ating errors and injuries.
Children or persons that, owing to their
physical, sensory or mental limitations or to
their lack of experience or knowledge, are
not capable of securely operating the vacu-
um cleaner, may only use this vacuum
cleaner under supervision or after having
been instructed by a responsible person.
Otherwise, there is danger of operating er-
rors and injuries.
The vacuum cleaner is suitable
WARNING
for vacuuming dry materials
and, by taking suitable measures, also for vac-
uuming liquids. The penetration of liquids in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Do not vacuum inflammable or explosive
fluids; for example, benzene, oil, alcohol,
solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning
dust. Do not operate the machine in rooms
where the danger of an explosion exists.

be used and stored indoors.
The penetration of rain or moisture into the vac-
uum cleaner lid increases the risk of an electric
shock.
Clean the float at regular inter-
WARNING
vals, and check it for damage.
Otherwise, its function can be impaired
(see Fig. 14, page 179).
When operating the vacuum cleaner in
damp environments, use a residual current
device (RCD). Using a residual current de-
vice (RCD) reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
Connect the vacuum cleaner to a properly
earthed mains supply. The socket outlet and
the extension cable must have an operative
protective conductor.
Before each use, check the vacuum cleaner,
cable and plug. Do not use the vacuum
cleaner when defects are detected. Do not
open the vacuum cleaner yourself and have
it repaired only by qualified personnel us-
ing original spare parts. Damaged vacuum
cleaner, cables and plugs increase the risk of
an electric shock.
Do not drive over, crush or stretch the ca-
ble. Do not pull the cable to unplug the plug
from the socket outlet or to move the vacu-
um cleaner. Damaged cablesincrease the
risk of an electric shock.
During work breaks, when not in use or
when working on the machine (e. g. chang-
ing tool inserts, repairs, cleaning, adjust-
ments), pull the mains plug. This safety
measure prevents accidental starting of the
vacuum cleaner.
Provide for good ventilation at the working
place.
Supervise children. This will ensure that
children do not play with the vacuum clean-
er.
Have the vacuum cleaner repaired only
through qualified specialists and only using
original spare parts. This ensures that the
safety of your vacuum cleaner is maintained.
