Safety instructions
Due to their design and construction, TASKI machines comply with health and
safety requirements of the EC guidelines and therefore carry the CE sign.
Generally adhere to the accident prevention regulations!
By non-observance the manufacturer will not be held liable.
This machine may only be used by persons who have been properly trained to do so.
In order to avoid unauthorised use of the machine, the main switch key must always
be removed and/or the machine must always be stored in an appropriate room.
Regularly check the electrical cabling for damage or ageing.
Repairs to electrical components may only be carried out by authorised TASKI
customer service workshops or experts who are experienced in all aspects of the
relevant security and safety regulations.
While operating the machine, take note of the surrounding area and pay particular
attention to third parties and children.
Only use tools (brushes, pad drives) which are stipulated of the instructions of use.
Use only tools the TASKI-technical specialist recommend (Page 38).
The use of other tools may impair the machine`s safety and or cause damage to
machine.
Turn off the machine before:
• cleaning it
• converting to another function (e.g. changing tool)
• carrying out maintenance
• replacing wear and tear parts
• leaving machine unattended
To do so, pull out the main key and stop the machine from rolling away (e.g. by
fixing a wedge).
Caution:
Do not operate the machine if it is not in a faultless condition, and ensure
its maintenance by expert personnel!
Only use the machine on level floors or inclines of maximum 2%.
This symbol on the machine indicates that it is not suitable for use on surfaces
with greater inclines.
2%

Do not use the machine in rooms where explosive and flammable substances (e.g.
petrol, paint thinners, heating oil, solvents, etc.) are stored or processed.
The machine`s electrical parts or mechanical components could lead to the ignition of
these substances.
Do not use this machine to vacuum toxic, poisonous, caustic or irritating
substances (e.g. acids, alkalis, hazardous dusts, etc.).
The filter system cannot retain such substances sufficiently. This might negatively affect
the health of the user and third parties.
This machine is not suitable for outside use.
Should foam or liquid leak from the machine, follow the instructions below:
Check that the level probe is functioning correctly (page 33).
Remove the cause of the malfunction before continuing operation.
Close the machine hood and the tank cover/dosing cup, before you move the
machine.
Store the machine in a dry, dust-free room with a corrosion-free atmosphere. The
temperature should not fall below +10 °C, and not exceed +35 °C. Low
temperatures, moisture and dust can greatly reduce the life on the rechargeable
batteries and the electronics.
