CONTROL / OPERATION

CAUTION!
Damage due to unsuitable mains voltage.
The appliance can be damaged as a result of being connected to an unsuitable mains voltage.

• Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.

Starting and operating of the machine
Check that the electrical switch is switched off (in position 0). Check that suitable filters are installed in the machine. Then connect the suction hose into the suction inlet at the machine by pushing the hose forward until it fits firmly in place at the inlet. Then connect the tubes with the hose handle, twist the tubes in order to ensure that they are properly fitted. Attach suitable nozzle to the tube. Choose nozzle depending on what type of material that is to be picked-up. If used for dust extraction in connection
with dust producing tool then connect end of suction hose with appropriate adapter. Connect the plug into a proper electrical outlet. Put the electrical switch into position I in order to start the motor.

Auto-On/Off socket outlet for power tools
CAUTION!
Appliance socket.
The appliance socket is designed for electrical auxiliary equipment; see technical data for reference.

• Prior to plugging in an appliance, always switch off the machine and the appliance that is to be connected.
• Read the operating instructions to the appliance to be connected and observe the safety notes contained in these.
• An appliance socket with earthing contact is integrated in the machine. An external power tool can be connected there. The socket features permanent power on, when the electrical switch is in position , i.e. the machine can be used as an extension cord.
• In position the machine can be switched on and off by the  power tool connected. Dirt is picked up from the source of dust immediately. To comply with regulations, only approved dust producing tools should be connected.
• The maximum power consumption of the connected electrical appliance is stated in section “Specifi cations”.
• If the maximum power rating for the socket is exceeded, an external fuse will switch off the socket.
• Before turning the switch to position ensure that the tool  connected to the appliance socket is switched off .

Auto-Clear
The “IC” machine is equipped with an automatic fi lter cleaning system, Auto- Clear. A frequent cleaning cycle will automatically run during operation to ensure that suction performance is always at its best.
If suction performance decreases or in extensive dust applications a manually filter cleaning operation is recommended:-

Switch off the machine

• Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm of your hand.
• Turn the switch to position „I“ and let the machine operate at full speed for approx. 10 seconds with the suction hose opening closed.

If suction power is still reduced take out the filter and clean mechanically or replace filter.
For certain applications, like wet pick up, it is recommended to turn off the automatic filter cleaning system. For details see chapter Starting and operating of the machine.

Antistatic connection
CAUTION
The machine is equipped with an antistatic system to discharge any static electricity that may develop during dust pick-up.
The antistatic system is placed in front part of the motor top and creates an earth ground connection to the inlet fi tting of the container. For proper function the use of an electrical conductive or antistatic suction hose is recommended. When inserting the optional disposal bag make sure the antistatic connection is kept.

Cooling air fi lter
To protect the electronics and motor, the machine is equipped with a cooling air diff usor. Clean the cooling air diff usor regularly.
For areas with a high concentration of fi ne dust in the surrounding air it is recommended to equip the machine with an optional cooling air filter cartridge to prevent dust from settling inside the air channels and motor. Contact your local sales representative.

CAUTION!
If cooling air filter is clogged by dust the overload protection switch in the motor can be activated. In such case switch off the machine, clean cooling air filter and allow machine to cool for approx. 5 minutes.

Wet pick-up
CAUTION!
The machine is equipped with a water level limit system which shuts off the machine when the maximum liquid level is reached.
When this occurs, switch off the machine. Disconnect the machine from the socket and empty the container. Never pick up liquids without the water level limit system and filter in place.

Picking up liquids.

• Do not pick up flammable liquids
• Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag/waste bag and check that the water level limit works properly.
• If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the tank.
• Clean the water level limiting device regularly and check for signs of damage.

Before emptying the container, unplug the machine. Disconnect the hose from the inlet by pulling out the hose. Release the latch by pulling them outwards so that the motor top is released. Lift up the motor top from container. Always empty and clean the container and water level limit system after picking-up liquids.
Empty by tilting the container backwards or sideways and pour the liquids into a floor drain or similar.
Put back the motor top to the container. Secure the motor top with the latches.
Heavy maneuvers can, by mistake, trigger the water level limiting device. Should this happen; turn off the machine and wait for 3 seconds to reset the device. Continue to operate the machine afterwards. Wet filters and interior part of the liquid container shall be dried before storage

Dry pick-up
CAUTION!
Picking up environmentally hazardous materials.
Materials picked up can present a hazard to the environment.

• Dispose of the dirt in accordance with legal regulations.

Remove the electrical plug from the socket before emptying after dry pick-up. Release the latch by pulling them outwards so that the motor top is released. Lift up the motor top from container.

Filter: Check the filters. To clean the filter you can shake, brush or wash it. Wait until the filter is dry before re-starting dust pick-up. Dust bag: check bag to ensure the fill factor. Replace dust bag if necessary. Remove the old bag. The new bag is fi tted by passing the cardboard piece with the rubber membrane through the vacuum inlet. Make sure that the rubber membrane is passing past the heightening at the vacuum inlet.

After emptying: close motor top to the container and secure the motor top with the latches. Never pick up dry material without filter fitted in the machine. The suction effi ciency of the machine depends on the size and quality of the filter and dust bag. Therefore – use only Original filter and dust bags.

AFTER USING THE MACHINE

After use
Remove the plug from the socket when machine is not in use. Wind up the cord starting from the machine. The power cord can be wound up around the motor top or at the container or placed in the included hook, or fastening means. Some variants have special storage places for accessories.

Transport

• Before transporting the machine, close all the latches.
• Do not tilt the machine if there are liquids in the dirt tank.
• Do not use a crane hook to lift the machine.
• Do not lift the machine by the trolley handle
• Storage

CAUTION!
Store the appliance in a dry place, protected from rain and frost. The machine shall be stored indoors only.

Accessory and tool storage
For convenient transport and storage of accessories or tools, integrated rails are found on side of machine which allows fastening with straps or other means. A fl exible strap and hooks are included on back of machine for attachment of suction hose or mains cable. For instruction see quick reference guide.
An optional adapter plate with attachment system can be installed on top of machine for fastening of 2-point or 4-point storage cases.
Remove the electrical plug from the socket before installing the adapter plate.

CAUTION!
Do not lift machine in adapter plate without having storage case safely installed. Note the weight and balance of the appliance in case of storage. Maximum weight of storage cases is 30 kg.
