Understand the operating environment; Before each use the operator should assess, understand and where possible reduce the specific risks and dangers associated with the operating environment. Bystanders should also be made aware of any risks associated with the operating environment.

This vacuum cleaner/valeting machine is double insulated; This means the operator is separated from the tool’s electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protective insulation. Double-insulated tools do not need to be grounded (earthed). Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a suitably qualified person.

Caution:
The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that can-not be built into this product but must be applied.

GUARANTEE

The SIP vacuum cleaner / valeting machine is covered by 12-month parts and labor warranty covering failure due to manufacturers’ defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or operating the vacuum cleaner outside the scope of this manual – any claims deemed to be outside the scope of the warranty may be subject to charges Including, but not limited to parts, labor, and carriage costs.
Consumable items such as the foam filter and collection bags etc. are not covered by the warranty. In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.

Note: Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be honored.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This vacuum cleaner/valeting machine is double-insulated. This means the operator is separated from the tool’s electrical system by two complete sets of electrical insulation.

These vacuum cleaners are fitted with a standard UK-type 230v ~ plug. Before using the tool inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither is damaged. If any damage is visible have the tool inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy-duty impact- resistant plug would be preferable.

The wires for the plug are colored in the following way:

• Blue Neutral
• Brown Live

As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal marked with N or coloured black.
• The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red.
• Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully.
• Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
• Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always replace the fuse with the same value as the original.
• Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply; ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.
• Note: The cross-section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.
