Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation, which can lead to severe injuries or death.
CAUTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation, which can lead to minor injuries.
ATTENTION
Pointer to a possibly dangerous situation, which can lead to property damage.

Proper use

The machine is meant for dry and wet cleaning of floors and walls.
The appliance is suited for the extraction of dry, non-combustible, harmful dusts; dust class M ac-cording to EN 60 335–2–69. Restriction: No carcinogenic substances may be vacuumed up.
This device is not suitable for connection to dust-generating machines.
This appliance is suited for industrial use, e.g. in storage and assembly areas.
The appliance is not approved for crane loading.

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 per-formed 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.

Start up

Bring the appliance to working position – secure it, if required, with parking brakes.
Insert the suction hose (not included) into the suction 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.
Attach the desired accessories (not included).

Automatic monitoring of suction capacity
The machine is equipped with a suction power monitor. The control lamp lights up if the air speed in the suction hose falls below 20 m/s.
Note: The control lamp can light up occasionally during normal operation (e.g., while working with a floor noz-zle), if the air volume comes down (cross-sectional re-duction) causing a low pressure.
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 prevents the formation of sparks and current shocks due to attachments (option) with electrical conductivity.

Operation

CAUTION
The flat pleated filter must always be in place while vacuuming.

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

Properly insert the connection socket in the suction connection.
Push in the connection socket until it locks into place.
Turn the suction connection with the connection socket to the right to close it tightly.

Dirt receptacle
Note: The dirt container needs to be emptied if it is full until about 3 cm below the upper rim.

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. 9.989-607.0 (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 col-lection bag (see Filter systems for order number).
Note:The appliance is suited as industrial vacuum cleaner to take up dry, non- combustible dusts with MAK values greater than or equal to 0.1 mg/m3.

CAUTION
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 instructions under the section “Maintenance and Care”.

Wet vacuum cleaning
Caution: Constantly monitor the fill level in the dirt receptacle when vacuuming high volumes of liquid, as the receptacle can be filled within a matter of seconds and could overflow.

To suck wet dirt, always remove the disposal bag.

General
CAUTION
Please observe the local provisions regarding the wastewater treatment.

If wet dirt is vacuumed with the crevice nozzle or if high volumes of liquid are sucked up from a container, it is recommended to deactivate the “Filter Dedusting” function.
After the wet vacuuming: Clean the flat-fold filter. Clean the container with a damp rag and dry it.

Removing the dust disposal bag

Lock parking brakes.
Illustration
Remove the pressure balancing at the upper end.

Care and maintenance

DANGER
First pull out the plug from the mains before carrying out any tasks on the machine. Dust extracting machines are safeguards for the prevention or elimination of hazards defined in the regulations of BGV A1.

In order to carry out maintenance work, the user must disassemble, clean and service the unit, in so far as this is possible without endangering maintenance personnel and other persons. Suitable pre-cautions include decontamination before the unit is disassembled. Precautions must be taken for local filtered forced air ventilation at the place where the unit is disassembled, the cleaning of the maintenance surface and suitable protection of the personnel.
The outside of the unit should be cleaned thoroughly and any harmful substances removed. Alterna-tively, a sealed coating may be applied before the unit is removed from the danger area. All unit parts are to be considered contaminated when they are removed from the danger area. To avoid distribu-tion of the dust, you must take the appropriate measures.
In the framework of maintenance and repair work all contaminated objects that cannot be cleaned satisfactorily must be disposed of. Such objects must be disposed of in impermeable bags in accordance with the valid provisions for the disposal of such waste.

WARNING
Safety equipment for preventing hazards must be serviced and maintained regularly. This means that the manufacturer’s staff or persons trained by the manufacturer must check the equipment for proper functioning at least once a year, i.e. check for leaks, filter damage, functioning of the controlling elements, etc.

CAUTION
Risk of damage! Do not use detergents containing silicone to clean.

No outside help is required for carrying out basic maintenance and cleaning.
The appliance surface and the inside of the container should be cleaned regularly using a damp cloth.

DANGER
Risk due to dust hazardous to health. Always use disposal clothing and P2 or higher breath-safe masks while carrying out maintenance tasks (such as changing filters).
