in the appropriate category (According to the definition given in the
2014/34/EU Directive.
Any other use is considered IMPROPER.
1.7 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.
1.8 Noise level
The phonometric tests performed on this specific vacuum cleaner model
demonstrate a sound pressure level of
TB M Z22
TB T Z22

2. SAFETY SECTION
2.1 Safety Information
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.
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 than original have been
used.

2.2 Safety recommendations
WARNING!
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.
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.
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.
Only disconnect the cable from the electrical mains by removing the
plug (do not pull the
