BRAND-BZW. EXPLOSIONSGEFAHR


Before putting the cleaner into operation, be sure to also read the enclosed operating instructions thoroughly and keep them close at hand for future reference.
The cleaner may only be used by persons trained in its use and expressly authorised to use it.
GENERAL
Operation of this cleaner is subject to the applicable national regulations.
In addition to these operating instructions and the binding regulations on accident prevention applicable in the country of use, the generally acknowledged technical rules for safe and correct working must also be observed.
Any method of work endangering health or safety is forbidden!
HEALTH-ENDANGERING DUSTS*)
This cleaner is not suitable for picking up health-endangered dusts.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD


The following materials must not be picked up with the cleaner:
Hot materials (glowing cigarettes, hot ashes, etc.)
Inflammable, explosive or aggressive fluids (e.g. petrol, solvents, acids, alkalines, etc.)
Inflammable, explosive dusts (e.g. magnesium or aluminium dust, etc.).
APPLIANCE PLUG SOCKET
Before connecting any appliance to the appliance plug socket, the cleaner must always be switched off.
If appliances are connected to the appliance plug socket, ensure that these appliances are also switched off when being connected to the appliance plug socket.
CAUTION!
The operating instructions and the safety precautions contained therein must be observed when using appliances connected to the appliance plug socket of the cleaner.
USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using the cleaner for the first time, check that it is in a good and safe condition.
Plugs and connectors of mains leads must be at least splash water-proof.
Check the mains connection and mains plug.
Inspect the mains lead at regular intervals for damage or signs of ageing. Use the cleaner only when the mains lead is in a good and safe condition.
(Damaged mains leads present a danger of electric shocks!)
Use the cleaner only with an undamaged filter element.
DURING OPERATION
Take care not to damage the mains lead (e.g. by driving over, pinching or dragging). Pull out the mains plug only directly at the plug, i.e. not by pulling at the mains lead.

Before picking up liquids, the filter bag must be removed and the function of the float switch checked. If foaming is observed, stop work immediately and empty the tank.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
CAUTION!
Before cleaning and servicing the cleaner, always remove the mains plug.
Carry out only maintenance operations described in these operating instructions. Use only original Wap spare parts.
Do not make any technical modifications to the cleaner.
CAUTION!
Your safety could be endangered as a result!
For all other maintenance and repair work, please contact the Wap Service department or an authorised specialist workshop!
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Check the rated voltage of the cleaner before connecting it to the mains power supply. Ensure that the voltage specified on the rating plate corresponds to the local mains voltage.
When connected to the mains power supply with a mains lead of type H 07 RN-F 3G 1.5 mm², the cleaner may also be used outdoors.
When using an extension lead or replacing the mains lead, the lead type specified by the manufacturer must always be used.
We recommend that the power supply to the cleaner be connected via an earth-leakage circuit breaker which interrupts the power supply either if the earth leakage current exceeds 30mA for 30 ms, or it contains an earthing test current circuit.
When using an extension lead, observe the minimum cross-sections of the leads:
| Cable length m | Cross-section mm2 |
| up to 20 | 1.5 |
| 20 to 50 | 2.5 |
Always arrange the current-carrying parts (plug sockets, plugs and connectors) and lay extension leads so that the protection class of the cleaner is maintained.
CAUTION!
Never spray the top section of the cleaner with water: Danger for persons, danger of short circuits.
The latest edition of the IEC Regulations must be observed.

When employed in accordance with its intended use, the industrial vacuum cleaner described in these operating instructions is suitable for picking up non-flammable, dry dusts and liquids. It corresponds to dust class 'L'.
DESCRIPTION (Fig. A)
1 Handle
2 Filter cleaning button
3 Appliance switch
4 Green LED (ready for operation)
5 Yellow LED (clean filter element)
6 Inlet fitting
7 Dirt tank
8 Drainage hose with ball valve
9 Retaining clamp
10 Connection lead
11 Adapter for accessories, 50 mm diameter
CAUTION!
On delivery, the accessories are lying in the tank and must beremoved before the cleaner is used for the first time. Remove the cleaner top section:
The mains plug must not yet be inserted into a plug socket.
- Open the retaining clamps and lift off the cleaner top section (Fig. B).
- Place a bag-type filter into the tank as described in the instructions (printed on the filter).
- Fit the cleaner top section and close the retaining clamps.
- Connect the suction hose. The 'Wap MultiFit' enables any Wap suction hose systems (32, 36, 50 mm diameter) to be connected to the cleaner.
(Fig. C)
ASSEMBLING THE CLEANER
If necessary:
- Press the adapter for accessories with a 50 mm diameter into the push-in clip (Fig. D)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The operating voltage shown on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage of the mains power supply.
- Ensure that the cleaner is switched off and insert the plug of the mains lead
into a properly installed and fused plug socket with earthing contact.
PICKING UP DRY SUBSTANCES
Before picking up dry substances, the bag-type filter should always be installed in the tank. It is then easy to dispose of the material picked up and the service life of the main filter element is significantly increased. Dry cleaning without bag-type filter is also possible.
Inflammable substances must not be picked up with the cleaner!
After picking up liquids, the filter element is damp. Damp filter elements can clog more quickly when dry substances are picked up. For this reason, the filter element should be dried or replaced by a dry element before picking up dry substances.
PICKING UP LIQUIDS
Before picking up liquids, the bag-type filter must always be removed from the tank.
Inflammable liquids must not be picked up with the cleaner!
If foaming is observed, stop work immediately and empty the tank through the drainage hose.
SWITCHING ON THE CLEANER
Two operating modes are possible:
Switch position '1':
The cleaner operates with reduced suction power.
Switch position 'I'
The cleaner operates with maximum suction power
(Fig. E).
NOTE!
When moving the switch from position 'I' to position 'II' or vice versa, always leave it in the '0' position for at least 3 seconds.
DURING WORK
If the yellow LED lights up: The suction power is no longer optimal. The filter element needs cleaning.
- Switch off the cleaner.
Pull up and then release the filter cleaning button. This cleans the filter element. Repeat the procedure between about 5 and 10 times.
If the yellow LED flashes, the cleaner has switched off:
The maximum filling level for picking up fluids has been reached.
- Empty the tank through the drainage hose.
AFTER FINISHING WORK
-
Switch off the cleaner and pull the plug of the mains lead out of the plug socket.
-
Clean the dirt tank and rinse with clear water if necessary.
Wind up the mains lead (Fig. F).
CHANGING THE BAG-TYPE FILTER
- Close the bag-type filter sleeve with the slide (Fig. G).
Pull the bag-type filter sleeve off the inlet fitting. - Dispose of the used bag-type filter in accordance with the local waste disposal regulations.
- Place a new bag-type filter into the tank as described in the instructions (printed on the filter).
IMPORTANT!
Push the bag-type filter sleeve completely onto the inlet fitting.
REPLACING THE FILTER ELEMENT
- Switch off the cleaner and pull the plug of the mains lead out of the plug socket.
- Remove the cleaner top section from the dirt tank and place to one side with the filter element facing upwards (Fig. H).
- Press the retainer clamp and remove the filter holder (Fig. J).
-
Remove the used filter element and replace it with a new one.
-
Push on the filter holder and click the retainer clamp into position (Fig. K).
- Dispose of the used filter element in accordance with the local waste disposal regulations.
CLEANING THE POROUS FILTER
Once a year or as required, remove the cassette with the porous filter, clean the filter and replace if necessary (Fig. L).
TESTS AND APPROVALS
Electrotechnically tested according to test methods/principles:
As a result of these tests, suitable for higher load for commercial application.
Electrotechnical tests must be performed in accordance with the provisions of the Accident Prevention Regulations (VBG4) and to DIN VDE 0701 Part 1 and Part 3. In accordance with DIN VDE 0702, these tests must be performed at regular intervals and after repair or modification.
