Foreseeable misuse Never sweep or suction up explosive liquids, gases, non-diluted acids or solvents (e.g. petrol, paint thinner, heating oil) because they form explosive vapours or mixtures in conjunction with the suction air. Never sweep or suction up acetone, non-diluted acids or sol- vents, as they will corrode and damage the materials used on the device. Never sweep or suction up reactive metal dusts (e.g. aluminium, magnesium, zinc). They form explosive gases in conjunction with highly alkaline or acidic cleaning agents. Do not sweep or suction up burning or smouldering objects. There is a risk of fire. Do not sweep up any harmful substances. Standing in hazard zones is prohibited. Operation in explosive spaces is prohibited. Carrying passengers is prohibited. This device must not be used to push/pull or transport objects.

Do not place tools or similar items on the battery. Risk of short- circuit and explosion. Smoking and naked flames must be strictly avoided. Rooms where batteries are charged must have good ventilation as highly explosive gas is emitted during charging. DANGER Risk of acid burns Use caution with leaking batteries (sulphuric acid may leak). DANGER Risk of injury! Ensure that wounds never come into contact with lead. Always clean your hands after working on batteries. 몇 WARNING Environmental risk due to improper disposal of batteries Ensure that defect or used batteries are disposed of safely (con- tact a waste management company or Kärcher Service). Procedures in the event of unintentional release of battery acid When used normally, and when observing the instructions, lead- acid batteries do not pose any risk. However, keep in mind that lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid which can cause serious chemical burns and corrosion.

1. If there is spillage or, if the battery is leaking, acid is escaping,

lay down a binding agent such as sand. Do not let it reach the sewer system, soil or a body of water.

2. Neutralise the acid with lime/baking soda and dispose of it ac-

cording to local regulations.

3. Contact a waste management company to dispose of faulty

4. Rinse out your eyes or rinse off your skin with copious

amounts of fresh water if acid splashes into your eyes or onto your skin.
