Risks
Electrical components
DANGER
The upper section of the machine contains live components. Contact with live
components leads to serious or even fatal injuries. Never spray water on to
the upper section of the machine.
Electric shock due to faulty mains connecting lead. Touching a faulty mains connecting lead can result in serious or even fatal injuries.
- Do not damage the mains power lead (e.g. by driving over it, pulling or crushing it).
- Regularly check whether the power cord is damaged or shows signs of ageing.
- If the electric cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized Mirka distributor or similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Hazardous dust
WARNING
Hazardous materials. Vacuuming up hazardous materials can lead to serious or
even fatal injuries. The following materials must not be picked up by the
machine:
- hot materials (burning cigarettes, hot ash, etc.)
- flammable, explosive, corrosive liquids (e.g. petrol, solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.)
- flammable, explosive dust (e.g. magnesium or aluminium dust, etc.)
In explosive or inflammable atmosphere
CAUTION
This machine is not suitable for use in explosive or inflammable atmospheres or
where such atmospheres are likely to be produced by the presence of volatile
liquid or inflammable gas or vapour.
Before start-up (A)
The fleece filter bag is pre-installed in the dust extractor.
Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage
of the local mains power supply. It is recommended that the dust extractor
should be connected via a residual current circuit breaker.
Inspect power cord regularly to detect signs of damage, e.g. cracks or ageing.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Mirka service center or
an electrician to avoid danger before use of the dust extractor is continued.
Use only the type of power cord specified in the operating manual.
As an extension lead, only use the version specified by the manufacturer or one
of a higher quality. When using an extension lead, check the minimum cross-
sections of the cable:

As an extension lead, only use the version specified by the manufacturer or one of a higher quality. When using an extension lead, check the minimum cross- sections of the cable:
| Cable length | Cross section < 16 A | Cross section < 25 A |
|---|---|---|
| < 20 m | 1 5 mm² | 2 5 mm² |
| 20–50 m | 2 5 mm² | 4 0 mm² |
Only use the dust extractor if it is in undamaged condition. Never use the dust extractor without a filter, or if the filter is damaged. It is recommended always to use filter bag for dry applications.
When dust extractors are used, the rate at which air is exchanged in the room must be adequate if the exhaust air from the dust extractor is blown into the room (please observe regulations valid in your country).
Before starting work, the operating staff must be informed on
- use of the dust extractor
- risks associated with the material to be picked up

Operation (A)
| Mirka® Dust Extractor 1025 L | Switch position | Function |
|---|---|---|
| I | On | |
| 0 | Off | |
| AUTO | Auto on/off |
Appliance socket
An earthed appliance socket is integrated in the machine. An external power
tool can be connected there. The socket features permanent power on when the
switch is set to the AUTO position. Australia: The socket has a 5 Amp thermal
circuit breaker to protect the machine against overload. If the power
consumption gets too high the thermal circuit breaker activates and cut off the
power on the socket outlet. The thermal circuit breaker can be reset again by
pressing its reset button.
Picking up liquids (B)
Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag. Check that the float
works properly. If foam develops or liquid emerges, stop work immediately and
empty the dirt tank.
Cleaning the filter element (C)
If suction performance drops:
- Switching on the dust extractor
- Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm of your hand.
- Press the button to start filter cleaning for at least three times for two seconds each. The resulting stream of air removes attached dust from the slats of the filter elements.
- If the suction power is too low after filter cleaning: replace filter.
Connecting electrical machines (D)
Use the socket on the dust extractor for the purpose defined in the operating
instructions only.
CAUTION! Follow the operating instructions and safety instructions for
machines connected to the power tool socket.
Before plugging a machine into the dust extractor socket:
- Switch off the dust extractor.
- Switch off the machine to be connected.
Maintenance, cleaning and repair (E+F)
Only carry out maintenance work described in the operating instructions.
Always pull out the mains plug before clean-ing and maintenance of the dust
extractor. Never spray water on to the upper section of the dust extractor.
Danger for persons, risk or short-circuiting.
The use of non-genuine spare parts and accessories can impair the safety of
the dust extractor. Only use spare parts and accessories supplied by Mirka
Ltd.
During maintenance and cleaning, handle the dust extractor in such a manner
that there is no danger for maintenance staff or other persons.
In the maintenance area
