infl ammable atmospheres or where such atmospheres are
likely to be produced by the presence of volatile liquid or
infl ammable gas or vapour.
CONTROL / OPERATION
CAUTION!
Damage due to unsuitable mains voltage.
The appliance can be damaged as a result of being
connected to an unsuitable mains voltage.
• Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate
corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.
Starting and operating of the machine
Check that the electrical switch is switched off (in position
0). Check that suitable fi lters are installed in the machine.
Then connect the suction hose into the suction inlet at the
machine by pushing the hose forward until it fi ts fi rmly in
place at the inlet. Then connect the tubes with the hose
handle, twist the tubes in order to ensure that they are
properly fi tted. Attach suitable nozzle to the tube. Choose
nozzle depending on what type of material that is to be
picked-up. If used for dust extraction in connection
with dust producing tool then connect end of suction hose
with appropriate adapter. Connect the plug into a proper
electrical outlet. Put the electrical switch into position I in
order to start the motor.

CAUTION!
Appliance socket.
The appliance socket is designed for electrical auxiliary
equipment; see technical data for reference.
• Prior to plugging in an appliance, always switch off the
machine and the appliance that is to be connected.
• Read the operating instructions to the appliance to be
connected and observe the safety notes contained in these.
An appliance socket with earthing contact is integrated in
the machine. An external power tool can be connected
there. The socket features permanent power on, when the
electrical switch is in position
, i.e. the machine can be
used as an extension cord.
In position
the machine can be switched on and off
by the power tool connected. Dirt is picked up from the
source of dust immediately. To comply with regulations, only
approved dust producing tools should be connected.
The maximum power consumption of the connected
electrical appliance is stated in section "Specifi cations".
Before turning the switch to position
ensure that the
tool connected to the appliance socket is switched off .
Auto-Clear
The "IC" machine is equipped with an automatic fi lter
cleaning system, Auto-Clear. A frequent cleaning cycle will
automatically run during operation to ensure that suction
performance is always at its best.
If suction performance decreases or in extensive dust
applications a manually fi lter cleaning operation is
recommended:
• Switch off the machine
• Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm
of your hand.
• Turn the switch to position „I" and let the machine operate
at full speed for approx. 10 seconds with the suction hose
opening closed.
If suction power is still reduced take out the fi lter and clean
mechanically or replace fi lter.
For certain applications, like wet pick up, it is recommended
to turn off the automatic fi lter cleaning system. For details
see chapter Starting and operating of the machine.
Antistatic connection
CAUTION
The machine is equipped with an antistatic system to
discharge any static electricity that may develop during dust
pick-up.
The antistatic system is placed in front part of the motor top
and creates an earth ground connection to the inlet fi tting of
the container. For proper function the use of an electrical
conductive or antistatic suction hose is recommended.
When inserting the optional disposal bag make sure the
antistatic connection is kept.
Cooling air fi lter
To protect the electronics and motor, the machine is
equipped with a cooling air diff usor. Clean the cooling air
:
diff usor regularly.
For areas with a high concentration of fi ne dust in the
surrounding air it is recommended to equip the machine with
an optional cooling air fi lter cartridge to prevent dust from
settling inside the air channels and motor. Contact your local
sales representative.
CAUTION!
If cooling air fi lter is clogged by dust the overload protection
switch in the motor can be activated. In such case switch off
the machine, clean cooling air fi lter and allow machine to
cool for approx. 5 minutes.
Wet pick-up
CAUTION!
The machine is equipped with a water level limit system
which shuts off the machine when the maximum liquid level
is reached.
When this occurs, switch off the machine. Disconnect the
machine from the socket and empty the container. Never
pick up liquids without the water level limit system and fi lter
in place.
Picking up liquids.
• Do not pick up fl ammable liquids
• Before liquids are picked up, always remove the fi lter bag/
wastebag and check that the water level limit works
properly.
• If foam appears, stop work immediately and emty the tank.
• Clean the water level limiting device regularly and check
for signs of damage.
Before emptying the container, unplug the machine.
Disconnect the hose from the inlet by pulling out the hose.
Release the latch by pulling them outwards so that the
motor top is released. Lift up the motor top from container.
Always empty and clean the container and water level limit
system after picking-up liquids.
Empty by tilting the container backwards or sideways and
pour the liquids into a fl oor drain or similar.
Put back the motor top to the container. Secure the motor
top with the latches.
Heavy maneuvers can, by mistake, trigger the water level
limiting device. Should this happen; turn off the machine and
wait for 3 seconds to reset the device. Continue to operate
the machine afterwards.
Dry pick-up
CAUTION!
Picking up environmentally hazardous materials.
Materials picked up can present a hazard to the
environment.
• Dispose of the dirt in accordance with legal regulations.
Remove the electrical plug from the socket before emptying
after dry pick-up. Release the latch by pulling them
outwards so that the motor top is released. Lift up the motor
top from container. Filter: Check the fi lters. To clean the fi lter
you can shake, brush or wash it. Wait until the fi lter is dry
before re-starting dust pick-up. Dust bag: check bag to
ensure the fi ll factor. Replace dust bag if necessary.
Remove the old bag. The new bag is fi tted by passing the
cardboard piece with the rubber membrane through the
vacuum inlet. Make sure that the rubber membrane is
passing past the heightening at the vacuum inlet.
After emptying: close motor top to the container and
secure the motor top with the latches. Never pick up dry
material without fi lter fi tted in the machine. The suction
