Safety Notes
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions before use the appli-
ance. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in elec-
tric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save these instructions.
Do not vacuum materials that
are harmful to one’s health, e. g.
dust from beech or oak wood, masonry dust,
asbestos. These materials are considered carci-
nogenic.
Use the vacuum cleaner only
when you fully understand and
can perform all functions without limitation, or
have received appropriate instructions. A thor-
ough introduction reduces operating errors and
injuries.
fChildren or persons with mental or physical
limitations may only use the vacuum clean-
er under supervision or after having been
instructed. A thorough introduction reduces
operating errors and injuries.
The vacuum cleaner is suitable
for vacuuming dry materials
and, by taking suitable measures, also for vac-
uuming liquids. The penetration of liquids in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
fDo not vacuum inflammable or explosive
fluids; for example, benzene, oil, alcohol,
solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning
dust. Do not operate the machine in rooms
where the danger of an explosion exists.
The dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or ex-
plode.
Use the socket only for the pur-
poses specified in of the operat-
ing instructions.
Switch the vacuum cleaner off
immediately as soon as foam or
water comes out, and empty the container.
Otherwise, the vacuum cleaner can become
damaged.
The vacuum cleaner may only
be used and stored indoors.
The penetration of rain or moisture increases
the risk of an electric shock.
Clean the float at regular inter-
vals, and check it for damage.
Otherwise, its function can be impaired.
fKeep the vacuum cleaner away from rain or
moisture. The penetration of water into the
vacuum cleaner lid increases the risk of an
electric shock.
fWhen operating the vacuum cleaner in
damp environments, use a residual current
device (RCD). Using a residual current device
(RCD) reduces the risk of an electric shock.
fConnect the vacuum cleaner to a properly
earthed mains supply. The socket outlet and
the extension cable must have an operative
protective conductor.
fDo not use the vacuum cleaner when the
mains cable, plug or switch is damaged. Do
not touch the damaged cable, plug or
switch, and pull the mains plug when the ca-
ble is damaged while working. Damaged ca-
bles, plugs or switches increase the risk of an
electric shock.
fDo not drive over, crush or stretch the ca-
ble. Do not pull the cable to unplug the plug
from the socket outlet or to move the vacu-
um cleaner. Damaged cablesincrease the
risk of an electric shock.
fDuring work breaks, when not in use or
when working on the machine (e. g. chang-
ing tool inserts, repairs, cleaning, adjust-
ments), pull the mains plug. This safety
measure prevents accidental starting of the
vacuum cleaner.
fProvide for good ventilation at the working
place.
fDo not allow children to use the vacuum
cleaner without supervision. Children can
injure themselves.
fHave the vacuum cleaner repaired only
through qualified specialists and only using
original spare parts. This ensures that the
safety of your vacuum cleaner is maintained.
fBefore restarting, check the proper condi-
tion of the vacuum hose. When doing this,
leave the vacuum hose mounted to the vac-
uum cleaner to avoid dust from coming out.
Otherwise, you could possible inhale dust.
fDo not use the vacuum cleaner as a seat.
The vacuum cleaner could become damaged.
