In case of confusion regarding the power impedance present on your connection, please contact your utilities provider.

Operation

The device is suitable for vacuuming fine dust up to dust class M. Use a dust bag when vacuuming this dust class. Conventional vacuumed material (wet/dry) can be vacuumed directly into the vacuum cleaner waste container without a dust bag. After vacuuming moist or liquid substances, observe the notes in chapter “Changing from wet vacuuming to dry vacuuming”.
CAUTION Never remover the filter when vacuuming. – The device is equipped with a dust bag, order no. 9.989-607.0 (5 pieces).
Note: All types of dust up to dust class M can be vacu- umed with this device. The use of a dust collection bag (for order no., see label on the device) is required by law. 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 .

To suck wet dirt, always remove thedisposal bag.
Changeover from wet to dry vacuum cleaning
ATTENTION Please note the following when switching from wet to dry vacuum cleaning:

**WARNING** Health hazard due to fine dust. If the device has been used for wet vacuum cleaning, then the filter must be replaced. Filters that have become wet no longer fulfil the requirements for dusts that are harmful to health and may no longer be used, even if they have been dried before use.

Replace wet filters with new, dry filters (described under point “Care and maintenance”).

Turning on the Appliance
WARNING
Health hazard due to fine dust. Check that the rotation direction is correct before switching on the device. The red indicator lamp lights up if there is a rotary field fault.
