Before starting work
Checking the machine
It must be possible to move the
–
switch easily to the 0 position.
The switch must be in the 0
–
position.
Do not operate the machine if it is not
properly assembled and in good
condition – risk of accident!
The machine may only be used when all
parts are in perfect working order and
are securely mounted.
Remove the filter bag and check correct
operation of the float before vacuuming
liquids or wet materials. Never work
without the filter element.
Never attempt to modify the controls or
safety devices
Electrical connection
Minimize the risk of electrical shock:
Voltage and frequency of the
–
machine (see rating plate) must
match the voltage and frequency of
the mains supply
Examine the connecting cord,
–
power plug and extension cord for
damage. Damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with the
regulations must not be used
Only connect the machine to a
–
correctly installed power socket
4
Use only extension cords that
–
comply with the specifications for
the respective application.
The insulation on the connecting
–
cord and any extension cord, the
plug and the coupling must be fully
intact
Route the connecting cord and
extension cord properly:
Observe the minimum cross-section
–
of the individual cords – see
"Connecting the machine to the
power supply"
Route and mark the connecting
–
cord so that it cannot become
damaged and no one is endangered
– danger of stumbling!
Use of unsuitable extension cords
–
can be dangerous. Use only
extension cords that are approved
for outdoor use and are
correspondingly marked and have a
sufficient cross-section
The connector and coupling of the
–
extension cord must be waterproof
or routed in such a way that they
cannot come into contact with water
– the connector and coupling of the
extension cord must not lie in water
don't let the cord rub against edges
–
or pointed or sharp objects
don't squeeze the cord under doors
–
or windows
if cords become snarled – unplug
–
the power plug and unsnarl the cord
always unroll the connecting cord
–
from the cable reel completely to
avoid risk of fire due to overheating
During operation
If the connecting cord is
damaged, immediately
disconnect the power
plug from the wall outlet –
risk of electric shock!
Ensure that the connecting cord is not
damaged by being driven over,
squashed or pulled, etc.
Never unplug the power plug by pulling
on the connecting cord: always grip the
plug itself.
Only touch the power plug, connecting
cord and extension cord and electrical
plug connections with dry hands.
Never spray electrical devices with
water – Danger of short-circuiting!
In the event of imminent danger or in an
emergency – move switch to 0 .
Never let the machine run unattended.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
The machine may only be operated in an
upright position. Do not cover the
machine and ensure adequate motor
ventilation.
Ensure that the filter element is always
undamaged.
If foam develops or liquid escapes, stop
work immediately, unplug the power
plug, and empty the container.
If the machine is subjected to unusually
high loads for which it was not designed
(e. g., heavy impact or a fall), always
check that it is in good condition before
continuing work - refer also to the
chapter "Before starting work". Also
