operation of the equipment.
This chapter contains an overview of all important safety aspects.
The pictograms, signs and instructions on the appliance must be observed and
kept in readable condition.
1.1 Introduction
The appliance conforms to the current standard of technology and operational
safety.
However, dangers can arise from this appliance if it is used by not properly
trained personnel, used improperly or used for a purpose other than that
intended.
Every person, who is asked to work with or carry out work on the appliance, is
required to read the operating manual and have understood it before working
with the equipment.
Knowledge of the content of the operating manual is a prerequisite for
protecting personnel for danger and avoiding mistakes and thus ensure safe and
reliable operation of the appliance.
To avoid danger and ensure optimal performance, no modifications or changes
may be made to the equipment, unless they have been expressly approved by the
manufacturer.
All safety signs and operating instructions on the appliance must always be
kept in a clearly readable condition. Damaged or unreadable signs must be
replaced immediately.
It is the duty of the operator to report any changes in the way the appliance
works, which could affect safety, immediately to the person responsible.
1.2 Responsibility of the owner / operator
The appliance may only be used when it is in a safe condition and in perfect
working order. The owner/operator is responsible for ensuring reliable
operation of the equipment. The instructions given in the operating manual are
to be respected in full and without reservations!
The statements about the work safety refer to the directives of the European
Union, valid at the time of manufacture of the appliance. During the entire
working life of the equipment, the owner/operator is obliged to compare the
above mentioned safety protection measures with those currently in force and
heed any new rules which may have been introduced subsequently. Outside the
European Union, the work safety laws and local regulations valid where the
equipment is used must be respected.
1.3 Proper use
The unit is only to be used for cleaning dry areas and is not suitable for
removing dust which is hazardous to your health.
WARNING! Risk of injury!
Never Vacuum up the following materials:
- explosive or combustible gases, liquids and dust particles (reactive dust particles).
- reactive metal dust particles (such as aluminium, magnesium, zinc) in combination with highly alkaline or acidic detergents.
- undiluted, strong acids and alkalis.
- organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinners, acetone, heating oil).
In addition, these substances may cause the appliance materials to corrode.
Do not draw in burning or glowing objects.
Do not vacuum up people or animals.
In case of low temperatures, the unit may not be used outdoors.
ATTENTION!
Only use accessories and spare parts which have been approved by the
manufacturer. Original accessories and spare parts guarantee that the unit can
be operated safely and whiteout any breakdowns.
1.4 Work safety
Danger to persons and/or the equipment can be avoided by following the work
safety instructions.
Non-observance of these instructions can put people or objects at risk through
mechanical or electrical factors or through the equipment breaking down.
ATTENTION!
Non-observance of the safety regulations will result in the loss of any right
to claim for damage.
The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage of
the power source.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorized customer service centres or by
specialists in this field who are familiar with all relevant safety
regulations.
Switching-on procedures produce brief voltage drops. In the case of
unfavorable power source conditions, interference of other devices may arise.
ATTENTION !
When replacing couplings on the power supply cable or extension lead, the
spray water guard and mechanical stability must remain intact.
1.5 Dangers resulting from the equipment
The appliance has undergone a risk assessment. The design and layout of the
equipment resulting from this corresponds to the current state-of-the-art.
However, a certain residual risk always remains!
WARNING! Danger of electric shock!
Electricity can cause serious injuries. If the insulation or individual
components are damaged, there may be a risk of a fatal electric shock.
Therefore:
- Before working on the appliance always unplug it!
- Make sure that the mains power cable is not damaged by squeezing, jerking, chafing, etc.
- Do not drive over the mains power cable.
- Always check the mains lead for damage before plugging in the appliance.
- Before replacing cables, plugs, couplings or sockets, check for conformity with the technical data specified by the manufacturer.
Do not use a hose or high pressure water sprayer to clean the unit (danger of
short-circuit).
WARNING! Danger of electric shock!
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
1.6 Conduct in the case of danger or accidents
Where there is danger or if an accident occurs, immediately stop the appliance
by switching it off.
