TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
INTENDED USE
SAFETY
SERIAL NUMBER PLATE
The FV9 is a vacuum cleaner which uses the vacuum created in
the collection tank by the fan (enabled by the electric motor) to pick
up dust and dry solid elements measuring up to 2cm at ambient
temperature, as the accessories brush against the oor and
This appliance is designed and built to be used by a qualied
operator to clean (by vacuuming solid, dry elements) smooth,
compactooringinthecommercial,residentialandindustrialsectors,
in proven safety conditions.
Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No
accident prevention programme can be effective without the full
co-operation of the operator who is directly responsible for machine
operation. The majority of occupational accidents that happen both
in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by failure to respect
The serial number plate is located at the rear of the vacuum
cleaner, and indicates the general characteristics of the appliance,
in particular the appliance's serial number. The serial number is a
very important piece of information and should always be provided
together with any request for assistance or to purchase spare parts.
The appliance is only suitable for use in indoor - or at least
covered - areas. The appliance is not suitable for use in the
rain, or under jets of water.
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.

tank, where the dust and solid residues are trapped by lters. The
appliance must only be used for this purpose.

The regulations below must be
carefully followed in order to
avoid harm to the operator and
damage to the appliance.
WARNING:
• Carefully read the warnings
contained in this booklet
and take care of it for further
consultations.
• Since the packaging elements
(plastic bags, staples, etc.) are
a source of danger they should
not be left within the reach of
children, disabled persons, etc.
• This appliance should only use
for the purpose for which it was
constructed, namely: cleaning
inert surfaces, the aspiration of
solid non-ammable and non-
explosive substances.Any other
use is considered incorrect and
hence dangerous.
• When the appliance is operating
do not bring it close to delicate
organs like ears, mouth, eyes,
etc.
• This appliance should
not be used by people
(including children) with
physical, sensory or mental
disabilities, or by people with
little experience or know-how,
unless they are controlled
or have been instructed in
the use of the appliance by
people responsible for their
safety. Children must be
supervised to ensure they do
not play with the appliance.
• Carefully read the labels on the
appliance. Do not cover them
for any reason and replace them
immediately if they become
damaged.
• The appliance must be only
used by authorised, trained
personnel.
• The appliance is not suitable
for cleaning rough or uneven
oors. Do not use the appliance
on slopes.
• It is necessary to make sure that
the power supply cable or the
extension cable do not suffer
any damage caused by the
vehicle wheels when moving,
by crushing, tearing or the like.
Protect the cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges. Regularly
check the power cable for any
damage such as the formation
of cracks, or ageing. If you
notice any damage, the cable
must be replaced before using
the machine. If you notice any
damage to the power cable,
contact an authorised technical
assistance centre immediately.
• In the event of danger,
immediately remove the plug
from the mains socket.
• For maintenance work, switch
off the appliance using the main
GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

16
EN
switch and remove the power
cable plug from the main switch.
• When using the appliance, pay
attention to other people and
especially to children.
• Only use the accessories
supplied with the appliance or
those specied in the instruction
manual, the use of other
accessories can compromise
the safety of the appliance.
• When the appliance is not
being used, it should not be
left connected to the mains
power supply. Before doing
any maintenance work on the
appliance pull out the plug from
the mains. Do not immerse the
appliance in water, do not use
solvents. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for any
damage to persons, animal or
objects deriving from improper
and unreasonable use, and in
any event not complying with
the instructions mentioned
above. For scrapping, follow
the regulations in force in the
country. Do not use the vacuum
cleaner with the power cable
twisted around the lid.
• Before connecting the appliance
to the electricity socket, make
sure the electrical information on
the plate corresponds to that of
the mains supply. The appliance
must only be powered with a
voltage equal to that shown on
the serial number plate.
ATTENTION:
• The appliance must not be
used or kept outdoors, in damp
conditions or directly exposed to
rain.
• The storage temperature must
be between -25C and +55C.
• Conditions of use: room
temperature between 0°C and
40°C, with relative humidity
between 30 and 95%.
• The power supply cable outlet
must have an earth connection
in compliance with the regulatory
standards.
• The appliance does not cause
harmful vibrations.
• Never vacuum gas, liquids
or explosive or inammable
powders, nor non-diluted acids
and solvents! These include
gasoline, paint thinners and fuel
oil (which, when mixed with the
vacuum air, can form explosive
vapours or mixtures), and also
non-diluted acids and solvents,
acetones, aluminium and
magnesium powders. These
substances may also corrode
the materials used to construct
the appliance.
• If the appliance is used in
dangerous areas (for example,
gas stations), the relative
safety standards should be
observed. The appliance must
never be used in environments
with a potentially explosive

17
EN
atmosphere.
• Do not place any liquid
containers on the appliance.
• In the event of a re, use a
powder extinguisher. Do not use
water.
• Do not knock against shelving
or scaffolding, where there
is a danger of falling objects.
The operator must always be
equipped with the appropriate
safety devices (gloves, shoes,
helmet, goggles, etc.).
• If the appliance does not work
properly, check this is not caused
by failure to carry out routine
maintenance. Otherwise, ask
for intervention of the authorised
technical assistance centre.
• If you need to replace any
components, request the
ORIGINAL spare parts from
an Authorised dealer and/or
Retailer.
• Restoreallelectricalconnections
after any maintenance
interventions.
• Before using the appliance,
check that all the hatches and
covers are positioned as shown
in this Use and Maintenance
Manual. Do not remove the
guards that can only be removed
with the aid of tools, except for
maintenance work (see the
relevant paragraphs).
• Do not wash the appliance
with direct water jets or with
pressurised water, nor with
corrosive substances.
• Have the appliance checked
by an authorised technical
assistance centre every year.
• When disposing of consumable
materials, observe the laws and
regulations in force. When, after
years of valuable work, your
appliance needs to be nally
decommissioned, dispose of
the materials contained in it
appropriately, bearing in mind
that the appliance is made of
fully recyclable materials.
