The able may only be repla ed with one of the type H07 RN-F 3G 1,5 mm² with a fuse of
1 Ampere.
. Switching on and off
Caution!
Only authorised persons may operate this industrial va uum leaner. The user must
he k omplian e with all prote tive measures and safety pre autions.
Move the va uum leaner near to the area to be leaned and apply the parking brake.
All models feature a ombined ON/OFF swit h. Press this swit h on e and the leaner will
start.
Now the leaner is ready for operation and swarfs as well as liquids an be va uumed.
The va uumed swarfs are olle ted – depending on the onstru tion type of the va uum
leaner – in the swarf basket or on the installed swarf separation bottom, whi h is inside the
dirt box. The liquids/emulsions tri kle into the lower ontainer.
For version with ele troni al liquid level ontrol (sensor):
As soon as the maximum level is rea hed the probe of the liquid level ontrol rea ts, the
indi ator light illuminates and the leaner disrupts the su tion pro ess automati ally.
Dirt box and swarf basket have to be emptied now.
If the indi ator light remains on even on e the dirt box and the swarf basket have been
emptied, this an mean that the probe used for he king the liquid level has be ome
ontaminated. The probe is lo ated in the dirt ontainer and must be leaned as
appropriate.
For version with filling-level hose:
If the liquid rea hes the maximum level (see arrow „maximum“) the leaner has to be shut
down and the dirt box must be emptied.
Attention!
The vis ous slime whi h originates on ooling lubri ants owing to mi robial
ontamination should be disposed of separately from the ontainer; sin e through
the vis osity of that slime the swarf basket’s vents may be sealed and the passing
resp. draining of other liquids will be hampered.
Duty time:
Single phase machines:
Suitable for periodi use.
Prolonged duty lasting more than 90 minutes must be followed by a ooling-down period of
at least 30 minutes.

7. Gebrauch des Staubsaugers
This va uum leaner must ONLY be used to pi k up substan es deemed suitable a ording
to the information on its nameplate. In orre t use or misuse will invalidate the warranty.
Appropriate use:
This industrial va uum leaner is suited for va uuming various liquids, ooling lubri ants and
swarfs whi h a umulate during produ tion and metal working pro esses. The leaner
separates the swarfs from the liquids. The swarfs remain in the swarf basket and the liquids
tri kle into the lower ontainer.
Residual risk analysis
If the instru tion manual is omplied with and work pro eeds in a ordan e with the
operating sequen es it des ribes whilst appli able safety pre autions are taken by
operators, the va uum leaner should pose no risk in normal operation.
However, if the va uum leaner is used to pi k up a variety of substan es, there remains the
risk of these substan es ombining to produ e an unforeseeable hemi al rea tion.
. Disposal of dirt:
Emptying the swarf basket and dirt container:
• Run the va uum leaner hose empty.
• Swit h off the ma hine by a tuating the ON/OFF swit h.
• The liquid an be drained through the draining hose.
• EP 1236-100: Lower the dirt ontainer through the levers on both sides
EP 1236-140: Loosen tension lamps and take down the motor head
• The swarfs an now be disposed of separately. For this purpose tip the dirt ontainer out
or remove the swarf basket (only for models with swarf basket).
Caution!
Dirt must be disposed of in omplian e with appli able legal requirements for waste
disposal and/or hazardous waste disposal.
Attention!
The vis ous slime whi h originates on ooling lubri ants owing to mi robial
ontamination should be disposed of separately from the ontainer; sin e through
the vis osity of that slime the swarf basket’s vents may be sealed and the passing
resp. draining of other liquids will be hampered.

9. Cleaning or changing of the cartridge filter
The artridge filter is installed under the lid of the dirt ontainer (su tion lid). This artridge
filter prevents the intrusion of dirt into the motor.
If the leaner operates with diminished apa ity, the artridge filter has to be leaned. If the
artridge filter itself is damaged, it must be repla ed by a artridge filter of the same
onstru tion and same hara teristi s.
For leaning or hanging the artridge filter please pro eed as follows:
• Swit h off the leaner by a tuation of the OFF-swit h.
• Loosen the tension ring or tension lamps of the motor head.
• For model „Sensor“: loosen the ele tri al onne tion of the liquid level ontrol
• Take down the motor head and deposit it arefully.
• Twist off the s rew joint of the artridge filter.
• Pull the artridge filter from the pipe so ket and repla e it by a new artridge filter of the
same onstru tion and hara teristi s.
• If the filter should only be leaned, you an do that now. The filter onsists of water-
tolerant polypropylene and an be wet leaned.
Achtung!
Der Patronenfilter muss zur Reinigung aus dem Gerät entnommen werden.
Note!
For leaning the artridge filter has to be taken out of the devi e.
• If you position a new or leaned artrdige filter onto the pipe so ket and tighten the
s rew joint, pay lose attention to the perfe t and stable seating of the artridge filter.
• Position the motor head on the ontainer
• Tighten tension ring or tension lamps and pay attention to a perfe t seating!
Attention !
Pay attention to the right seating of the motor head and the tension ring/ tension
lamps!
• The leaner is now again ready for operation.
