1.7 Permitted uses
These vacuum cleaners are constructed and designed in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU
(ATEX) for professional industrial use only; however, for purposes other than normal domestic use.
This vacuum cleaner, is suitable for performing cleaning and collection of solid materials and only in
covered areas.
This vacuum cleaner is designed to collect combustible dust and/or dry
particles in atmospheres classified as Zone 22 (valid for atex vacuum
cleaners), with the following limitations:
Minimum ignition energy (MIE) of dust > 3mJ
The vacuum cleaner is designed to be used by a single operator.
In accordance with Directive 1999/92/EC, if there is the presence of combustible dust and/or
flammable gases in the workplace, it is the responsibility of the Employer to carry out the
classification of the Zone, and choose an appropriate Category machine (as defined in Directive
2014/34/EU).
Extraction of chemically unstable dust is prohibited.
Any other use is considered IMPROPER
1.8 Authorized environmental conditions
To ensure correct operation, the vacuum cleaner must be kept away from atmospheric agents (rain,
hail, snow, fog, dust in suspension, etc.) in an area with a room temperature range between 5° and
45°C and a relative humidity no higher than 70%.
The work environment must be clean, suitably lit and must not give rise to potentially explosive
atmosphere.
1.9 Noise level
The phonometric tests performed on this specific vacuum cleaner model demonstrate a
sound pressure level of
TX 750
TX 400 P
TX 400 S
TX 550 P
TX 550 S
TX 750
WARNING!
Workers exposed to sound pressure levels higher than 85 dB(A) must be protected
by suitable personal protection device (PPE) such as certified ear muffs.
Under these conditions, workers must be provided with adequate training
and information on risks arising from noise exposure.

2. SAFETY SECTION
2.1 Safety informations
As per Italian Legislative Decree 81/08 and subsequent modifications, the Safety
Manager must train and inform workers about risks involved with using the vacuum
cleaner so that they may be able to avoid injury to themselves and others.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or
mental capacities are impaired, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless they have benefited,
through the intermediary of a person responsible for
their safety, of supervision or instruction concerning the use of the equipment. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Failure to comply norms, laws or basic safety precautions, may cause accidents during operation,
maintenance and repair of the vacuum cleaner. Accidents can frequently be avoided by recognising
potentially hazardous situations before they occur. Adequate training is crucial to this end.
DEPURECO shall not be held liable for accidents or damage due to the improper use of the vacuum
by untrained personnel or to failure to comply, even partially, with the occupational safety standards
and intervention procedures contained in this manual.
Safety warnings and precautions are indicated in this manual as well as on the product itself.
Operators must pay special attention to these hazard warnings to prevent accidents with serious
consequences for themselves and other people.
DEPURECO carefully designs and manufactures the equipment and its accessories, identifying and
compensating for all possible risks associated with its use. In the event that tools, procedures,
working methods or techniques are used, which are not explicitly provided for by DEPURECO, it will
be necessary to ascertain in advance, that there are no dangers to oneself and others, with
DEPURECO's responsibility remaining excluded in any case.
Use only original Depureco spare parts.
Depureco accepts no responsibility for the use of non-
original spare parts.

2.2 Safety recommendations
WARNING!
The directions below play an important role in completely preserving you from all
the hazards you may incur when operating the vacuum cleaner. However, they
cannot replace the expertise and common sense of the operator as an overall
framework for careful accident prevention. Structural damage, modifications,
alterations, or improper repair may alter the protective capabilities of the vacuum
cleaner thereby nullifying this certification and excluding any liability on the part
of DEPURECO. Additional safety requirements specific to different operations
are listed in each section.
The manual must accompany the vacuum cleaner in case of resale
WARNING!
Commissioning - connection to the power grid
• Before commissioning, make sure the vacuum cleaner has no obvious damage.
• Insert the plug of the connecting cable into an outlet with properly installed contact/grounding
connection. Make sure the vacuum cleaner is turned off.
• Main cable plugs and connectors must be protected from water splashes.
Ensure that the grounding clamp is properly connected, to a point for which
continuity with the grounding system is guaranteed.
• Anti-static wheels are only on FOX ZONE 15 and FOX ZONE 22 machine models, so be
sure of the correct connection to the grounding system
• Check for proper connection to the power grid.
• Use only vacuum cleaners with mains connection cables in perfect condition (there is a
danger of electric shock if the cable is damaged!).
• Regularly check for damage and signs of wear and tear, cracking or aging of the grid
connection cable.
WARNING!
During operation, avoid:
• Step on, crush, pull or damage the mains connection cable.
• Disconnect the cable from the mains only by pulling the plug (do not pull the cable
itself).
• When replacing the power supply cord, replace it with one of the same type as the
original one installed; the same requirement applies if an extension cord is used.
• The power cord must be replaced by the manufacturer's Service Department or
equivalent qualified personnel
WARNING!
Avoid to:
• Remove the vacuum breaker valve
• Remove the filter mounted on the vacuum breaker valve.

!
16!
!
CAUTION!
It is absolutely forbidden:
• Use of this vacuum cleaner by persons who are not of adult age and properly trained.
• Making the electrical connection to a network without an efficient grounding.
• The use outdoors in the presence of atmospheric precipitation.
• The use of the vacuum cleaner in the absence of the appropriate lock placed on the swivel wheel
during vacuuming operations.
• The use of the vacuum cleaner placed on unlevel and non-horizontal surfaces.
• The use in corrosive environments
• The Use of non-antistatic hoses in the mass (anti-staticity is not allowed only superficial). The use
of original DEPURECO accessories is recommended. Check with an ohmmeter for electrical
continuity:
1. between nozzle and terminal part of suction accessories: the resistance detected must be
less than 100MΩ
2. between the receptacle and the plug (ground pin) in the case of electric machine, or
between the receptacle and grounding wire (supplied) in the case of compressed air models.
The resistance detected must be: - less than 10 Ω
• The use of the machine in working environments that are not classified according to the
information on the machine nameplate
• Vacuum the following materials:
1. Burning materials (embers, hot ashes, lit cigarettes, etc.).
2. Open flames.
3. Combustible gases.
4. Flammable, combustible, aggressive liquids (gasoline, solvents, acids, alkaline solutions,
etc.).
5. Explosive and spontaneously igniting dusts/substances and/or mixtures thereof (magnesium
or aluminum dusts, etc.).Manomettere o modificare la valvola limitatrice impostata dal
costruttore
• Performing maintenance on the industrial vacuum cleaner in ATEX classified areas
• Perform maintenance on the vacuum cleaner without first turning off the machine and
disconnecting the electrical plug from the outlet
• Keeping foreign materials such as debris, oil, tools and other objects inside the container that
could damage operation and cause personal injury.
