Safety warnings

Attention!
The following indications are, by themselves, not enough to fully protect against all the hazards that
could arise during dust collector operation. These will have to be integrated with common sense and the
experience of the operator, both of which are crucial factors for preventing accidents. Each section of this
manual lists further specific safety warnings for the various operations.
Maintenance jobs must always be performed with the power plug detached from the power source.
The employer must inform and train the user according to the provisions of applicable laws.
Before using the machine, prepare and train yourself by reading this manual carefully. Use of the machine by
untrained and unauthorized persons is forbidden.
Using the machine to vacuum toxic substances is forbidden unless this has been equipped with special filters
required for the specific type of dusts. Such filters must be explicitly requested by you.
If the machine is used to vacuum toxic-harmful substances, the container must be emptied and the filters
cleaned using adequate individual protection devices, selected according to the type of substances to be
vacuumed.
Do not vacuum flammable materials or substances or which could cause explosions (fuels, solvents, etc.). To
vacuum such materials, the machine must be built with Anti-explosion Motor and Electric System and this
must be requested by you explicitly.
Do not vacuum corrosive substances unless the machine is equipped with containers suitable for this purpose
(Stainless-steel AISI 304).
Use of the machine without the supplied filters is not recommended.
If the filters are correctly fitted, the machine will not eject any objects.
Never rest miscellaneous materials on the horizontal protection guard.
The machine casing containing moving parts must not be removed by the user.

Use the machine cautiously on slopes and ramps.

During cleaning operations, maintenance jobs or when changing parts, the starter switch must be off and the
machine must be disconnected from the power mains by removing the cable from the socket.
Only skilled persons should carry out repairs.
During use, protect the power supply cables from damage and avoid crushing or pulling the cables.
