attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference!
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate vacuum cleaners in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Vacuum cleaners create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a vacuum cleaner. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
Read all safety warnings and
a) Vacuum cleaners plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) vacuum
cleaners. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Protect the vacuum cleaner from rain or damp
conditions. Do not immerse the cleaner or spray it
with a jet of water. Improper use can lead to
electrical shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the vacuum cleaner.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a vacuum cleaner outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating a vacuum cleaner in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use a vacuum cleaner while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating vacuum
cleaner may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental operation. Check that the
vacuum cleaner (or any connected power tool) is
switched off before lifting it, carrying it or connecting
it to the power supply. Accidents may occur if you
connect the vacuum cleaner or an active power tool
(when switched on) to the power supply.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the vacuum cleaner in unexpected situations.
e) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves at
a safe distance from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewelry or long hair could catch in the suction hose
or suction nozzle.
4) Vacuum cleaner use and care
a) Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any vacuum cleaner that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
