2SAFETY SECTION
2.1 INFORMATION REGARDING SAFETY
Pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 81/08 as amended, the Safety Manager must inform
and train workers on the risks associated with using the vacuum cleaner, so that they are
able to protect their own safety and that of others.
Failure to observe the basic safety rules or precautions can cause accidents during use, maintenance or repair
of the vacuum cleaner. An accident can often be avoided by recognising potentially dangerous situations
before they actually occur. Adequate training is a fundamental requirement.
DEPURECO will not be held liable for any accidents or damages resulting from the vacuum cleaner being
used by untrained staff or being used improperly, or from failure to observe, even partially, the accident
prevention regulations and intervention procedures in this manual.
Safety precautions and warnings are indicated in this manual and on the product itself.
If these danger messages are ignored, the operator can have an accident with serious consequences for
himself and for other people.
Security messages are highlighted with the following symbols:
Caution!
These messages, if not observed, could cause harm to the operator.

14
Caution!
These messages, if not observed, could cause damage to the vacuum cleaner.
Caution!
These messages, if not observed, could cause damage to the environment.
DEPURECO carefully designs and manufactures the appliances and their accessories, identifying and
compensating for all possible risks associated with use. If tools, procedures, work methods or working
techniques not explicitly envisaged by DEPURECO are used, you must ensure beforehand that there are no
dangers for yourself or for others, even so, DEPURECO will not be held liable.
2.2 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Caution!
The instructions below play an important role to completely protect against all of the
dangers that can be incurred when
operating the vacuum cleaner. However, they

overall framework for careful prevention of accidents.
Each section contains a list of additional safety requirements specific for the different
operations.

15
