  • Not suitable for extracting hazardous dust.

  • Risk of explosion and fire:Do not extract:
    – Sparks or hot dust;
    – combustible or explosive materials (e.g. magnesium, aluminium, petrol, diluting agents);
    – aggressive materials (e.g. acid, alkaline solutions, solvents);
    – chemically reactive materials, which lead to the generation of heat, acids/bases, gases, etc. (e.g. reactive two-component materials, aluminium and water).

  • Observe all national safety regulations as well as the material manufacturer’s speci­ fications!

  • Always use suitable protective equipment!

  • If intact following a visual inspection, work in a dry environment according to instruc­tions!
