doing this so that no dust escapes accidentally. Other-
wise, you may end up inhaling dust particles.
uDo not clean the vacuum cleaner by spraying a jet of
water directly at it. Water entering the top of the va-
cuum cleaner will increase the risk of electric shock.
uIn case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
uIf used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flam-
mable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact
with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accident-
ally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes
into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical
attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause ir-
ritation or burns.
uThe battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
uWhen the battery is not in use, keep it away from pa-
per clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could make a connection from one
terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery
terminals may cause burns or a fire.
uDo not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
ing.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
uOnly use the battery with products from the manufac-
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
uDo not work with the dust extractor if you are carrying
it by the strap.
