GAS 20 L SFC NL - Vacuum Cleaner BOSCH - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL GAS 20 L SFC NL BOSCH

When operating the vacuum cleaner in damp environ- ments, use a residual current device (RCD). Using a residu- al current device (RCD) reduces the risk of an electric shock. Connect the vacuum cleaner to a properly earthed mains supply. The socket outlet and the extension cable must have an operative protective conductor. Before each use, check the vacuum cleaner, cable and plug. Do not use the vacuum cleaner when defects are detected. Do not open the vacuum cleaner yourself and have it repaired only by qualified personnel using orig- inal spare parts. Damaged vacuum cleaner, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING OBJ_BUCH-1321-007.book Page 8 Thursday, June 1, 2017 11:45 AMEnglish | 9 Bosch Power Tools 1 609 92A 3VY | (1.6.17) Do not drive over, crush or stretch the cable. Do not pull the cable to unplug the plug from the socket outlet or to move the vacuum cleaner. Damaged cables in- crease the risk of an electric shock. Before maintaining or cleaning the vacuum cleaner, making any adjustments, changing accessories or plac- ing the vacuum cleaner aside, remove the plug from the socket outlet. This safety measure prevents accidental starting of the vacuum cleaner. Provide for good ventilation at the working place. Have the vacuum cleaner repaired only through quali- fied specialists and only using original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of your vacuum cleaner is main- tained. 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 op- erate the vacuum cleaner without the complete filter sys- tem. Otherwise there is danger to your own health. Before restarting, check the proper condition of the vacuum hose. When doing this, leave the vacuum hose mounted to the vacuum cleaner to prevent dust from coming out. Otherwise, you could possibly 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 water jet point- ed directly at it. The penetration of water into the vacuum cleaner lid increases the risk of an electric shock. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a 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 fitted in its place by an authorised customer service 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 inserted into a mains socket elsewhere. Additional Safety and Working In- structions Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must correspond with the data on the type plate of the vacuum cleaner. Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less. Please inform yourself about the valid regula- tions/laws for your country concerning the handling of materials that are hazardous to one’s health. To save energy, only switch the vacuum cleaner on when using it. For dry vacuuming, a dust bag should be inserted. When using a dust bag, the folded filter remains un- clogged longer, the vacuuming performance is main- tained longer, and the disposal of dust is made easier. Remove the dust bag and empty the container before wet vacuuming. The vacuum cleaner has a blower function. Do not blow the outgoing air randomly in enclosed areas. Use the blower function only with the a clean hose. Dusts can be hazardous to one’s health. After vacuuming, remove the folded filter to prevent the forming of mould and allow it to dry thoroughly; es- pecially before using it for dry vacuuming. Operate the vacuum cleaner only with the folded filter mounted. A socket outlet with earthing contact is integrated in the vacuum cleaner. An external power tool can be con- nected there. The vacuum cleaner is automatically put into operation 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 wa- ter mixtures. Wipe out the container from time to time with a com- mercially available, non-scouring cleaning agent, and allow it to dry. Symbols The following symbols are important for reading and under- standing the operating instructions. Please take note of the symbols and their meaning. The correct interpretation of the symbols will help you to use the vacuum cleaner in a better and safer manner.

Intended Use The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming and extraction of materials that are not hazardous to one’s health and for non-flammable liquids. It is suitable for the increased de- mands of industrial usage, as required in trades, industry and workshops. According to IEC/EN 60335-2-69, vacuum cleaners of dust category L may only be used for vacuuming and extraction of hazardous dusts with an exposition limit value > 1 mg/m

Use the vacuum cleaner only when you fully understand and can perform all functions without limitation, or have received appropriate instructions. The vacuum cleaner has a blower function, e. g. for drying sur- faces. The vacuum cleaner has a socket outlet with remote automat- ic switching for connection of a power tool with extraction function.

that are haz- ardous to one’s health. Note: The requirements for the ingress degree (dust category L) have only been proven for dry vacuuming. 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 spe- cialists. Appropriate protective equipment is required. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the com- plete filter system. Otherwise there is danger to your own health. Do not use the vacuum cleaner as a seat or stepladder Before any work on the vacuum cleaner itself, pull the mains plug from the socket outlet Always wear ear protection. Wear a dust respirator.

Otherwise, the vacuum clean- er can become damaged. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a float. When the maximum filling height is reached, the suction capacity is reduced. Set the On/Off switch to position “0” and empty the container. If the suction force is so high that the connected power tool adheres too firmly against the working surface, regulate the airflow. When the vacuum performance decreases, activate the semi-automatic filter cleaning. If a fault (e.g. a filter damage) occurs, the vacuum cleaner must be switched off immediately. The fault must be repaired before resuming operation. Maintenance and Cleaning For safe and proper working, always keep the vacuum cleaner and ventilation slots clean. A dust-technical inspection is to be carried out at least once every year by the manufacturer or an instructed person, e. g. for damage of the filter, tightness against leakage of the vacu- um cleaner and function of the control/monitoring unit. 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.
