1. Keep your work area clean: Cluttered work areas and workbenches are a source of injury.
2. The vacuum cleaner should be properly assem­bled before use.
3. Use only extension cords approved for outdoor use (when the vacuum is used outside) and make sure that they are always in good condition.
4. Protect the electric cables and, in particular, make sure that they are not crushed, pulled, or damaged by edges, sharp pieces, or moving parts; or damaged by corrosive liquids.
5. Do not use a damaged extension cord. Do not make any permanent or temporary repairs to the cable itself.
6. Do not use a vacuum cleaner that has a dam­aged electric cord. Have a new cable installed by an authorized service center.
7. Do not attach anything else to the socket, elec­tric cords, or extension cord.
8. Before plugging your vacuum cleaner into the electrical outlet, make sure that the voltage and the outlet requirements match what is indicated on the label next to the cord.
9. Do not pull the device by the cord.
10. Your machine should always be turned off before unplugging it from the outlet or the extension cord.
11. Before leaving the device unsupervised (even for a brief time) turn it off and unplug it from the electrical outlet. This should also be done if there is a loss of power.
12. Do not underestimate its power. Always maintain a balanced and stable stance.
13. Keep children and pets away from the machine. When the machine is operating, everyone should stay at a safe distance.
14. The device should not be used by children or by persons who are not familiar with the device or who have not read this instruction manual.
15. The user of the device is responsible for the safety of others while using it.
16. The vacuum should only be used for its intended purposes.
17. Before performing any maintenance, adjust­ment or cleaning procedures on the vacuum cleaner, turn it off, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and wait for the motor to stop.

20. When using the machine, it should be kept steady and on a stable surface or supported by the body.
21. Only work in full daylight or with appropriate artificial light.
22. We recommend using some type of hearing protection for your ears.
23. If the machine vibrates abnormally, stop the motor and look for the cause immediately. Vibrations usually mean a problem.
24. The vacuum cleaner should be properly checked before each use. Do not use a machine that is not in perfect condition. If you notice a problem that could constitute a danger to the user, have the machine repaired before using it.
25. For safety reasons, replace worn or damaged parts. Use only manufacturer-approved replace­ment parts. Parts from sources other than the manufacturer may not fit properly or may be dangerous or cause injuries. The power cord can only be replaced by specialized customer service centers.
26. Only use the vacuum cleaner in areas that are dry and protected from bad weather. Do not use it outside when it is raining.
27. Store the vacuum in a dry place, out of the reach of children.
28. Do not leave the power cord lying around once cleanup is done; someone could trip.
29. Take care when emptying extremely heavy tanks.
30. To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty the tank after every use.
31. Do not use this machine to vacuum up flamma­ble or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, photocopier powder, or volatile substances; and do not use the machine in areas where these liquids are present. Do not vacuum up acids.
32. Do not vacuum up any materials that are toxic, cancer-causing, combustible, or any other dangerous materials, such as asbestos, asbestos dust, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides, or any other substances hazardous to your health.
33. Extreme caution should be used when vacuum­ing up wood or charcoal ashes, soot, cement, plaster, or plasterboard dust. These particles are extremely fine and can pass through the filters affecting the motor’s performance or be blown into the air.
34. Do not vacuum up anything that is burning or smoldering, such as cigarettes, cigarette butts, matches, or hot ashes.
35. Never vacuum up saltwater; it may destroy the motor.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR VACUUMING ASHES

• The vacuum cleaner must not be used for the separation of hazardous substances.
• Do not vacuum up soot!
• Only vacuum up the ash of permitted fuels!
• Do not vacuum up hot or burning objects or embers (e.g. cigarettes, charcoal, ashes, etc.). The temperature of the material must be below 40°C.
• Caution! If the temperature of the material exceeds 40°C, there is a risk of fire.
• Attention! Material that appears to have cooled down from the outside may still be very hot inside. This can be determined by combing the ashes with a metal tool before using the device. There will no longer be noticeable heat radiat­ing from the cold ash.
• Hot ash particles may ignite again in the airflow.
• Temperatures exceeding 40°C may damage the vacuum cleaner, the hoses and the filter.
• Please make sure that the oven is cold before you vacuum clean ovens.
• Continuously check tubes, filters, and vacuum cleaners for excessive temperatures during the vacuum cleaning.
• f you notice a temperature rise, switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately. Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the mains and remove the filter. Remove the material from the filter. Let the vacuum cleaner cool down under supervision.
• Completely empty the vacuum cleaner after vacuuming.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR BLOWING

• Direct air discharge at work area only. Never at people or animals.
• Risk of flying objects. Keep bystanders away from the work area.
• Always wear safety goggles before using the blowing function.

Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate label. Class II machine – Double insulation – You don’t need any earthed plug. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
