Instructions for use
Read the operating instructions and comply with the important safety recommendations identied by the word WARNING!
Operator’s safety
WARNING!
Before starting the vacuum cleaner, it is
absolutely essential to read these operating
instructions and to keep them ready at hand
for consultation.
Before using the vacuum cleaner, operators must be
informed, instructed and trained on how to work it and
for which substances its usage is permitted including
the safe method for removing and disposing of the
vacuumed material.
Proper uses
Any other use is considered improper.
This vacuum cleaner has been designed to be used by one
operator at a time. Do not carry out any operation that could
jeopardize the safety of people, property and the environment.
Comply with the safety indications and prescriptions in this
instruction manual.
General recoinendations
WARNING!
Risk of re outbreaks and explosions.
• The vacuum cleaner can only be used when active
sources of ignition are not going to be vacuumed.
• It is forbidden to vacuum the following materials:
• burning materials (embers, hot ashes, lighted
cigarettes, etc.);
• flainable liquids, aggressive fuels (e.g.
gasoline, solvents, acids, alkaline solutions,
etc.).
• It is forbidden to vacuum the following materials:
explosive dust or dust liable to spontaneous
ignition (such as magnesium or aluminium dusts,
etc.).
• The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for vacuuming
explosive or similar substances, as established
by the laws governing explosive substances,
particularly: liquid fuels and mixtures of ainable
dust and liquids.
WARNING!
Turn off the vacuum cleaner, unplug it and ask for
assistance from qualied personnel in the event of the
following:
• lter breakage;
• re outbreak;
• short-circuit;
• motor failure;
• electric shock;
WARNING!

Vacuuming of liquids and shavings
When the machine vacuums shavings and liquids produced
during the machining process, the solid shavings are captured
in the chip basket. Liquids ow into the container underneath
(2).
Before turning on the vacuum cleaner, t the vacuum hose
into the inlet (4) and then t the required tool to the end of the
hose.
The oat (11) stops the vacuuming operation (the vacuuming
units remain activated) when the liquid container (2) is full; it
is then necessary to turn off the vacuum cleaner and to empty
the liquid container (2).

Setting up - connection to the power
supply
WARNING!
• Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is in good
condition before starting work.
• Before plugging the vacuum cleaner into the
electrical mains, make sure that the voltage rating
indicated on the data plate corresponds to that of
the electrical mains.
• Plug the vacuum cleaner into a socket with a
properly installed ground connection. Make sure
that the vacuum cleaner is off.
• The plugs and connectors of the connection
cables must be protected against splashing water.
• Make sure that connections to the electrical mains
and plug are correct.
• Use the vacuum cleaner only when the cables
that connect to the electrical mains are in good
condition (damaged cables could lead to electric
shocks!).
• Regularly check that the electric cable does not
show signs of damage, excessive wear, cracks or
aging.
WARNING!
When the vacuum cleaner is operating:
• Do not crush, pull, damage or tread on the cable
that connects to the electrical mains.
• Only disconnect the cable from the electrical
mains by removing the plug (do not pull the cable).
• Only replace the electric power cable with one of
the same type as the original (H05 VV-F); the same
rule applies if an extension is used.
• The cable must be replaced by the manufacturer’s
Service Centre staff or by equivalent qualied
personnel.
WARNING!
The vacuum cleaner’s power socket must be protected
by a differential circuit-breaker with surge current
limitation, that shuts off the power supply when the
current discharged to the ground exceeds 30 mA for
30 msec. or an equivalent protection circuit.
WARNING!
Never spray water on the vacuum cleaner: this could
be dangerous for persons and could short circuit the
power supply.

Vacuuming Liquids
WARNING!
Comply with the safety regulations governing the
materials for which the vacuum cleaner is used.
WARNING!
• Before vacuuming, check that the oat is present.
• If foam forms, turn off the vacuum cleaner
iinediately and empty the container.
• Warning: switch off the vacuum cleaner iinediately
if foam or liquid leaks out.
• Warning: the dirty liquid collected by the vacuum
cleaner must be considered conductive.
WARNING!
Do not use the vacuum cleaner without the oat!
If it’s used without the oat, the vacuum cleaner may
be seriously damaged.
Maintenance and repairs
WARNING!
Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from its power
source before cleaning, servicing, replacing parts or
converting it to obtain another variant.
• Carry out only the maintenance operations
described in this manual.
• Use only original spare parts.
• Do not modify the vacuum cleaner in any way.
Failure to comply with these instructions could
jeopardize your safety. Moreover, such action
would iinediately void the EC declaration of
conformity issued with the vacuum cleaner.
WARNING!
To carry out maintenance operations which are not
described in this manual contact the manufacturer’s
Service Centre or our sales network.

operation; nevertheless, the vacuum motrs remain
activated.
• Switch off the vacuum motors by pushing the switches
(1).
Note: Drain any excess liquid from inside the suction hose
back into the container before activating the diverter valve.
• Make sure the discharge hose (4-gure 7) is properly
attached to the drain valve (3-gure 7) and the valve on
the handle is closed.
• Open the drain valve (3)
• Activate the diverter valve (2), and move it to position A,
in order to reverse the ow of air.
• Push both switches (1) to start the machine.
• Holding the drain hose rmly, open the valve on the drain
hose to start the ow of liquid.
• At the end of the emptying operation push both switches
(1) to stop the vacuum units.

WARNING!
The precautions described below must be taken during
all the maintenance operations, including cleaning and
replacing of the safety lters.
• To allow the user to carry out the maintenance
operations, the vacuum cleaner must be
disassembled, cleaned and overhauled as far as
is reasonably possible, without causing hazards
for the maintenance staff or others. The suitable
precautions include decontamination before
disassembling the vacuum cleaner, adequate
ltered ventilation of the exhaust air from the
room in which it is disassembled, cleaning of
the maintenance area and suitable personal
protection.
Compartments that are not dust-tight must be opened
with suitable tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.) and
thoroughly cleaned.
• Carry out a technical inspection at least once a
year, for example: check the lters to nd out
whether the seal of the vacuum cleaner has
been impaired in any way and make sure that
the electric control panel operates correctly.
This inspection must be carried out by the
manufacturer or by a qualied technician.
