tions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future

This vacuum cleaner is not
u
intended for use by children
or persons with physical,
sensory or mental impair-
ments. It should not be used
by persons who have insuffi-
cient experience and know-
ledge. Otherwise, there is a
risk of operating errors and in-
juries.
Supervise children. This will
u
ensure that children do not
play with the vacuum cleaner.
Do not vacuum beech or oak wood dust or
u
asbestos. Only vacuum rock dust in con-
junction with dust extraction systems,
which have been explicitly approved for
use with ASBS18‑10AS by FEIN. These sub-
stances are classified as carcinogenic.
Only use the vacuum
WARNING
cleaner if you have been ad-
equately informed about the use of the
equipment, the substances to be vacuumed
and how to dispose of these safely. Thorough
instruction on how to use the equipment pre-
vents accidental misuse and injuries.
The vacuum cleaner is suit-
WARNING
able for vacuuming dry sub-
stances, and can also be used to vacuum li-
quids when taking appropriate measures. The
penetration of liquids increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum
u
combustible or explosive liquids, such as
petrol, oil, alcohol or solvents. Do not va-
cuum hot, burning or explosive dust. Do
not operate the vacuum cleaner in areas
subject to explosion hazards. Dust, vapours
and liquids can ignite or explode.
If you notice a foam or wa-
WARNING
ter leak, switch off the va-
cuum cleaner immediately and empty the
container. Otherwise, the vacuum cleaner can
become damaged.
NOTE: The vacuum cleaner must only be
u
stored indoors.
NOTE: Clean the float regularly and check
u
whether it is damaged. Otherwise, the equip-
ment may not function properly.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventil-
u
ated.
The vacuum cleaner should be repaired ex-
u
clusively by a qualified professional using
only genuine spare parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the vacuum cleaner is main-
tained.
The dust extractor contains
WARNING
dust particles that pose a
risk to health. Emptying and maintenance
procedures, including the disposal of dust
containers, should only be carried out by
professionals. Suitable protective equipment
is required. Do not operate the vacuum
cleaner unless the complete filter system is
correctly inserted. Otherwise, you are putting
your health at risk.
Before using the equipment for the first
u
time, check that the vacuum hose is in per-
fect condition. Leave the vacuum hose fit-
ted to the vacuum cleaner while doing this
so that no dust escapes accidentally. Other-
wise, you may end up inhaling dust particles.
Do not clean the vacuum cleaner by spray-
u
ing a jet of water directly at it. Water enter-
ing the top of the vacuum cleaner will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of
u
short-circuiting.
In case of damage and improper use of the
u
battery, vapours may be emitted. The bat-
tery can set alight or explode. Ensure the
area is well ventilated and seek medical atten-
tion should you experience any adverse ef-
fects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory
system.
If used incorrectly or if the battery is dam-
u
aged, flammable liquid may be ejected
from the battery. Contact with this liquid
should be avoided. If contact accidentally
occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid
comes into contact with your eyes, seek
additional medical attention. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
The battery can be damaged by pointed ob-
u
jects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
