• WARNING This machine is not suitable for picking up hazardous dust.
• CAUTION This machine is for indoor use only.
• CAUTION This machine shall be stored indoors only.

– Risk of explosion and fire! Do not extract:

• Sparks, glowing particles or hot dust;
• combustible or explosive materials (e.g. magnesium, aluminium, petrol, diluting agents);
• aggressive materials (e.g. acid, alkaline solutions, solvents);
• chemically reactive materials which lead to the generation of heat, acids/bases, gases, etc. (e.g. reactive two-component materials, aluminium and water).

- Observe all national safety regulations as well as the material manufacturer's specifications!

- Always use suitable protective equipment!

- If intact following a visual inspection, work in a dry environment according to instructions!

- Check the plug, the electrical outlet module, the cable and the filter regularly in order to prevent a hazard. Damaged electrical components must be replaced by an authorised service workshop only.
