ver acetone, undiluted acids and sol-
vents if they should be aggressive to
the material used for the machine
components.

This machine is not suitable for evacu-
ation of dusts which are explosive or
dangerous to health.

A perfect maintenance of the machine
mainly helps preventing accidents.

tion by an expert at regular intervals
(we recommend a yearly check at
least) and after modification or repair.

hes/pads than indicated may affect
your safety.

vapour jet or high pressure cleaning
equipment.
Before cleaning or servicing the
machine as well as before replacing
parts, switch motors off.
If the machine is battry-driven, discon-
nect the battery plug.
Make sure to take precautions against
unintended starting of the appliance.
Due to an increased tilting hazard, the
pneumatic tire equipment of the
Hakomatic is not admissible.
Do not allow water to penetrate the
electrical parts.
The machine is splash-water proof
(IPX3)
Do not allow water to get into the
machine in the driver's seat area as it
may be collected on the battery stored

red.
