Important safety instructions
Before using the vacuum cleaner, always read the operating instructions and keep them readily
available.
Purpose and intended use
The appliance must
–
only be used by persons, who have been instructed in its correct usage and explicitly com-
missioned with the task of operating it
–
only be operated under supervision
–
not be used by children
The vacuum cleaners described in this operating manual are suitable for
–
sucking up dust and li quids
–
commercial use, e.g. in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offices and rental businesses.
–
separation of dust with an exposure limit of greater than 1 mg/m³, (dust class L).
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country
of use, observe recognised regulations for safety and proper use.
When dust removers are used, the rate at which air is exchanged in the room must be adequate if the
exhaust air from the vacuum cleaner is blown into the room (please observe regulations valid in your
country).
The following materials should not be picked up by the vacuum cleaner
–
hot materials (burning cigarettes, hot ash, etc.)
–
flammable, explosive, aggressive liquids (e.g. petrol, solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.)
–
flammable, explosive dust (e.g. magnesium dust, etc.)
Before start-up
Before starting work, the operating staff must be informed on
–
use of the vacuum cleaner
–
risks associated with the material to be picked up
–
safe disposal of the picked up material
Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power
supply. It is recommended that the vacuum cleaner should be connected via a residual current circuit
breaker.
Inspect power cord regularly to detect signs of damage, e.g. cracks or ageing. If the power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by Makita Service or an electrician to avoid danger before use of the
vacuum cleaner is continued. Use only the type of power cord specified in the operating manual. Never
use the vacuum cleaner if the filter is damaged.
Picking up liquids
Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag. Check that the float works properly. If foam
develops or liquid emerges, stop work immediately and empty the dirt tank.
