HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE

When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.

Read the instruction manual fully

Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood this manual. Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.

Keep the work area tidy and clean

Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.

Find a suitable location

If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.

Beware of electric shock

Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct electricity if there is an electrical fault with the power tool. Always protect the power cable and route it away from danger.

Keep bystanders away

Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.

Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use

A power tool should never be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and from children. Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.

Dress properly

Loose clothing, long hair, and jewelry are all dangerous because they can become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine. Clothing should be close-fitted, with any long hair tied back and jewelry and neckties removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.

Wear personal protective equipment (PPE)

Dust, noise, vibration, and swarf can all be dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected against. Wear vibration-reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions; however, always find out what hazards are associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.

Do not breathe contaminated air

If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine (if possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.

Move the machine as instructed

If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply cable.
If the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.

Do not overreach

Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.

Maintain your tools correctly

A well-maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable; keep blades sharp; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and emergency devices working.

Wait for the machine to stop

Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then unplug it from the power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.

Remove and check setting tools

Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.

Prevent unintentional starting

Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near the switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate the switch.

Carefully select an extension lead

Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors; use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.

Concentrate and stay alert

Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.

Have this tool repaired by a qualified person

This tool is designed to confirm to the relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure the tool remains safe to use.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible with the power supply you intend to connect it to. These vacuum cleaners come supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed for connection to a domestic power supply rated at 230V AC. Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this product.

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Do not open

This appliance is supplied with a moulded 3 pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BS Kite marked. ASTA BSI The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type. If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician. The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable shall be disabled to prevent connection to a live electrical outlet.

UNPACKING & CHECKING

PACKING

PREPARING THE VACUUM CLEANER

Placing it beneath the motor, the cloth filter 16 must now be fitted by pushing it on.

ATTACHING THE PAPER DUSTBAG – FIG. 4

Fix the paper dustbag 9 to the inner side of the hose connector in the tank as shown. When using the paper dust bag, dirt can be removed more hygienically. Note: As suction power decreases, replace the paper dustbag with a new one.

CHANGING SETUP FROM DRY TO WET VACUUMING – FIG. 9

Empty the tank and dispose of any dirt/dust which may have been picked up previously. Remove the cloth filter if fitted. Now fit the foam filter 15. This slides over the float cage as shown. NEVER VACUUM DRY DUST AND DIRT WITH THIS FILTER FITTED AS IT WILL PROVIDE LITTLE OR NO PROTECTION RESULTING IN MOTOR DAMAGE.Refit the motor housing by securing with the two retaining clips.

WATER LEVEL – FIG. 10

Note: The crevice nozzle should be used when the water level is too high to use an attachment. To ensure the airflow is adequate, we recommend that the end of the nozzle is not totally immersed. When the fluids have reached the highest permittable level in the tank, the float regulator 4.1 will cover the motor air inlet causing the motor to work harder, it will become noisier, at this point turn off and empty the tank.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity for maintenance operations and will keep your tools in good working condition. The motor must be correctly ventilated during the tools operation. For this reason avoid blocking the air inlets. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
