General notes on safety

Please read the following safety
guidelines in order to avoid risk of
fire, electric shock, personal injury
and damage to objects:
To avoid accidents and injuries:
• Never leave a machine which is ready
for operation unattended at the work-
place.
• People and animals must not be vacu-
umed with the machine.
• Do not aim the suction hose and noz-
zle at yourself or others during use,
particularly not at the eyes and ears;
there is a risk of injury.
• Do not vacuum any hot, incandescent,
flammable, explosive materials, or
those which endanger health. This in-
cludes hot ashes, petrol, solvents, acids
or caustic solutions. Personal injury
could occur.
• Nozzles and suction tubes must not
reach head level whilst in use. Personal
injury could occur.
To avoid accidents and injuries
from electric shocks:
• Ensure that the mains cable is not
damaged by being pulled over sharp
edges, by jamming, or by pulling on
the cable.
• Before each use, check the power sup-
ply lead and the extension cable for
damage and ageing. Do not use the
equipment if the cable is damaged or
worn. Danger of electric shock hazard.
• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent hazards.
• Switch the machine off and pull the
plug under the following circumstances:
- when you are not using the device,
- transporting it or leaving it unat-
tended;
- when you are checking the device,
cleaning it or removing blockages;
- when you are carrying out cleaning
or maintenance work or replacing
accessories;
- when the power or extension cable
is damaged; after contact with for-
eign bodies or in case of abnormal
vibration.
• Never use the mains lead to pull the
plug out of the socket or to pull the
appliance. Protect the mains lead from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Make sure that the mains voltage cor-
responds with the information on the
rating plate.
• Only plug the appliance into a socket
which is safeguarded by at least 16 A.
• The device must only be connected to
a mains socket via a residual-current
circuit breaker (RCD) with a rated leak-
age current of not more than 30 mA.
The following states how damage
to the appliance and possible in-
jury to people can be avoided:
• Ensure that the machine is correctly
assembled and the filters are in the cor-
rect position.
• Do not use without the filter. This could
damage the machine.
• Only use original spare parts and ac-
cessories delivered and recommended
by our Service Centre (see "Spare
parts/Accessories"). The use of parts
by other manufacturers immediately
renders the guarantee void.
• Only have repairs carried out at our
authorised customer service points.
• Observe the instructions for cleaning
