WARNING
WARNING
- Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
- Read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the work piece or abrasive materials.Contact the suppliers for a copy of the SDS.
- Before use, users should be provided with information, instruction and training for the use of the appliance and the
pollutant it is used for, including the right method for the safe removal and disposal of the substances collected.
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- It is necessary to provide an adequate air change rate in the room if the exhaust air is returned in the room. Reference to
National Regulations is necessary.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- The temperature of the work area must be between 10°C and 35°C with humidity between 50% and 90%.
- The surface on which the machine rests must not exceed a maximum 10-degree gradient.
- When operating a power tool in a damp location, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- The electrical safety of the tool is granted only by using original Kovax parts.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- In the event of a blackout,turn the tool switch in OFF position to avoid accidental start when power comes back.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power

- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from suction parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can get caught in suction parts.
arm injury may result from repetitive work, motion and overexposure to vibrations.
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off mode before connecting to power source, picking up
switch on invites accidents.
- Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
- Do not lift and transport the machine by the handle with a lifting device.
- Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may effect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
- Immediately disconnect the vacuum from the electrical mains if dust is ejected from air outlet.
- Immediately disconnect the machine from the power supply if you notice the presence of foam or liquid leaking during
the vacuuming of liquid.
DO NOT VACUUM THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS
- Flammable or explosive dust (i.e. magnesium, aluminium,etc.).
- Sanding dust from surfaces treated with paints that have not completed the catalyst cycle.
- Sparks or white hot shavings.
