THE USE OF THE VACUUM CLEANER
Electrical Precautions
See also the electrical safety
precautions listed under "Important
Safety Instructions" at the beginning of
this manual.
WARNING
Special precautions for vacuum
cleaners must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury and property
damage from fire and electric shock.
WARNING
Inspect the power supply cord and the
plug regularly for signs of damage and
ageing.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk
of serious injury from
electrocution, never use
your vacuum cleaner if
the power supply cord or
plug is cut, cracked, worn
or damaged.
Have your STIHL servic -
ing dealer replace such a
power supply cord.
Only connect the machine to a correctly
installed power socket.
SE 62
WARNING
The voltage and frequency of the power
supply must agree with the voltage and
frequency specified on the vacuum
cleaner's rating plate. Improper voltage
will damage the vacuum cleaner's motor
and may cause personal injury.
The vacuum cleaner should only be
connected to the power supply via a
ground-fault circuit interrupter rated for
at least 120 V, 60 Hz.
WARNING
Be sure the power switch is off when
plugging the unit into the power supply in
order to reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock from arcing and the risk
of injury from unintended vacuuming.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not use
the vacuum cleaner in
damp or wet locations.
Do not expose to or use
in rain. Do not handle the
plug or the unit with wet
hands.
WARNING
When using the vacuum cleaner, always
keep the power supply cord behind you.
Always ensure that your power supply
cord does not become entangled with
obstacles or objects. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Do not
close a door on the cord. Never pull or
carry vacuum cleaner by power supply
cord or jerk power supply cord to
disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
To unplug, grasp the plug not the cord.
Damaged cords may cause
electrocution. Always disconnect the
plug from the power supply when you
take a break.
Electrical Cords
When using extension cords, ensure
that the minimum conductor cross-
sections are maintained – see
"Connecting to Power Supply."
Appropriate extension cords are
available in special stores for electrical
equipment. Use only extension cords
that comply with the specifications for
the respective application.
Unsuitable extension cords may be
dangerous.
If an extension cord is coiled on a cord
reel, always unroll completely to reduce
the risk of fire due to overheating.
When using extension cords, the
connector and coupling must be
waterproof or routed in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with
water.
Transporting the vacuum cleaner
Before transporting the container, close
all the latches.
When transporting your unit in a vehicle,
properly secure it to prevent turnover
and damage to the vacuum cleaner.
Do not tilt the vacuum cleaner if there is
liquid in the container.
Do not use a crane hook to lift the
vacuum cleaner.
Before using
Always make sure the vacuum cleaner
is in proper condition before starting.
