1.7 Permitted Uses
These vacuum cleaners are built and designed in accordance with Directive 2006/42 /
EC (Machinery Directive) for an exclusive professional industrial use; however, for
purposes other than normal domestic purposes.
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 the dust> 3mJ
The vacuum cleaner was conceived to be used by only one operator.
In accordance with the Directive 1999/92/EC, whenever in the presence of combustible
dust and/or flammable gas, it’s the responsibility of the employer to carry out the
classification of the Zone and to choose a device in the appropriate category (According
to the definition given in the 2014/34/EU Directive.
Any other use is considered IMPROPER.
1.8 Authorised environmental conditions
To ensure the 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 and suitably lit.
1.9 Noise level
The phonometric tests performed on this specific vacuum cleaner model demonstrate
a sound pressure level of
72 dB(A)
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 the risks
involved with using the vacuum cleaner so that they may be able to avoid
injury to themselves and others.
The use of device by people (including children) with limited physical and mental
capacities or lacking in experience and knowledge is strictly forbidden, unless they are
supervised by a person who is experienced in the use and safe handling of the device.
Children must be supervised to make sure they will not play with the device.
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.
The safety warnings are indicated by the following symbols:
DEPURECO designs and manufactures its equipment and accessories with care,
identifying and compensating possible risks related to their use. In the event of
equipment, procedures, work methods or techniques not expressly provided for by
DEPURECO being used, it is crucial to ensure beforehand that there are no dangers for
oneself and the others. Nevertheless, DEPURECO shall not be held liable.
Use exclusively Depureco original spare parts.
Depureco disclaims any liability in case spare parts other

The following information is essential in view of preventing all
hazards that may occur while the vacuum cleaner is running.
However, they cannot replace the expertise and common sense of
operators as an overall framework for the prevention of accidents.
Structural damage, alterations or improper repairs can modify the
protective capacity of the vacuum, thereby nullifying this
certification and releasing DEPURECO from any liability.
Each section lists further safety measures specific to the various
functions.
ATTENZIONE!
WARNING!
Setting to work – connection to the power supply
• Make sure there is no evident sign of damage to the vacuum cleaner before
starting work.
• Before plugging the vacuum cleaner into the electrical mains, make sure the
voltage rating
indicated on the data plate corresponds to that of the electrical mains.
• Plug the vacuum cleaner into a socket with a correctly installed ground
contact/connection.
Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is turned off.
• The plugs and connectors of the connection cables must be protected against
splashes of
water.
• There are antitastic wheels
• Check that the vacuum cleaner is properly connected to the electrical mains.
• Use the vacuum cleaner only when the cables that connect to the electrical mains
are in perfect condition (damaged cables could lead to electric shocks!).
• Regularly check there are no signs of damage, excessive wear, cracks or ageing
on the electric cable.
WARNING!
When the vacuum cleaner is operating, do not:
• Crush, pull, damage or tread on the cable that connects to the electrical
mains.
