TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
INTENDED USE
SAFETY
SERIAL NUMBER PLATE
The VAC WD 20-40-60 is a vacuum cleaner and a wet vacuum cleaner which uses the vacuum created in the collection tank by the fan,
operated by the electric motor, to pick up dust and dry solid elements measuring up to 2cm at an ambient temperature, or else liquids, using
accessories in contact with 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.
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.
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.
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 most basic safety rules. An attentive, careful operator is most effective guarantee against
accidents and is fundamental in order to implement any prevention programme.
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.
