dust from beech or oak wood, masonry dust,
asbestos. These materials are considered carci-
nogenic.

when you fully understand and
can perform all functions without limitation, or
have received appropriate instructions. A thor-
ough introduction reduces operating errors and
injuries.
Children or persons with mental or physical

er under supervision or after having been
instructed. A thorough introduction reduces
operating errors and injuries.
The vacuum cleaner is suitable

solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning
dust. Do not operate the machine in rooms
where the danger of an explosion exists.

WARNING
vals, and check it for damage.
Otherwise, its function can be impaired.
Keep the vacuum cleaner away from rain or
moisture. The penetration of water into the
vacuum cleaner lid increases the risk of an
electric shock.
When operating the vacuum cleaner in
damp environments, use a residual current
device (RCD). Using a residual current device
(RCD) reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Connect the vacuum cleaner to a properly
earthed mains supply. The socket outlet and
the extension cable must have an operative
protective conductor.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner when the
mains cable, plug or switch is damaged. Do
not touch the damaged cable, plug or
switch, and pull the mains plug when the ca-
ble is damaged while working. Damaged ca-
bles, plugs or switches increase the risk of an
electric shock.
Do not drive over, crush or stretch the ca-
ble. Do not pull the cable to unplug the plug
from the socket outlet or to move the vacu-
um cleaner. Damaged cablesincrease the
risk of an electric shock.
During work breaks, when not in use or
when working on the machine (e. g. chang-
ing tool inserts, repairs, cleaning, adjust-
ments), pull the mains plug. This safety
measure prevents accidental starting of the
vacuum cleaner.
Provide for good ventilation at the working
place.
Do not allow children to use the vacuum
cleaner without supervision. Children can
injure themselves.
Have the vacuum cleaner repaired only
through qualified specialists and only using
original spare parts. This ensures that the
safety of your vacuum cleaner is maintained.
Before restarting, check the proper condi-
tion of the vacuum hose. When doing this,
leave the vacuum hose mounted to the vac-
uum cleaner to avoid dust from coming out.
Otherwise, you could possible inhale dust.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner as a seat.
The vacuum cleaner could become damaged.
