mediately and empty the container. Otherwise, the va-
cuum cleaner can become damaged.
NOTE: The vacuum cleaner must only be stored in-
u
doors.
NOTE: Clean the liquid fill level sensors regularly and
u
check whether they are damaged. Otherwise, the
equipment may not function properly.
If operating the vacuum cleaner in a damp location is
u
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD). Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Always check the vacuum cleaner, cable and plug be-
u
fore use. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if you dis-
cover any damage. Do not open the vacuum cleaner
yourself. It should be repaired exclusively by a quali-
fied professional using only genuine spare parts. Dam-
aged vacuum cleaners, cables and plugs increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not crush the cable or run the device over it. Do not
u
pull on the power cable to pull the plug out of the
socket or to move the vacuum cleaner. Damaged
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or per-
u
forming maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making
tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting
away the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents
the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
u
The vacuum cleaner should be repaired exclusively by
u
a qualified professional using only genuine spare
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the vacuum
cleaner is maintained.
If the dust extractor is being used in areas containing
u
hazardous substances, then vacuum, wipe or seal the
outside of the dust extractor before taking it out of
the hazardous area. All parts of the dust extractor are
deemed contaminated and you must ensure appropriate
measures are taken to prevent the hazardous substances
from spreading.
The dust extractor contains dust
WARNING
particles that pose a risk to health.
Emptying and maintenance procedures, including the
disposal of dust containers, should only be carried out by
professionals. Suitable protective equipment is re-
quired. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner unless the
complete filter system is correctly inserted. Otherwise,
you are putting your health at risk.
Before using the equipment for the first time, check
u
that the vacuum hose is in perfect condition. Leave
the vacuum hose fitted to the vacuum cleaner while
doing this so that no dust escapes accidentally. Other-
wise, you may end up inhaling dust particles.
Do not sit on the vacuum cleaner. You can damage the
u
vacuum cleaner this way.
Take care when using the power cable and the vacuum
u
hose. Improper use of these can put other people at risk.

Do not clean the vacuum cleaner by spraying a jet of
u
water directly at it. Water entering the top of the va-
cuum cleaner will increase the risk of electric shock.
Connect the dust extractor to a properly earthed
u
power supply system. The plug socket and extension
cable must have a fully functioning protective conductor.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Do not use the socket on the vacuum cleaner when
u
wet vacuuming or in the humid condition. Contact with
water poses a risk of short circuit or electric shock.
