Symbols on the machine

Do not suck in any ignition sources! Suitable for suction of combustible dusts of the dust explosion classes in Zone 22.

WARNING : This unit contains hazardous dust. Empty-ing and maintenance, including the removal of the dust bag, may only be carried out by someone who is famil-iar with the unit and wearing suitable protective gear. Do not switch on the unit until the complete filter sys-tem has been installed and the function of the volume-flow control has been tested.

Safety instructions

When the outgoing air is carried back into the room, a sufficient ventilation rate L in the room must be ensured. To comply with the required limit values the carried back volume flow must be 50% of the fresh air volume flow (room volume VR x ventilation rate LW) at maximum. Without a specific ventilation system, the following applies: LW=1h–1.
Only persons trained in the use of the machine and the handling of substances for which the machine is to be used including training in the safe disposal of the sucked-in material may use the machine.
This appliance contains harmful dust. Evacuation and maintenance work, including the disposal of the dust collection containers, may only be performed by specialists who wear the appropriate protective equipment.
Do not use the appliance without the complete filtering system.
Please follow the safety regulations applicable to the materials that are to be treated.
The accessories approved by the manufacturer are electrically conductive. Do not use any other acces-sories!
Vacuum only using all the filter elements; otherwise, the suction motor can get damaged and this can be hazardous to health on account of increased release of fine dust particles!
Please follow the safety regulations applicable to the materials to be sucked in. During proper/improper operation parts of the appliance can reach temperatures of up to 125 °C.
You are not allowed to use an extension cable.

Start up

WARNING

Do not vacuum without the filter elements; otherwise, the suction motor can get damaged and this can be hazardous to health on account of increased release of fine dust particles.

Note : Additional regulations can be applicable to dusts with an ignition capacity below 1mJ

Bring the appliance to working position – secure it, if required, with parking brakes.
Insert the suction hose (not included) into the suc-tion hose connection.
Check the fill level in the dirt container prior to starting work and empty the container if necessary.
Ensure that the dirt container has been inserted properly. Spring bows must be clean and lie flat against the dirt container. Clean the spring bow with a moist cloth, as necessary.
Attach the desired accessories (not included).

Automatic monitoring of suction capacity

The machine is equipped with a suction power monitor. The control lamp “Vacuum pressure” lights up red if the air speed in the suction hose falls below 20 m/s (see “Assistance in case of malfunctions”).

Note : The control lamp “negative pressure” can occasionally light up red during normal operation (e.g., while working with a floor nozzle), if the air volume comes down (cross-sectional reduction) causing a lower pres-sure.
Note : There is no defect in this case; only an indication that, as specified above, the air volume has reduced and the low pressure has increased.

Anti-static system

Static charge is deflected by providing earthing to the connection nozzles.
This way, the electrically conductive accessories approved by the manufacturer prevent the formation of sparks and current surges.

Operation

WARNING

The two flat fold filters must never be removed during vacuuming.

ATTENTION

Risk of damage! Do not cover the supply and exhaust air openings on the suction head.

Close the suction connection

WARNING

Health risk on account of fine dust! If the suction hose is removed, the suction connection must be closed.

Illustration A

Properly insert the connection socket in the suction connection.
Push in the connection socket until it locks into place.

Dirt receptacle

Note : The dirt container needs to be emptied if it is filled until about 3 cm below the upper rim or after every use.

Check the fill level of the dirt container at regular intervals, as the appliance does not shut off automatically.

Dry vacuum cleaning

The device is equipped with a dust bag, order no. 9.989-606.0 (5 pieces).

Note : You can use this appliance to take up all types of dust up to dust class M. It is statutorily necessary to use a dust collection bag (see Filter systems for order number). Note: The appliance is suited for sucking in dry, combustible dusts with MAK values greater than or equal to 0.1 mg/m3.

The changeover from wet to dry vacuum cleaning

ATTENTION

Please note the following when switching from wet to dry vacuum cleaning:
If you vacuum dry dust while the filter element is still wet the filter will become obstructed and may be damaged beyond repair.

Dry the wet filter properly before use or replace it with a dry one.
Change the filter, if required, according to instruc-tions under the section “Maintenance and Care”.
