WARNINGS
Safety and accident prevention instructions
The machine must only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
The machine must be located indoor in a dry and well-ventilated area where air is
changed at least once an hour with 50% of the total fresh air without the aid of
special ventilation systems.
The temperature of the work area must be between 10°C and 35°C with humidity
between 50% and 90%.
Always unplug the machine when not in use, before maintenance or cleaning and
before replacing the dust bag or filter.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil and sharp corners.
In the event of a blackout, turn the switch of the connected tool to the OFF position to
avoid it from accidentally starting when power returns.
Do not expose the machine to rain.
Do not overload the arm with weights or utensils not belonging to it; it can sup-
port at most two polishing tools.
Do not use the arm as a hoist for moving weights.
Warning! - Explosion or fire hazard
- Do not vacuum flammable or explosive dust (i.e. magnesium, aluminium, asbe-
stos, etc.);
- do not vacuum flammable or explosive liquids (i.e. petrol, thinners, etc.);
- do not vacuum aggressive liquids or substances (i.e. acids , bases, solvents,
etc.);
- do not vacuum sanding dust from surfaces treated with paints that have not
completed the catalyst cycle;
- use the fire alarm system and leave the area in the event of fire.
Specific use
The machine is to be considered a centralised vacuum unit connected, by a per-
manent hose, to a RUPES vacuum turbine.
The machine is high stress qualified for industrial applications according to regu-
lations
EN60439-1.
