1.5 Intended uses
This particular model has been designed, constructed and equipped with safety devices for
solid dust and debris vacuuming applications only. The machine is provided with appropriate
specific anti-static filters to operate in explosive atmosphere areas( Z22 CLASSIFIED AREA,
according ATEX 2014/34/EU Directive).
Warning!
Always use specific filters for the type of dust or materials to be vacuumed.
Any other use is considered IMPROPER.
The vacuum cleaner is in any case intended for professional industrial use.
1.6 Allowed environmental conditions
To ensure the correct operation of the vacuum cleaner, this must be positioned protected
against atmospheric agents (rain, hail, snow, fog, dusts in suspension, etc.) with an
environmental running temperature between 5°C and 45°C and relative humidity not above
70%.
The work environment must be clean, well-enough lit and devoid of explosive atmosphere.

1.7 Noise level
Noise level readings were taken in accordance with the provisions of Machine Directive
2006/42/CE standards.
Sound tests performed on this specific vacuum cleaner model have been taken from a
distance of 1 meter and from a height of 1,60 meters, showing an acoustic pressure no
higher than:
80 dB (A)
The vibrations transmitted by the machine are lower than 2,5 m2/s.
Attention!
Pursuant to articles L.D. 81/08, workers exposed to sound pressure levels above 85 dB (A)
must be protected by special individual protection devices.
It is therefore necessary, if such working conditions exist, to provide workers with such
approved individual protection devices and to inform them of the risks relating to noise
exposure.
1.8 Storage
Remove the filter and clean it, empty the container and store the vacuum cleaner in a place
protected against atmospheric agents with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C. Cover with
a nylon sheet to prevent accumulation of dust.
1.9 Scrapping
In case of scrapping, all the component parts of the vacuum cleaner will have to be disposed
of through adequate disposal channels in accordance with applicable legislation.
Before scrapping, all plastic and rubber parts will have to be separated from the electrical
material. Parts made of plastic, aluminium and steel only may be recycled if collected by
special centres.

2.1 Safety details
The person in charge of safety shall be responsible for informing workers about the risks
associated with vacuum cleaner operation.
The obligation also exists of training workers so they are able to protect themselves and
others.
Failure to observe basic safety regulations and Warnings could cause accidents during vacuum
cleaner operation, maintenance and repair. Accidents can often be avoided by recognising
potentially dangerous situations before these occur. Operators should be aware of potential
hazards and be trained and skilled enough. They should also have the tools necessary to
perform these duties properly.
ING.O.FIORENTINI S.p.A.. shall under no circumstances be deemed liable for accidents or
damage caused by use of the vacuum cleaner by personnel not properly trained or who use it
in an improper manner, as well as by even partial failure to comply with the safety regulations
and intervention procedures indicated in this manual.
The safety Warnings and warning notices are indicated in this manual and on the product.
Unless these hazard messages are heeded, the operator could become involved in accidents
with serious consequences for him/herself and for other people.
The safety messages are highlighted by the following symbols:

Warning!
Unless these messages are heeded, vacuum cleaner damage could occur.
ING.O.FIORENTINI S.p.A.. cannot foresee all possible circumstances capable of representing a
potential hazard. The warnings in this manual and on the products should not therefore be
deemed exhaustive. In the event of tools, procedures, work or machining methods being used

ING.O.FIORENTINI S.p.A.. declines all liability in the event of non-original spare parts being
used.
2.2 Safety warnings
Attention!
The following indications are, by themselves, not enough to fully protect against all the
hazards that could arise during vacuum cleaner 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
point.

3.1 Handling
The machine is supplied in a strong cardboard box secured with straps.
Transport the package using a fork-lift truck of adequate lifting capacity and make sure it is
stable and that weight is properly distributed on the forks.
Before starting to move, make sure the transit area is free and that there are no moving
objects on the packaging.
During movement, keep the load low for greater stability and safety.
When starting up the vacuum cleaner, move this by means of the wheels supplied.
The appliance must never be moved using fork-lift trucks or other equipment that lifts it off
the floor.
If for any reason the need arises to lift and transport the vacuum cleaner, this operation
must be performed under the responsibility of the user. The user is therefore invited to
secure the load as he best thinks fit to ensure the operation is performed in total safety.
