1.2 General safety instructions

ATTENTION! When using electric tools, the following fundamental safety measures must be taken to prevent electric shock, injury or fire. Read all of these instructions before you use the electric tool, and store the safety in- structions properly. Service and maintenance: 1 Regular cleaning, maintenance and lubrication. Always pull the electrical plug before any adjustment, maintenance or repair. 2 Have your device repaired only by qualified experts and only with original replace- ment parts. This ensures the continued safety of the device. Working safely: 1 Keep your work area orderly. A messy work area can cause accidents. 2 Consider environmental influences. Do not expose electric tools to rain. Do not use elec- tric tools in damp or wet environments. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of fire or explosion. 3 Protect yourself from electric shock. Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (such as pipes, radiators, electric stoves or cooling devices). 4 Keep other people away. Do not let other people — especially children — touch the elec- tric tool or its cable. Keep them away from the work area. 5 Store electric tools safely when they are not in use. Unused electric tools should be kept in a dry, high or closed area, out of reach of children. 6 Do not overload your electric tool. Work is better and safer within the performance range indicated. 7 Use the right electric tool. Don't use low-performance machines for heavy-duty jobs. Do not use the electric tool for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use a portable circular saw for cutting tree branches or logs. 8 Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as they can get caught in moving parts. When working outdoors, wear slip-resistant shoes. Wear a hairnet over long hair. 9 Use protective gear. Wear safety glasses. Wear a breathing mask during work that creates dust. 10 Connect the dust extraction equipment. If there are connections to dust extraction and collection equipment, make sure that they are connected and properly used. 11 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it was not intended. Never use the cable to pull the plug from the socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges. 12 Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly. They will hold it more securely than your hand can. 13 Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure to stand securely and always keep your balance. 14 Maintain your tools with care. For better and safer work, keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Follow the instructions for lubrication and changing tools. Regularly inspect the elec- tric tool's connection cable, and if it is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized expert.ENGLISH 15 Regularly check extension cords and replace them if they are damaged. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. 15 Pull the plug from the socket. When not using the electric tool, before maintenance or when changing tools, such as saw blades, drills and cutting bits. 16 Do not leave any tool keys inserted. Before switching on, check to see that keys and ad- justment tools have been removed. 17 Avoid unintentional activation. When plugging the tool in, make sure that the switch is turned off. 18 Use outdoor extension cords. When outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved and appropriately marked. 19 Be alert. Pay attention to what you do. Approach your work sensibly. Do not use the electric tool when you are distracted. 20 Check the electric tool for damage. Before using the electric tool, you must inspect safety equipment or slightly damaged parts carefully to ensure that they work properly and as in- tended. Check to see that the moving parts operate freely and don't stick, and to make sure no parts are damaged. All parts must be mounted properly and meet all the conditions for ensuring trouble-free operation of the electric tool. Damaged safety equipment and parts must be properly repaired or replaced by a profes- sional facility, unless otherwise indicated in the user manual. Damaged switches must be replaced by a customer service facility. Never use an electric tool whose switch cannot be turned on and off. 21 Caution. Using other insertion tools and accessories may cause injury. 22 Have your tool repaired by an electrical expert. This electric tool meets applicable safety requirements. Repairs must be made only by an electrical expert using original replacement parts. Otherwise accidents many occur.

The vibration level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60335 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibra- tion such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisa- tion of work patterns.

When using the grip handle you can adapt the suction performance by using the slider to control access of air into the hose. Dry vacuum cleaning: You should only use the vacuum cleaner with a dry filter and appropriate accessories to prevent dust from accumulating and forming encrustations. When using the vacuum cleaner to remove soot, cement, plaster, flour or similar dust we rec- ommend using fleece filter bags. Always use filter bags in combination with folding filter cassettes. Wet vacuum cleaning:

Switch the vacuum cleaner off immediately if foam or liquid starts to come out. Empty the container and, if necessary, the folding filter cassette. Note! Clean the water level sensors (W) regularly and examine for signs of damage!

Vacuum cleaning without paper filter bags. The folding filter cassettes are designed for wet vacuum cleaning. The fitted sensor switches the motor off when the container is full. The handling of the vacuum cleaner can be compromised by a full container. Empty the vacuum cleaner (see Emptying the container)

If the vacuum cleaner is not switched off, the re-start protection unit remains operative. Only after switching off and re-starting is the vacuum cleaner ready for use again. Remove the suction hose from the liquid before emptying. After switching off, a small quantity of water can flow back out of the hose, as a result of the high suction level and the favourable flow condition in the container. If you use it as a dry vacuum cleaner, you must insert dry filters. Note: If you change between dry and wet vacuum cleaning frequently, we recommend using a second set of filters, preferably polyester folding filter cassettes.

3.5 Cleaning the filter

The suction unit is fitted with an electro-magnetic filter cleaning device which can shake off any dust adhered to the folded filter cassettes. Cleaning the filter: The vibration function (switch setting R or RA /switch should be activated at the latest when the volume flow display (warning lamp) lights up or when the warning signal sounds or when the suction output sinks. Automatic cleaning. Filter cleaning is performed (switch setting RA/switch automatically during the next working break when the minimum volume flow level is reached.

3.6 Emptying the container

Note: Only permitted for dust with AGW‘s > 1mg/m

Switch the vacuum cleaner off, pull the mains plug out. Open the latches. Remove the cover and suction hose from the container. Empty the container by pouring out. Dispose of the fleece filter bag: Pull the mains plug out. Fit mouth protection. Remove suction hose, close off the suction spigot with a plug.20 ENGLISH Open the side latches, remove the top section. Carefully pull the flange off the suction spigot and close off the flange.

Immediately isolate the folding filter cassettes that you have removed in a dust-tight plastic bag and dispose of properly in accordance with the stipulations. Insert new folding filter cassettes. Lift the locking bracket up, fold the hood down and click in place with light pressure.

3.8 Changing the motor protection filter

Note: If the motor protection filter is contaminated this indicates defective filter cassettes. Replacing the folding filter cassettes. Replace the motor protection filter or wash the motor protection filter under flowing water, dry and re-insert.

The motor head must be securely fixed to the container (close the latches). Place the accessories in a suitable plastic bag and seal the plastic bag or place it in the tool storage compartment. Plug the ends of the suction hose into each other. Place the hose around the vacuum cleaner and clamp onto the handle. 4 Maintenance Switch the vacuum cleaner off and pull out the mains plug before any maintenance work! For maintenance by the user, the vacuum cleaner must be -- dismantled, -- cleaned and -- maintained, as far as possible without creating any danger to the maintenance personnel or other. Precautionary measures: Suitable precautionary measures include -- Cleaning before dismantling, -- Provide local filtered positive ventilation where the vacuum cleaner is to be dismantled, -- Clean the maintenance area and -- suitable personal protection equipmentENGLISH 21 Contaminated items: When carrying out maintenance or repair work, all contaminated items which have not been ad- equately cleaned must be disposed of. Such items must be disposed of in impermeable bags in accordance with the applicable regulations concerning the disposal of such waste. Testing the effectiveness of the vacuum cleaner: There must be an adequate air exchange rate L in the room if the exhaust air returns to the room. Further information can be taken from your national regulations. If the suction of the vacu- um cleaner reduces and the cleaning procedure of the folding filter cassettes increases, the suc- tion performance is not adequate (provided that the container is empty and the fleece filter bag has been replaced) then it is necessary to replace the folding filter cassettes. 5 Cleaning Acids, alkalis and solvents can corrode the vacuum cleaner parts. Clean the container and accessories with water. Wipe the top section with a damp cloth. Allow the container and accessories to dry
