1. INFORMATIVE SECTION
1.0 Forword
Dear Customer
Thank you for preferring DEPURECO and congratulate you on choosing a DEPURECO series BULL vacuum
cleaner.
This manual has been prepared to let you fully appreciate quality of this machine.
We recommend you to read it in each part before first time use.
Many information, advices and instructions are contained in this manual that will help you to make an
optimum use of technical equipment of your machine.
We recommend you to read carefully messages, instructions and information, preceded by following
symbols:
referred to people safety;
referred to saving vacuum cleaner;
referred to saving environment.
This vacuum cleaner has been designed to vacuum up dust, working residues and liquids (with optional). It is
mounted on robust wheels, one of which is fitted with a brake to hold the machine still while is working.
The vacuum gauge fitted to the machine shows to the operator the condition of the filter: an increase of the
vacuum level indicates that the filter is becoming more blocked, with a consequent reduction of the vacuum
cleaner’s power.
Due to cyclonic effect, the aspired material tends to deposit itself on the bottom of the container and the finer
dust particles contained in the mixture will deposit themselves on the filtering surface.
This manual describes the following models:
BULL UNO Single-phase electric vacuum cleaner
BULL TRE Three-phase electric vacuum cleaner
The vacuum cleaner can be equipped with the following filters:
M FILTER
L FILTER
MTF FILTER
H FILTER
For increased filtering capacity, M filter H FILTER (or absolute filter) can be fitted.
These vacuum cleaners are classified according to the following dust categories:

5
M
medium risk - suitable for the separation of the dust with a exposure limit value by volume >
0,1 mg/m
3
H
high risk - suitable for the separation of the dust with a exposure limit value by volume,
including cancerogenic and pathogenic dust types.
This manual provides you all the information required for operation and maintenance of your vacuum
cleaner.
Before leaving the factory, this particular model was subjected to intense testing in order to ensure maximum
reliability; good operating and life cycle will depend by a correct maintenance and a care use.
This manual forms an integral part of the vacuum cleaner and must accompany the machine during the life
cycle. In case of loss or damage a replacement copy must be asked for to DEPURECO S.r.l.
Technical information contained in this manual are DEPURECO property and are to be considered reserved.
Copying of any diagrams, text or illustrations is prohibited by law.
Certain details shown in the illustration of this manual, may differ from those of your vacuum cleaner and
certain details may have been omitted for purposes of clarity of the illustrations.
This manual has been divided into sections for easy consulting and each section has been identified by a
specific graphic symbol.
The matters dealt with in this manual are those expressly required in terms of “Machines Directive
2006/42/EC” and the technical data shown come from technical file closed at DEPURECO.
With reference to Regulation 1907/2006/EC (REACH), DEPURECO hereby declares that no Substances of
Very High Concern (SVHC) remembered in the Candidate List, are contained in its own products.
This manual must be stored in a place that is accessible to all personnel required to operate or carry out
maintenance of the vacuum cleaner.
In the event of any dispute arising, the Court of Torino (Italy) shall have jurisdition.
The manual must accompany the vacuum cleaner in the event of it being sold!

non-corrosive liquids.
Any other use is considered INCORRECT.
1.6 Authorized environmental conditions
To ensure correct operation, vacuum cleaner must be kept away from atmospheric agents (rain, hail, snow,
fog, dust in suspension, etc.) in an area with room temperature range between 5° and 45°C and a
relative humidity not higher than 70%.
Work area must be clean, with sufficient lighting and have a non-explosive atmosphere.

8
