Symbols used to mark
instructions
Before using the
vacuum cleaner,
always read
the operating
instructions and
keep them read-
ily available.
This symbol is
used to mark
safety instruc-
tions that must
be observed to
prevent damage
to the vacuum cleaner and its
performance.
This symbol is
used to mark
safety instruc-
tions that must
be observed to
prevent damage to persons.
This symbol in-
dicates tips and
instructions to
simplify work and to ensure safe
operation.
For your own safety Only allow the vacuum cleaner
to be used by persons who have
been trained in its use and who
have been explicitly authorized
to use it.
Despite its simple handling the
vacuum cleaner is not suitable
for children.
The use of the vacuum cleaner
is subject to valid national regu-
lations. Besides the operating
instructions and the binding
accident prevention regulations
valid in the country of use, ob-
serve recognized regulations for
safety and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work
techniques.
Purpose and intended use The vacuum cleaners described
in this operating manual are
suitable for
– commercial use, e.g. in
hotels, schools, hospitals,
factories, shops, offices and
rental businesses.
– for separation of dust with an
exposure limit of greater than
0,1 mg/m³, (dust class M).
The following materials should
not be picked up by the vacuum
cleaner:
– hot materials (burning ciga-
rettes, hot ash, etc.)
– flammable, explosive, ag-
gressive liquids (e.g. petrol,
solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.)
– flammable, explosive dust
(e.g. magnesium or alumini-
um dust, etc.)
When dust removers are used,
the rate at which air is ex-
changed in the room must be
adequate if the exhaust air from
the vacuum cleaner is blown into
the room (please observe regu-
lations valid in your country).

Precautions and safety regu-
lations when using the vacu-
um cleaner
Before start-up
Inspect power cord regularly
to detect signs of damage, e.g.
cracks or ageing.
If the power cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by Nilfisk-
Alto-Service or an electrician to
avoid danger before use of the
vacuum cleaner is continued.
Use only the type of power
cord specified in the operating
manual.
Do not damage the power cord
(e.g. by moving over it or pulling
or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by
pulling the plug only (do not pull
or tug the power cord).
Inspect the vacuum cleaners to
ensure that they are in proper
condition. Plugs and couplings
in power cords must at least
have splash protection.
Never use the vacuum cleaner if
the filter element is damaged.
Picking up liquids
If foam develops or liquid
emerges, stop work immediately
and empty the dirt tank.
Regularly clean the built in float
(ATTIX 360-2M/550-2M/751-
2M) and level indicator hose
(ATTIX 560-2MXC/761-2MXC)
to limit the water level and check
that they are not damaged.
See section 5 for information on
handling liquids and (hazard-
ous) dust.
Electrical components
Check the rated voltage of the
vacuum cleaner before con-
necting it to the mains supply
system. Ensure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate cor-
responds to the voltage of the
local mains power supply.
If you are using an extension
cord, use only those specified
by the manufacturer or higher
quality ones (see section 9.4
„Technical data“).
It is recommended that the
vacuum cleaner should be con-
nected via a residual current
circuit breaker. This stops the
supply of electricity if the leak-
age current to earth exceeds 30
mA for 30 ms or it has an earth
tester circuit.
When using an extension lead,
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length
m
Cross section
<16 A <25 A
up to 20 m
ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m
ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
Arrange the electrical parts
(sockets, plugs and couplings)
and lay down the extension lead
so that the protection class is
maintained.
Never spray water on to the
upper section of the vacuum
cleaner. Danger for persons,
risk or short-circuiting.
Observe the latest edition of the
IEC regulations.

5 Applications and techniques
5.1 Techniques If used correctly, additional ac-
cessories, suction nozzles and
suction hoses can enhance the
cleaning action and reduce the
cleaning effort.
Effective cleaning is achieved if
you follow just a few guidelines
in combination with your own
practical experience in special
fields.
Here are some basic tips.
5.1.1 Picking up dry
substances
The suction hose diameter must
suit the position of the switch in
order to pick up dry, nonflam-
mable dust with maximum room
concentration values.
There must always be a safety
filter bag in the tank before dry
substances with maximum room
concentration values are picked
up. See section 9.5 “Accesso-
ries” for ordering number.
To pick up harmless dust we
recommend the use of a waste
bag. See section 9.5 “Accesso-
ries” for ordering number. Dis-
posal of the picked up material
is then simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the filter
element is wet. A damp filter el-
ement clogs more quickly when
dry substances are picked up.
For this reason the filter element
should be washed and dried or
replaced by a dry element be-
fore dry substances are picked
up.
Always use a filter bag/waste
bag that is suitable for the type
of dust (see table):
