Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices. Electrical connection. Reduce the risk of electric shock: – Voltage and frequency of the machine (see rating plate) and the voltage and frequency of your power supply must be the same. – Examine the connecting cord, power plug and extension cord for damage. Damaged cords, couplings and plugs or connecting cords that do not comply with the regulations must not be used – Only connect electrical connector to a properly installed wall outlet. – Only use extension cords that comply with the regulations for the intended application. – Check that the insulation of the connection cable, extension cord, plug and coupling is in good condition. Position the connection cable and extension cord correctly: – Check minimum cross section of wires (wire gauge) – see "Connecting to Power Supply". – To reduce the risk of stumbling, position and mark the connecting cord so that it cannot be damaged or endanger others. Do not vacuum hot mate- rials (hot ashes, flammable explosive dust, glowing cigarette butts, etc.), flammable liquids (gasoline, thin- ners, etc.) or aggressive liquids (acids, alkalis) – Danger of fire or explosion!SE 122, SE 122 E English

– Using unsuitable extension cords can be dangerous. Only use extension cords that are approved for outdoor use, are appropriately labeled and have a sufficient cable cross-section. – The plug and coupling of the extension cord must be waterproof or routed in such a way that they cannot come into contact with water – the plug and coupling of the extension cord must not be immersed in water. – Do not allow cord to rub on edges or pointed or sharp objects. – don't trap or squeeze the cord in or under doors or windows – If cords are twisted – unplug the power tool and straighten them out – Always unwind the extension cord completely from the cable reel to reduce the risk of fire from overheating. While Working Avoid damage to the power supply cord. Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it. Never pull the connection cable to disconnect it from the wall outlet.

Vacuuming dry materials WARNING Flammable materials must not be vacuumed. Always make sure that the filter bag has been fitted in the container before vacuuming dry materials. The vacuumed material can then be disposed of without difficulty. Dry materials can also be vacuumed without filter bag. NOTICE Never use the vacuum cleaner with a damaged filter element or without the filter element. Vacuuming liquids WARNING Flammable liquids must not be vacuumed. Always remove the filter bag and check operation of the float before vacuuming liquids. The float switches off the air stream when the container is full. If the machine is exclusively used for wet- vacuuming, the filter element should be replaced by a special insert (special accessory). The filter element is damp after vacuuming liquids. The filter element is likely to clog up more quickly if dry material is vacuumed while it is still damp. For this reason, the filter element should be dried or replaced by a dry filter element before vacuuming dry materials.
