Safety instructions

DANGER

• When the outgoing air is carried back into the room, a sufficient ventilation rate L in the room must be ensured. To comply with the required limit values the carried back volume flow must be 50% of the fresh air volume flow (room volume VR x ventilation rate LW) at maximum. Without a specific ventilation system the following applies: LW=1h –1 .
• Only persons trained in the use of the machine and the handling of substances for which the machine is to be used including training in the safe disposal of the sucked-in material may use the machine.
• This appliance contains harmful dust. Evacuation and maintenance work, including the disposal of the dust collection containers, may only be performed by specialists who wear the appropriate protective equipment.
• Do not use the appliance without the complete filtering system.
• Please follow the safety regulations applicable to the materials that are to be treated.

Start up

WARNING
Do not vacuum without the filter elements; otherwise, the suction motor can get damaged and this can be hazardous to health on account of increased release of fine dust particles.
Bring the appliance to working position – secure it, if required, with parking brakes.
Insert the suction hose (not included) into the suction hose connection.
Check the fill level in the dirt container prior to starting work and empty the container if necessary.
Ensure that the dirt container has been inserted properly.
Attach the desired accessories (not included).
Automatic monitoring of suction capacity
The machine is equipped with a suction power monitor. The control lamp lights up if the air speed in the suction hose falls below 20 m/s./’
Note: The control lamp can light up occasionally during normal operation (e.g., while working with a floor nozzle), if the air volume comes down (cross-sectional re- Automatic monitoring of suction capacity duction) causing a low pressure.
Note: There is no defect in this case; only an indication that, as specified above, the air volume has reduced and the low pressure has increased.
Anti-static system
Static charge is deflected by providing earthing to the connection nozzles. This prevents the formation of sparks and current shocks due to attachments (option) with electrical conductivity.

Operation

CAUTION
The flat pleated filter must always be in place while vacuuming.
Close the suction connection
WARNING
Health risk on account of fine dust! If the suction hose is removed, the suction connection must be closed.
Illustration A
Properly insert the connection socket in the suction connection.
Push in the connection socket until it locks into place.
Turn the suction connection with the connection socket to the right to close it tightly.
Note: The accurate fit is ensured by means of a “bayonet connection”.
Dirt receptacle
Note: The dirt container needs to be emptied if it is full until about 3 cm below the upper rim.

• Check the fill level of the dirt container at regular intervals, as the appliance does not shut off automatically.

Dry vacuum cleaning

• The device is equipped with a dust bag, order no. 9.989-607.0 (5 pieces).

Note: You can use this appliance to take up all types of dust up to dust class M. It is statutorily necessary to use a dust collection bag (see Filter systems for order number). Note:The appliance is suited as industrial vacuum cleaner to take up dry, non-combustible dusts with MAK values greater than or equal to 0.1 mg/m 3 .
CAUTION
Please note the following when switching from wet to dry vacuum cleaning: If you vacuum dry dust while the filter element is still wet the filter will become obstructed and may be damaged beyond repair.
Dry the wet filter properly before use or replace it with a dry one.
Change the filter, if required, according to instructions under the section “Maintenance and Care”.
