Safety instructions

The enclosed safety information for wet/dry vacuum cleaners must be read prior to initial commissioning!
DANGER
– 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 accessories!
– 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.
WARNING
This appliance should not be used or stored in the open under wet conditions.

Switch off the appliance after completing the work and pull out the mains plug.

• Observe the safety regulations for the materials being vacuumed.

In Emergency
In case of emergency (while sucking in combustible materials, when there is a short-circuit or some other electrical defect), switch off the appliance and remove the plug from
the socket.

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 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. Spring bows must be clean and lie flat against the dirt container. Clean 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 occa-sionally 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 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 way, the electrically conductive accessories approved by the manufacturer prevent the formation of sparks and current surges.

Operation

After vacuuming moist or liquid substances, observe the notes in chapter “Changing from wet vacuuming to dry 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.

Dry vacuum cleaning
– The appliance is fitted with a disposal bag, order no. 6.907-347.0 (5 ea.).
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.
Note: The appliance is suited for sucking in dry, combustible dusts with MAK values greater than or equal to 0.1 mg/m 3.
– To vacuum fine dust, you must use an additional disposal bag.

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.
