ENG
f) If operating a vacuum cleaner in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use a vacuum cleaner while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating vacuum
cleaner may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental operation. Check that the
vacuum cleaner (or any connected power tool) is
switched off before lifting it, carrying it or connecting
it to the power supply. Accidents may occur if you
connect the vacuum cleaner or an active power tool
(when switched on) to the power supply.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the vacuum cleaner in unexpected situations.
e) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves at
a safe distance from moving parts. Loose clothing,
jewelry or long hair could catch in the suction hose
or suction nozzle.
f) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the vacuum cleaner on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the vacuum cleaner
may result in personal injury.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and property used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Vacuum cleaner use and care
a) Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any vacuum cleaner that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
b) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing vacuum cleaners. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the vacuum cleaner accidentally.
c) Store idle vacuum cleaners out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the vacuum cleaner or these instructions to operate
the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
d) Maintain vacuum cleaners. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
vacuum cleaner's operation. If damaged, have the
vacuum cleaner repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained vacuum
cleaners.

e) Use the vacuum cleaner, accessories, etc. in
accordance with these instructions. Take into
consideration the working conditions and tasks
required. Using vacuum cleaners for applications
other than those intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
5) Service
a) Have your vacuum cleaner serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the vacuum cleaner is maintained.
