This vacuum cleaner creates a strong air ow which is drawn
in through the inlet (4) and blows out from the motor head
cover (5).
Before turning the vacuum cleaner on, t the vacuum hose
into the inlet and then t the required tool on the end of the
hose. After the hose and tools have been tted, make sure
that the motor turns correctly.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a main lter which
enables it to be used for the majority of applications.
Besides the main lter which retains the more common
types of dust, the vacuum cleaner is tted with an upstream
absolute (HEPA) lter with a higher ltering capacity for ne
dust and substances harmful to health.
Vacuuming of liquids (Optional)
The machine vacuums liquids and deposits them into the
container.
When the machine vacuums liquid materials must be
equipped with an optional oat for stopping liquids (9).
The oater stopping liquids requires a dedicated bin (10) with
apposite inlet (11).
Before turning on the vacuum cleaner close the top inlet with
the apposite lid (12) and t the vacuum hose into the inlet then
t the required tool on to the other end of the hose (refer to
the manufacturer’s accessory catalog or Service Center).
The oat (9) stops the vacuuming operation (the vacuuming
units remain activated) when the liquid container (10) is full; it
is then necessary to turn off the vacuum cleaner and to empty
the liquid container (10).
The vacuum cleaner does not shut off automatically.

Cet aspirateur produit un puissant ux d’air qui est aspiré par
la bouche d’aspiration (4) et est émis par le couvercle de la
tête du moteur (5).
Avant de mettre l’aspirateur en marche, brancher le tuyau
d’aspiration dans la bouche et monter l’accessoire adapté au
travail à effectuer sur l’extrémité du tuyau. Après avoir mis le
tuyau et les accessoires en place, vérier la juste rotation du
moteur.
L’aspirateur est équipé d’un ltre primaire qui permet le
fonctionnement de la plupart des applications.
En plus du ltre principal qui retient les types ordinaires de
poussières, l’aspirateur est équipé d’un ltre absolu (HEPA) à
l’aspiration, à haut pouvoir ltrant, pour les poussières nes et
les substances nocives pour la santé.
Aspiration de liquides (en option)
La machine aspire les liquides et les dépose à l’intérieur de la
cuve.
Lorsque la machine aspire les liquides, elle doit être équipée
d’un otteur en option pour arrêter les liquides (9).
Le otteur d’arrêt des liquides exige un bac spécial (10) avec
une bouche prévue à cet effet (11).
Avant de mettre l’aspirateur en marche, fermer la bouche
supérieure avec le couvercle prévu à cet effet (12) et brancher
le tuyau d’aspiration dans la bouche correspondante puis
monter l’accessoire indiqué pour le travail à faire sur l’autre
extrémité du tuyau (consulter le catalogue des accessoires ou
contacter le service après-vente du fabricant).
Le otteur (9) arrête l’aspiration (les unités d’aspiration restent
en fonction) quand la cuve de récupération de liquide (10) est
pleine. Il est nécessaire d’éteindre l’aspirateur et de vidanger
la cuve du liquide (10).
L’aspirateur ne s’arrête pas automatiquement.
