instructions carefully, ensure to turn the machine OFF and disconnect the battery connector.
Do not operate the machine near toxic, dangerous, flammable and/or explosive powders, liquids or
vapour. This machine is not suitable for collecting dangerous powders.
Do not wear jewels when working near electrical components.
Do not work under the lifted machine without supporting it with safety stands.
When using lead (WET) batteries, they may emit inflammable gas under normal use, must keep
sparks, flames, smoking materials and radiating, illuminating and burning items away from the
batteries.
When charging lead (WET) batteries, they may emit hydrogen gas which may cause explosive. Must
ensure the charging environment is well ventilated and away from naked flames.
WARNING!
Check the machine carefully before each use. Ensure that all the components have been well
assembled before use. Or it may causes damages to people and properties.
Before using the battery charger, ensure that the values of frequency and voltage indicated on the
machine serial number label match those of mains.

door, or winding on sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine on the battery charger cable.
Keep the battery charger cable away from heated surfaces.
Do not charge the batteries if the battery charger cable or the plug are damaged.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, make sure machine is off before leaving.
Use or store the machine indoors in dry conditions, it is not allowed for outdoor use.
The machine both storage and working temperature must be between 0 °C and +40 °C, the humidity
of air must be between 30% - 95%.
Do not use the machine on slopes with a gradient exceeding as specification show.
When using and handling floor cleaning detergents, follow the instructions on the labels of the
detergent bottles and wear suitable gloves and protections.
Use brushes and pads supplied with the machine or defined in the manual. Using other brushes or
pads could reduce safety.
