vacuuming dry substances, and
can also be used to vacuum liquids when taking appropri-
ate measures. The penetration of liquids increases the risk
of an electric shock.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum combustible
u
or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or
solvents. Do not vacuum hot or burning dust. Do not
operate the vacuum cleaner in areas subject to explo-
sion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can ignite or ex-

mediately and empty the container. Otherwise, the va-
cuum cleaner can become damaged.
NOTE: The vacuum cleaner must only be stored in-
u
doors.
NOTE: Clean the liquid fill level sensors regularly and
u
check whether they are damaged. Otherwise, the
equipment may not function properly.
If operating the vacuum cleaner in a damp location is
u
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD). Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Connect the vacuum cleaner to a properly earthed
u
power supply system. The socket and extension cable
must have a fully functioning protective conductor.
Always check the vacuum cleaner, cable and plug be-
u
fore use. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if you dis-
cover any damage. Do not open the vacuum cleaner
yourself. It should be repaired exclusively by a quali-
fied professional using only genuine spare parts. Dam-
aged vacuum cleaners, cables and plugs increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not crush the cable or run the device over it. Do not
u
pull on the power cable to pull the plug out of the
socket or to move the vacuum cleaner. Damaged
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or per-
u
forming maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making
tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting
away the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents
the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
u
The vacuum cleaner should be repaired exclusively by
u
a qualified professional using only genuine spare
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the vacuum
cleaner is maintained.
The vacuum cleaner contains dust
WARNING
particles that pose a risk to health.
Emptying and maintenance procedures, including the
disposal of dust collectors, should only be carried out by
professionals. Suitable protective equipment is re-
quired. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner without the
complete filter system. Otherwise, you are putting your
health at risk.
Before using the equipment for the first time, check
u
that the vacuum hose is in perfect condition. Leave
the vacuum hose fitted to the vacuum cleaner while
doing this so that no dust escapes accidentally. Other-
wise, you may end up inhaling dust particles.
Do not sit on the vacuum cleaner. You can damage the
u
vacuum cleaner this way.
Take care when using the power cable and the vacuum
u
hose. Improper use of these can put other people at risk.
Do not clean the vacuum cleaner by spraying a jet of
u
water directly at it. Water entering the top of the va-
cuum cleaner will increase the risk of electric shock.
