VACUUM CLEANER – CLASS H
SAFETY INDICATIONS
Operator safety
This manual is to be considered as an integral part of the general user manual and provides the necessary
instructions for the special class H dust vacuum cleaners.
The supplied general instruction booklet must be read beforehand.
In addition to the user instructions and the current regulations in the country of use, the sector’s recognised
technical regulations for the safe and appropriate use of this equipment must also be followed.
The UNI 10720 standard (Guidelines for selection and use of respiratory protective devices) establishes the
guidelines for the criteria of selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective devices
Transport and handling
ATTENTION
Be sure to close all of the dirt container’s locking hooks before transport.
Do not turn the device upside down.
Possible uses for the vacuum cleaner
The vacuum appliances to which these user instructions refer are suitable for professional use and, in
particular, for the control of dusts with an exposure limit value as per the class rating of the Vacuum
cleaner. This is stated on the side of the tank. H CLASS
The collection of the following materials are forbidden:
- Incandescent (white, glowing, or luminous with intense heat) materials;
- flammable and explosive dusts (for example, magnesium dusts, aluminium dusts, etc.);
Can also be used as a Standard Wet & Dry Industrial Vacuum Cleaner – for non-hazardous cleaning.
(We would recommend you remove the filter bags before you do this).
The use of this device for the elimination of dusts must be performed in rooms or environments which are
sufficiently ventilated whenever the device’s exhaust returns into the environment itself. The user must
respect the current national regulations in the country in which the device is being employed.
The equipment’s end user must be read and understood for its use before beginning any work activities,
taking note of the safe usage regulations. The user must also receive instruction regarding the dangers
deriving from the aspirated materials and the methods for their safe disposal.

The device’s electrical and compressed air outlets
The electrical or pneumatic outlets of the devices are to be used by single power tools that are being used
in conjunction with the vacuum cleaner.
Ensure that the power tool is correctly connected and that the power requirement is no larger than the
limitations of the vacuum cleaner.
Before connecting the power tool, ensure that the vacuum power is turned off (0 = OFF). If it is a pneumatic
system, ensure that the compressed air circuit is not pressurised, connect the power tool and activate the
compressed air connection.
Never leave the vacuum’s compressed air circuit pressurised after work activities have been completed:
close the system valve upstream from the vacuum and depressurise the compressed air circuit.

8
Maintenance, cleaning and repair
Only perform the maintenance work described in this booklet on the equipment. In case of uncertainty,
contact the dealer or an authorized service centre.
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations upon the device, remove both the electrical
and compressed air power supply cables. Treat the device in a responsible manner so as to avoid creating
situations which could be dangerous to both yourself, as well as to others.
A filtered, forced air ventilation system must be employed during maintenance activities. The user must wear
any appropriate safety accessories during such operations, especially respiratory protection. The environment
in which maintenance activities are to be performed must be decontaminated in order to prevent the
dispersion of hazardous substances into the surroundings.
When transporting the device away from or within an area that is contaminated with hazardous substances,
the external portion of the device must be vacuumed and wiped down with a cloth before sealing it in an
air-tight container.
Any parts which cannot be cleaned must be packaged in air-tight bags and/or disposed of in compliance
with the current regulations for the disposal of hazardous substances in the country of use.
The manufacturer requires that the vacuum be subjected to an annual technical inspection.
This inspection may be performed by an authorised distributor’s technician and must include the examination
of the aspiration filters, the air-tight seals, as well as the signalling components/indicators.
DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
Detailed use of the machine
ATTENTION The vacuum cleaner is suitable for extracting dry non-flammable dusts, wood dusts and any
hazardous dusts with MaK values 0.1mg/m³ ( category M dust ). Based on the hazards presented by the
dusts to be aspirated, the vacuum must be equipped with appropriate filters: see the following sections.
For the Pneumatic System:
The device is designed to function at pressures ranging from a minimum of 4 bar to a maximum of 15 bar.
Below 4 bar, the device’s automatic start-up function is not guaranteed.
Never exceed the 15 bar pressure limit.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the device, check that:
No foreign elements are present within the container.
Ensure that the head if fastened down with the head clips. This guarantees an air-tight seal.
The relevant filters and bag have been installed. The bag is equipped with a membrane seal which must
be fitted over the internal slot of the tank intake. It also has a complete orifice seal tag which must be
applied once the used bag is removed from the tank intake for safe disposal. This is important to ensure
that the contained dust does not escape.
The hose is correctly connected to the tank.
the machine is connected to the correct electrical supply.
Vacuum assembly and testing
Before beginning to vacuum dusts with MaK values, check that the filters fit properly within
the device and that they are positioned correctly.
Initial working phase check

9
Once the vacuum has been activated, block the aspiration tube and check whether an acoustic signal
sounds. The acoustic signal is activated when the speed of the air within the tube falls below 20m/sec.
This must be calibrated.
In normal usage conditions, the acoustic signal turns on to signal a reduction in pressure / air flow. Once
this sounds the filter must be cleaned and the bag must be replaced. The scientific health reason is that
dangerous dust does not remain airborne once air velocity drops below 20m/sec.
USE OF THE DEVICE
ATTENTION The aspiration of flammable dusts/substances is forbidden.
The sector’s reference standard, EN 60335-2-69/A1:2004, lists the dusts which present a risk of explosion when
brought into contact with ignition sources.
A filter bag must always be inserted into the container when the device is to be employed for vacuuming
dry substances with MaK values.
For innocuous dusts, a lower-performance paper filter bag is also available.
FILTER BAG REFERENCE TABLE:
ATTENTION
The dust collection bag must not be filled past ¾ of their capacities. Check periodically during use.
Do not vacuum liquids or particularly humid substances while the bag filters are installed.
END OF WORK ACTIVITIES
After hazardous dusts have been vacuumed, the user must open the vacuum.
Disconnect the device’s power supply by removing its electrical plug from the outlet.
Empty the container and clean the vacuum.
Store the vacuum in a safe place where it cannot be accessed by unauthorised personnel.
MAINTENANCE: FILTER REMOVAL
ATTENTION
Be careful to not stir up dusts when performing cleaning operations, filter checks or filter
replacements. Use a protective mask. Or a V-TUF filter cleaning box.
Replacing the filter bag
Undo the head clips and remove the head.
