Check the power cord with mains plug for damage before every use. If the power cord is damaged, please arrange immediately for the exchange by an authorized customer service or a skilled electrician.
To avoid accidents due to electrical faults we recommend the use of sockets with a line-side current-limiting circuit breaker (max. 30 mA nominal tripping current).
Caution
Certain materials may produce explosive vapours or mixtures when agitated by the suction air!
Never vacuum up the following materials:
- Explosive or combustible gases, liquids and dust particles (reactive dust particles)
- Reactive metal dust particles (such as aluminium, magnesium, zinc) in combination with highly alkaline or acidic detergents Undiluted, strong acids and alkalies
Organic solvents (such as petrol, paint thinners, acetone, heating oil).

Dry vacuum cleaning
Illustration 5
For a dust-free disposal of the vacuumed material, we recommend inserting the paper filter bag as well. This provides the additional advantage that the cartridge filter will not become contaminated as quickly.
Work only with a dry cartridge filter! Therefore: Always let the cartridge filter dry thoroughly before using it! Added filter bags can burst! Therefore: Change the filter bag at the appropriate time! Always use a filter bag while sucking in fine dust! The filling level of the filter bag depends on the dirt that is sucked in.
The filter bag needs to be replaced more frequently while sucking in fine dust, sand, etc.
Use a preliminary separator while sucking in ash or rust particles (order no. 2.863-139).
