Vacuum cleaners of dust category L according to IEC/EN 60335-2-69 for dry vacuuming of hazardous dusts with an exposition limit value >1 mg/m ^3 .

Only for Switzerland:

The vacuum cleaner's socket outlet may only be used in dry environments.

WARNING

The vacuum cleaner contains materials that are hazardous to one's health. Have the emptying and maintenance, incl. the disposal 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.

WARNING

The vacuum cleaner contains materials that are hazardous to one's health. Have the emptying and maintenance, incl. the disposal 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.

This vacuum cleaner is also suitable for use with AC generators with sufficient power output that correspond the the Standards ISO 8528, design type G2. This Standard is particularly not complied with when the so-called distortion factor exceeds 10 %. When in doubt, please refer to the generator instructions/specification guide.

Special safety instructions.

This machine is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and/or knowledge.

Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the machine.

Cleaning and maintenance of the vacuum cleaner shall not be made by children without supervision.

WARNING

Operating personnel must be appropri-

ately instructed in the use of this

vacuum cleaner. Before usage, the person operating the vacuum cleaner must have been provided with information, instructions and training on using the vacuum cleaner and the materials to be vacuumed, including the safe procedure for disposal of vacuumed materials. The person operating the vacuum cleaner must observe the relevant safety regulations for the materials being vacuumed.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

Operate the vacuum cleaner only from socket outlets with earthing contact that are according to regulations. Use only undamaged supply cords and regularly checked extension cords with earthing contact. A protective conductor without continuity can lead to electric shock.

The earthed connection socket discharges static charges. In connection with electrostatically discharging accessories (optional), this prevents the formation of sparks and current surges.

When wet vacuuming, operate the vacuum cleaner only when the container is level. Otherwise there is danger of electric shock from water penetrating into the vacuum cleaner motor.

Do not misuse the power supply cord to pull the vacuum cleaner around or pull the mains plug from the socket outlet. Keep the power supply cord away from heat, oil sharp edges, or moving parts. Do not drive over or pinch the power supply cord. Damaged or entangled power supply cords increase the risk of an electric shock.

Before replacing accessories, pull the mains plug from the socket outlet. This safety measure reduces the risk of electric shock.

Do not vacuum materials that are hazardous to one's health, e. g., dust from beech or oak wood, masonry dust, asbestos. These materials are considered carcinogenic.

When vacuuming larger quantities of fine dust, electrostatic charging may occur.

Provide for good ventilation of the workplace.

Do not vacuum inflammable or explosive fluids; for example, benzene, oil, alcohol, solvents. Do not vacuum hot or inflammable dusts. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner in rooms where the danger of an explosion exists.

The dusts, vapours or fluids can ignite or explode.

Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or designs to the vacuum cleaner. If the insulation is damaged,

protection against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.

Do not use accessories not specifically intended or recommended for this vacuum cleaner. Just because the accessory can be attached to your vacuum cleaner, it does not assure safe operation.

Before starting operation (see page 6–9), check the power supply cord and the mains plug for damage.

WARNING

Use the vacuum cleaner's socket

outlet only for connection of an external power tool. The vacuum cleaner is automatically switched on and off via the connected power tool. The connected load of the power tool may not exceed the maximum connected load P_A of the vacuum cleaner's socket outlet.

Please also observe the operating instructions and safety warnings of the power tool being connected to the socket outlet of the vacuum cleaner.

Recommendation: Always operate the vacuum cleaner via a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less. The vacuum cleaner may only be stored indoors.

Operating Instructions.

Operation, see page 10.

Filter replacement and filter cleaning, see page 11–13/30 section “Fault Finding.”

CAUTION

Never vacuum with- out the flat-fold filter, as otherwise the motor will be damaged and a health hazard will occur through increased exposure of fine dust. When vacuuming fine dust, a fleece filter bag must be used additionally.

An adequate ventilation rate L must be provided for when the outgoing air is circulated. The circulated airflow must not exceed 50 % (max.) of the fresh air volume (room volume x ventilation rate L_w ). The following applies without special ventilation measures: L_w = 1 h^-1 .

When inserting the fleece filter bag, pay attention that the closing cover and the fleece bag face completely against the interior side of the container.

After removing the fleece filter bag, seal it with the closing cover in order to avoid debris.

For vacuuming dusts of dust category L, only dry flat-fold filters, which have not been moist or wet, are permitted to be used.

Before switching from wet to dry vacuuming, allow the flat-fold filter to dry or replace through a dry one. Otherwise, the flat-fold filter will become unusable.

Keep the flat-fold filter dry and clean it regularly.

Mount accessories applying only slight pressure. For disassembling, turn the parts somewhat against each other and pull apart.

Switch the vacuum cleaner off before connecting a power tool to the vacuum cleaner's socket outlet. Make

sure that the power tool is switched off when inserting its plug into the vacuum cleaner's socket outlet.

After switching off a power tool connected to the vacuum cleaner's socket outlet, the vacuum cleaner will run on for approx. 15 seconds and then automatically switch off. When wet vacuuming electrically conductive liquids, the vacuum cleaner is automatically switched off (automatic shut-off) when reaching the maximum filling height of the container. Pull the mains plug from the socket outlet and empty the container.

When wet vacuuming electrically non-conductive liquids (e. g., oils, drilling emulsions), the vacuum cleaner is not automatically switched off when reaching the maximum filling height of the container. Empty the container in time.

After finishing the wet vacuuming, clean the sensors and the space in between using a brush.

CAUTION

Check the sensors regularly for signs of damage.

Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately as soon as foam or water comes out, and empty the container.

In case of a short-circuit and/or heavy discharge of dust, switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately and disconnect it from the power supply.

For transport of the vacuum cleaner, activate the vacuum cleaner's lockable castor brake.

Repair and customer service.

Check the connections, seals and hoses. Have damage repaired y through a qualified repair per- and only using original FEIN lacement parts.

Use commercially available, non-scouring cleaning agents and water for cleaning the vacuum cleaner. After cleaning, allow the vacuum cleaner to dry completely.

Empty the container each time after using and remove coarse debris and dust.

Empty the container after vacuuming liquids. Afterwards, run the vacuum cleaner with the accessories connected for several minutes in order to dry them.

Dispose of used flat-fold filters and filter bags according to statutory regulations.

When the machine's power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or their representative.

Have a dust-technical inspection carried out at least once every year by the manufacturer or an instructed person, e. g., for damage of the filter, function and tightness against leakage of the vacuum cleaner.

For category L vacuum cleaners that were in contaminated environments, the exterior as well as all machine parts should be cleaned or treated with sealants. When performing maintenance and repair work, all contaminated components that cannot be cleaned to satisfactory must be disposed of. Such components

must be disposed of in impermeable plastic bags conforming with the valid regulations for the disposal of such waste.

For maintenance on behalf of the user, the vacuum cleaner must be disassembled, cleaned and maintained as far as feasible, without causing a risk for the maintenance personnel or other persons. Prior to disassembly, the vacuum cleaner should be cleaned in order to prevent any risks.

The room/enclosure in which the vacuum cleaner is disassembled should be well ventilated. Wear personal protective equipment during maintenance. After the maintenance, the maintenance area should be cleaned.

Products that have come into contact with asbestos may not be sent in for repair. Dispose of products contaminated with asbestos according to the applicable country-specific regulations for such disposal.
