In case the user comes into contact with the vacuumed product, check the cautions shown on the safety technical sheet of the product, which must be made available from the employer.

[ NOTE ]

Check the place of work and substances tolerated for the machine suitable for liquids.

CAUTION!

The machines must not be used or stored outdoors, or in damp places.

[ NOTE ]

These devices must not be used in corrosive environment.

General requirements and precautions for equipment suitable for vacuuming flammable dust

These machines are suitable to vacuum combustible dust, with the exception of magnesium dust, in areas not classified as ATEX (normal locations). They cannot be used in areas classified as ATEX (Hazardous locations).

CAUTION!

Vacuuming combustible dust presents a risk of fire and explosion. May only be used by trained personnel.

The user must be informed about the dangers related to electric current and static electricity, and the risks deriving from the physical and chemical properties of the substances in the work area.

These vacuum cleaners are designed to vacuum wet and dry particles and clean places and machines occasionally, especially in the foodstuffs, chemical, pharmaceutical and textile industries.

They can also be used to transport dry and wet particles in process machines, especially in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

They are not designed to be used for ST3 explosion class dust, that is to say dust with value of Kst > 300 bar m/s (ISO 6184/1 – IFA classification: http://staubex.ifa.dguv.de/?lang=e), nor dust with an ignition energy lower than 1 mJ.

These applications are not designed to collect explosives or chemically unstable substances.

These applications are not designed to vacuum fluids with a low flash point (Flash Point lower than 55^ C), nor for incendiary substances ( T < 200^ C).

Precautions before using the machine

Check that the machine specifications have not been modified, otherwise the Declaration of Conformity will no longer be valid.

Static electricity can cause sparks, with the consequent risk of explosion! Therefore, make sure the electrical socket and plug (the ground cable supplied, on non-electric models) are correctly grounded. The machines that are not equipped with this feature, have antistatic wheels: check that these are used on conductive floors.

Using an ohmmeter, check the electrical continuity:

1. between the inlet and end of the vacuuming accessories the resistance detected must be less than 100M ( 10^8 )

2. between the collection container and the grounding wire. In this case the measured resistance must be:

3. less than 10 Ω if the components are made of stainless steel (the possible connection points of the electrodes are handles, inlets and wheel supports)

4. less than 10 ^6 in the case of plastic container type Safe Pack (the connection point of the electrodes is on the inlet)

Check the integrity and continuity of the ground and equipotential cables (green-yellow protective conductors).

Check for loose of mechanical connections.

The machine must be turned off before connecting it to an energy source. Connect the machine to an energy source outside the ATEX Zone (unclassified zone).

Precautions when using the machine

When replacing the filter, only install original Nilfisk antistatic filters.

Do not use insulating couplings or dust collection hoses.

Do not remove hoses during operation, always wait until the machine has stopped.

Do not use plastic bags for the container. Only Nilfisk original antistatic plastic bags are allowed.

If a pre-separator must be used, check that it is well grounded. Only use antistatic hoses, both for vacuuming and connecting the pre-separator. Do not use the machine to collect large objects or particles because their collision may cause sparks.

Do not rub or hit the floor with steel tools, as they can produce sparks under friction. Only use collectors and suction caps that can be replaced with original Nilfisk antistatic spare parts to clean the floor.

Check the vacuum indicator periodically. This indication is related to the filter clogging level, therefore to the flow speed in hoses. Too slow a speed can cause dangerous stagnation of material in the hose itself.

The user must observe procedures, use methods and accessories for emptying the bin that prevent any alteration of the classification in the Zone where the plant is installed. Only replace accessories supplied by the manufacturer with original spare parts.

CAUTION!

Any accumulation of dust on the machine could represent a potential source of ignition. Clean the surface of the machine regularly.

Precautions during maintenance

Always perform the service operations and checks described in the Instructions Manual.

Check regularly, and in particular while emptying the dust container, that the filters are in good condition (included the safety metallic filter, if equipped), so as to prevent breakage, wear, damages and/or tearing of the filter cloth, which may result in dust dispersion and exhaust emission. This may generate dangerous clouds. Check that the filter is intact before using the machine as follows: vacuum fine inert dust (e.g.: talc, chalk, scagliola...) and make sure it is not blown out of the outlet.

Use antistatic vacuum hoses suitable for the type of material to vacuum. The hoses should not produce sparks or create electrostatic charges caused by the tube rubbing.

CAUTION!

Only use original Nilfisk antistatic hoses and accessories.

The antistatic hoses must be grounded to prevent electrostatic charges. Using an ohmmeter, check for the correct galvanic connection (electrical continuity) between the hoses and the accessories being used. This is to prevent the operator being exposed to fire hazards and the risk of electric shocks.

If necessary, contact Nilfisk service centre only.

CAUTION!

Do not rub non-metal parts with clothes, rags, or fabrics of any kinds (cotton, wool, synthetic, paper, etc.) that can generate dangerous electrostatic charges.

For cleaning non metal parts, use wet clothes or rags in order to reduce the electrostatic charges.

In any case, cleaning procedures must be performed outside the area that has been classified as dangerous for risk of explosion.

CAUTION!

These machines are not suitable for vacuuming aircraft fuel (Jet Fuel).

Residual Risks

After carefully considering the risks that are present in all machine operating phases, necessary measures were adopted in order to eliminate the risks for the operators, as far as possible, and/or limit or reduce the risks deriving from hazards that cannot be completely eliminated at the source.

During operations and/or maintenance, operators are exposed to certain residual risks which, due to the nature of the operations themselves, cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore the installer is responsible for providing additional information and/or hazard signals based on the location of machine installation and the material that is handled.

EC Declaration of conformity

Every machine comes with a EC Declaration of conformity. See fac-simile at the end of this document.

[ NOTE ]

The Declaration of conformity is an important document and should be kept in a safe place to be presented to the Authorities on request.
