Electrical Safety - Flex VC 6 L MC Instrucciones De Funcionamiento Originales

VC 6 L MC
Ensure that no persons in the vicinity are injured by foreign

particles that are swept up into the air.
Do not air sweep substances that are hazardous to health,

such as beechwood dust or oak dust, stone dust, asbestos.
These substances have been found to be carcinogenic.
Do not air sweep liquids. Any ingress of liquid increases the

risk of electric shock.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.

Wear additional personal protective equipment such as

safety goggles and respirator (or breathing protection).
Wearing suitable protective equipment for the conditions
reduces any exposure to hazardous substances.

Electrical safety

Avoid physical contact with earthed or earth-connected

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking equipment, ov-
ens and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if a human body is earthed.
Never expose the vacuum cleaner to rain or wet conditions.

Water ingress in the vacuum cleaner increases the risk of
electric shock.

Warning notice for VC 6 L MC
Mains cable
The voltage given on the data plate must equate to the

mains voltage.
The mains cable specified by the manufacturer must be

used. The same applies if cables need replacing.
Before using the mains cable and mains connector/plug,

check for damage. If the mains cable is damaged, it must
be replaced immediately by an authorised customer ser-
vice agent/electrician in order to prevent possible danger.
The device may only be connected to a mains network in-

stalled by an electrician in accordance with IEC 60364.
Never touch the mains cable and the mains connector/plug

with wet hands.
Make sure that the mains cable or extension lead are not

damaged; signs of damage may be evident from them be-
ing driven over, severely bent or kinked, exposed to pulling
loads or similar. Protect the mains cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
The mains cable must be inspected at regular intervals for

damage, such as cracks or signs of ageing. In the event of
damage, the cable must be replaced before any further
use.
When replacing couplings of the mains cable or an exten-

sion lead, ensure protection against splashes and mechan-
ical leak-tightness.
Do not clean the device with a water hose or high pressure

jet (danger of short circuit or other damage).
Application
Devices with accessories, particularly the mains cable and

extension lead, must be inspected before use to ensure
that they function correctly and safely. If defects are found,
pull out the mains connector/plug immediately. The device
must then not be used.
Do not extract burning or glowing objects.

This device must not be used for vacuum cleaning people

and animals.
The devices may not be used outside at low temperatures.

If the device is used in hazardous locations (e.g. filling sta-

tions), the relevant safety regulations must be observed.
Use of the device in explosive areas is not permissible.

Certain materials can generate explosive vapours or mix-

tures through the intake of air.
Caution: This device may only be stored in enclosed spac-

es.
Caution: This device is designed to be used only in en-

closed spaces.
The following materials must never be extracted:

–
Explosive or flammable gases, liquids and dust particles
(reactive dust particles)
–
Reactive metallic dust particles (e.g. aluminium,
magnesium, zinc) in combination with strong alkaline or
acidic cleaning agents
–
Undiluted, strong acids and lye
–
Organic solvents (e.g. benzine, thinners, acetone, heating
oil)
Furthermore, the substances listed may result in materials

of the device becoming corroded.
Operation
The operator must use the device in the intended manner.

He/she must take account of the local conditions and be
mindful of third parties, particularly children, when working
with the device.
Do not leave the equipment unsupervised while it is in op-

eration and if the mains cable has not been removed.
Always wear suitable gloves when working on the device.

The device may only be used by persons who have re-

ceived induction training on how to use the device or are in
possession of verified qualification and specialist knowl-
edge on how to use the device or have been expressly
tasked with using the device.
This device is not to be used by persons (including chil-

dren) with physical or mental disabilities or persons who
lack the experience and knowledge to do so.
Children must be supervised in order to ensure that the de-

vice is not used incorrectly.
This device is designed for dry use only and may not be

used or stored in wet conditions outside unless expressly
marked otherwise.
CAUTION!
–
The device is not suitable for extracting harmful dust.
–
The mains cable must not come into contact with the
rotating brushes.
