Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. Where appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or work-
piece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Pro-
longed exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
Operate the vacuum cleaner only
from socket outlets with earthing
contact that are according to regula-
tions. Use only undamaged supply
cords and regularly checked exten-
sion cords with earthing contact. A
protective conductor without conti-
nuity can lead to electric shock.
The earthed connection socket dis-
charges static charges. In connec-
tion with electrostatically discharging
accessories (optional), this prevents
the formation of sparks and current
surges.
When wet vacuuming, operate the
vacuum cleaner only when the con-
tainer is level. Otherwise there is
danger of electric shock from water
penetrating into the vacuum cleaner
motor.
Do not misuse the power supply cord
to pull the vacuum cleaner around or
pull the mains plug from the socket
outlet. Keep the power supply cord
away from heat, oil sharp edges, or
moving parts. Do not drive over or
pinch the power supply cord. Dam-
aged or entangled power supply
cords increase the risk of an electric
shock.
Before replacing accessories, pull
the mains plug from the socket out-
let. This safety measure reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Do not vacuum materials that are
hazardous to one's health, e. g., dust
from beech or oak wood, masonry
dust, asbestos. These materials are
considered carcinogenic.
Provide for good ventilation of the
workplace.
Do not vacuum inflammable or explo-
sive fluids; for example, benzene, oil,
alcohol, solvents. Do not vacuum hot
or inflammable dusts. Do not operate
the vacuum cleaner in rooms where
the danger of an explosion exists.
The dusts, vapours or fluids can
ignite or explode.
Do not rivet or screw any name-
plates or designs to the vacuum
cleaner. If the insulation is damaged,
protection against an electric shock
will be ineffective. Adhesive labels
are recommended.
Do not use accessories not specifi-
cally intended or recommended for
this vacuum cleaner. Just because
the accessory can be attached to
your vacuum cleaner, it does not
assure safe operation.
Before starting operation (see page
4-7), check the power supply cord
and the mains plug for damage.
