The vacuum cleaner contains materials that
are hazardous to one's health. Have the
emptying and maintenance, incl. the dispos-
al of dust-collection containers, carried out
only by specialists. Appropriate protective
equipment is required. Do not operate the
vacuum cleaner without the complete filter
system. Otherwise there is danger to your
own health.
Before restarting, check the proper condi-
tion of the vacuum hose. When doing this,
leave the vacuum hose mounted to the vac-
uum cleaner to avoid dust from coming out.
Otherwise, you could possible inhale dust.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner as a seat.
The vacuum cleaner could become damaged.
Use the mains cable and the vacuum hose
carefully. Other persons could be harmed.
Do not clean the vacuum cleaner with a wa-
ter jet pointed directly at it. The penetration
of water into the vacuum cleaner lid increas-
es the risk of an electric shock.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted
with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with
internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets,
it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fit-
ted in its place by an authorised customer serv-
ice agent. The replacement plug should have the
same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be in-
serted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of
the power source must correspond with the
data on the type plate of the vacuum cleaner.
For dry vacuuming, a dust bag should be in-
serted. When using a dust bag, the folded
filter remains unclogged longer, the vacu-
uming performance is maintained longer,
and the disposal of dust is made easier.
1 609 929 X19 | (13.1.11)
Remove the dust bag and empty the con-
tainer before wet vacuuming.
The vacuum cleaner has a blower function.
Do not blow the outgoing air randomly in
enclosed areas. Use the blower function on-
ly with the a clean hose. Dusts can be haz-
ardous to one's health.
After vacuuming, remove the folded filter to
prevent the forming of mould and allow it to
dry thoroughly; especially before using it
for dry vacuuming.
Operate the vacuum cleaner only with the
folded filter mounted.
A socket outlet with earthing contact is in-
tegrated in the vacuum cleaner. An external
power tool can be connected there. The
vacuum cleaner is automatically put into op-
eration via the power tool. Observe the
maximal allowable load of the connected
power tool.
The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a
water pump. The vacuum cleaner is intended
for vacuuming air and water mixtures.
Wipe out the container from time to time
with a commercially available, non-scouring
cleaning agent, and allow it to dry.
