IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Basic safety precautions must be followed when using
any electrical equipment.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING THIS
MACHINE
WARNING! - To minimise the risk of electrocution or injury:
a) Never leave the machine unsupervised when connected to the mains power
supply. Disconnect the machine from the mains power socket after use or befo-
re performing maintenance.
b) Never allow the machine to be used as a toy. Be extremely vigilant whenever
the machine is operated by or near children.
c) Only use the machine as instructed in this manual. Only use the accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
d) Do not use the machine if the power cable or plug is damaged. If the machine
does not function as it should or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
has fallen in water, have it checked and repaired by a specialist service centre.
e) Do not move or transport the machine by pulling on its power cable. Do not
use the power cable as a handle, close doors on it or pull it over sharp objects
or corners. Do not run over the power cable with the machine. Keep the power
cable well clear of hot surfaces.
f) Do not disconnect the machine by pulling on the power cable. Grip the plug,
not the cable, to disconnect the machine.
g) Never touch a mains powered machine with wet hands.
h) Do not insert objects into the ventilation slots. Do not operate the machine
7
EN
with blocked ventilation slots. Remove all dust, dirt, hair and debris that might

petrol, and do not operate the machine in areas where such liquids may be
present.
The machine must not be used for purposes other than those for which it was
expressly designed.
Scrupulously respect all safety standards and conditions applicable to the type
of building in which the machine is to be operated (e.g.: pharmaceutical compa-
nies, hospitals, chemicals, etc.).
Do not operate the machine in inadequate lighting, explosive atmospheres, on
SXEOLFURDGVRUWRFOHDQGLUWWKDWLVKD]DUGRXVWRKHDOWKGXVWJDVHWF
The machine must be kept indoors at all times.

The machine must be used at an altitude below 2000 m.
The machine is designed to operate at relative humidity levels between 0% and
95%.

have demonstrated their ability and have been expressly authorised to use it.
The machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowl-
edge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety and
have received instruction in the use of the machine.

relative safety sheet.
We recommend keeping detergents out of reach of children. In the event of con-
tact with the eyes, wash immediately with abundant water. If ingested, consult
a doctor immediately.
Numerous unpleasant experiences have shown that a wide range of personal
objects may cause serious accidents. Before beginning work, remove jewellery,
8
EN
watches, ties, etc.
The operator must always use personal protection devices: protective apron or
overalls, non-slip waterproof shoes, rubber gloves, protective goggles and ear
protectors and mask to protect the respiratory tract.
Do not pick up burning or smoking material like cigarettes, matches or hot ash-
es.
Never operate the machine on slopes or ramps of more than 2%. Never drive
across even gentle slopes. Always manoeuvre with care and avoid reversing.
If you need to transport the machine over ramps or steep slopes, to prevent it
tipping over or running out of control, completely empty the detergent and dirty
water tanks and remove the batteries.
Never park the machine on a slope.
Never leave the machine unattended while switched on. Before leaving it, dis-
connect the machine from the mains power supply and make sure it cannot
move accidentally.
Never use the machine to transport people or goods or to tow things. Do not
tow the machine.
Never rest objects of any weight on the machine for any reason.
Do not remove, modify or bypass safety devices (brush guards, battery covers,
fuses, electric system covers, etc.).
Always check the condition of the brush guard before operating the machine. If
any damage is found, do not operate the machine but have the guard replaced
by personnel trained and authorised by the manufacturer.
Never touch the brush unless the machine is disconnected from the power sup-
ply.

Never wash the machine with water jets.
Make sure the electrical characteristics of the machine (voltage, frequency,
power) given on the nameplate correspond to those of the mains electricity
supply.
Make sure the power sockets used for mains powered models and battery
chargers are properly earthed and protected by a 2-pole thermal magnetic

This equipment must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or failure, the
earth connection provides the path of least resistance for electrical current, min-
imising the risk of electrocution.
Mains powered versions come with a three-wire cable and a three-pin earthed
plug for use in a suitable earthed socket. The earth wire is yellow and green.
Never connect this wire to anything other than the earth terminal of the socket.
The plug must be plugged into a suitable socket, correctly installed and wired
according to local standards.

When operating mains powered versions, to avoid the risk of electrocution, use
only the extension supplied with the machine.
When using mains powered versions, take care to prevent the rotating brush
from coming into contact with the power cable.

WKHFOLSRQWKHPDFKLQH¶VKDQGOHDVVKRZQ¿J1.
When operating mains powered versions, periodically examine the mains cable
and extension. If any damage is detected, do not use the machine and refer
the necessary repairs to personnel trained and authorised by the manufacturer.
Battery charger: check the power cable regularly for damage. In the event of
damage, do not use the machine. Have the cable replaced by personnel trained
and authorised by the manufacturer.
Use only the battery charger supplied with the machine to recharge the batter-
ies.

ŹAlways keep the batteries clean and dry to avoid surface leakage cur-
rents.
ŹProtect the batteries from impurities such as metal dust.
ŹNever rest metal tools on batteries as they could cause short circuits and

lead to explosions.
ŹNever wear metal rings or bracelets when working on batteries.

DGGZDWHURUDFLGWRWKHFHOOVLQVLGH
ŹWhen using acid for leak-proof tubular batteries, always follow the safety
instructions scrupulously.
ŹThe electrolyte contained in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution and
is highly corrosive.
ŹIn the event of contact with the eyes, wash immediately with plenty
of water and seek medical advice
ŹIn the event of contact with the skin or clothing, wash with plenty of
water.
ŹStore out of the reach of children.
ŹUse suitable gloves and protect the eyes and face.
ŹMake sure that the area is well ventilated before recharging batter-
ies.
All maintenance operations must be performed in an adequately lit place and
only after disconnecting the machine from the power supply. With mains pow-
ered models, unplug the machine from the mains power socket. With battery
models, remove the fuse from the battery bridge. With mains powered models,
the operator must always be in a position to verify that the plug remains un-
plugged from the mains power socket throughout maintenance operations.
All work on the electrical system and all maintenance and repair op-
erations other than those explicitly described in this manual must be
performed by personnel trained and authorised by the manufacturer.
If the power cable, plug or terminals require replacing, make sure the electrical
connections and cable grip are tightly fastened to guarantee the resistance of
the cable if pulled.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE.
