asbestos, some types of metals and woods. Do not vacuum
flammable and/or explosive substances, such as acids, al-
cohol, solvents, gas or oil. Do not vacuum burning materials,
hot ash, molten or hot liquids or any other material with a

STARTING UP
When choosing where to use the electrical vacuum cleaner, the
following should be considered:
- that the place is not damp and is protected from the elements.
- that there should be a large operational area free from obstacles.
- that there needs to be good lighting.
- that there is sufficient air exchange.
- that it needs to be used close to the general differential switch.
- Check that the power supply is in compliance with the regu-
lations in force..
- that the room temperature should be between 10° and 35°C.
- that the environment is not in an explosive atmosphere.
The machine may be supplied with some loose components.
Take the machine and the loose components out of the packaging
and proceed to assemble them as shown in fig. A-C.
FILTER ASSEMBLY (fig. C).
