DUST/DEBRIS DISPOSAL

(Operation carried out within a contaminated area)
This appliance may contain dust hazardous to health. Emptying and maintenance operations
including removal and renewal of the dust collection bag must only be carried out by
authorised personnel wearing suitable personal protection. Do not operate without the
full filtration system fitted.
Disconnect the hose, fit the blanking cap on the hose entry, unlatch the toggle clips and
remove the motor head/HEPA unit. Take care not to drop the motor head/HEPA unit.
Remove the anti-static filter assembly, carefully release the disposable bag from the bag
tube and lift out of the canister. Seal the disposable bag inlet using the integral cap on the
bag collar. The disposable bag should be immediately placed in a suitably labelled
impervious plastic bag, and this bag should be sealed and disposed of in accordance with
the current regulations. Fit a new disposable bag over the bag tube inside the canister.
This vacuum cleaner is supplied with five spare Microfibre bags and a spare anti-static
filter assembly. This (clean) spare filter should be used and the motor head/HEPA unit
refitted.
The contaminated anti-static filter should now be cleaned by vacuuming and stored in a
labelled plastic bag ready for future use.
