Maintenance and care
Warning
First remove the mains plug before doing
any job on the vacuum cleaner.
Dust extracting machines are safeguards
for the prevention or elimination of hazards
defined in the regulations of BGV A1.
In order to carry out maintenance work, the
user must disassemble, clean and service
the unit, in so far as this is possible without
endangering maintenance personnel and
other persons. Suitable precautions include
decontamination before the unit is disas-
sembled. Precautions must be taken for lo-
cal filtered forced air ventilation at the place
where the unit is dissassembled, the clean-
ing of the maintenance surface and suita-
ble protection of the personnel.
The outside of the unit should be cleaned
thoroughly and any harmful substances re-
moved. Alternatively, a sealed coating may
be applied before the unit is removed from
the danger area. All unit parts are to be
considered contaminated when they are re-
moved from the danger area.
In the framework of maintenance and re-
pair work all contaminated objects that can-
not be cleaned satisfactorily must be
disposed of. Such objects must be dis-
posed of in impermeable bags in accord-
ance with the valid provisions for the
disposal of such waste.

Warning
Safety devices which are designed to pre-
vent dangerous situations must be serviced
regularly. This means that the safety func-
tions of the devices must be subjected to a
thorough inspection, e.g. checking for
leaks and damage to the filter, and testing
the monitoring function. This must be car-
ried out by the manufacturer or a trained
person at least once a year.
No outside help is required for carrying out
basic maintenance and cleaning.
The outer surface of the device and the in-
side of the container should be cleaned
regularly using a damp cloth.
Danger
To minimise residual hazard risks during
maintenance, the following instructions
should be observed. Wear a filter mask P2
or higher and disposable clothes when car-
rying out maintenance work (e.g. filter
change).
