TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
FV20.1 WD is a wet & dry vacuum cleaner which uses the vacuum created in the collection tank by the fan
(enabled by the electrical motor) to pick up dust and dry solid elements measuring up to 2cm at ambient
temperature, as the accessories brush against the oor and furnishings.
The vacuum hose channels the air into the collection tank, where the dust and solid residues are trapped by lters.
The appliance must only be used for this purpose.
INTENDED USE
This wet& dry vacuum cleaner was designed and built to be used by a qualied operator to clean smooth, compact
ooring in the commercial, residential and industrial sectors, in proven safety conditions.
The wet & dry vacuum cleaner is only suitable for use in indoor, or in covered areas.
ATTENTION: the appliance is not suitable for use in the rain, or under jets of water.
ATTENTION: IT IS FORBIDDEN to use the appliance for picking up dangerous dusts or inammable liquids in
places with an explosive atmosphere. In addition, it is not suitable as a means of transport for people or objects.
SAFETY
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No accident prevention programme can be e󰀨ective
without the full co-operation of the operator who is directly responsible for machine operation. The majority of
occupational accidents that happen either in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by failure to respect
the most basic safety rules. An attentive, careful operator is most e󰀨ective guarantee against accidents and is
fundamental in order to implement any prevention programme.
