Safety instructions for wet and dry vacuum cleaners
Before start-up please read these instructions!
Before start-up please read the operating
instructions for your unit and comply in particular
with these safety instructions.
The warning and information signs attached to
the unit provide important information for safe
operation.
Apart from the information in the operating
instructions comply with the general safety
regulations and regulations for the prevention of
accidents.
Application
Before use, check that the unit and operating
equipment, in particular the power supply cable
and the extension lead, are in perfect condition
and are safe to operate. Do not use the unit if it
is not in perfect condition.
Never draw in explosive liquids, combustible
gases, explosive dust, undiluted acids or
solvents! This includes petrol, paint thinners and
heating oil as these form explosive vapours or
mixtures when mixed with the suction air; also
acetone, undiluted acids and solvents as these
corrode the materials used on the unit.
Do not draw in burning or glowing objects.
Do not direct the unit at people or animals.
The appropriate safety regulations must be ob-
served when using the unit in dangerous areas
(e.g. petrol stations). It is forbidden to operate
the unit in potentially explosive locations.
Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause
accidents.
Consider work area environment
Do not expose the unit to humidity. Keep work
area well lit. Do not use the unit in the presence
of inflammable liquids or gases.
Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g.
pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
For use under extreme conditions (e.g. high
humidity, when metal swarf is being produced,
etc.) electric safety can be improved by inserting
an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage
circuit-breaker.
Keep children away
Do not let children come into contact with the unit
or extension cord. Keep all people away from the
work area.
Extension cords for outdoor use
When the unit is used outdoors, always use
extension cords intended for outdoor use and
marked accordingly.
Store idle unit
When not in use, the unit must be stored in a dry
place and locked up securely, out of reach of
children.
Do not abuse cord
Never carry the unit by its cord or pull it to
disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Check for damaged parts
Before using the unit, carefully check it for
damage to ensure that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for
misalignment and seizure of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. Have damaged guards
or other defective parts repaired or replaced as
instructed.
Do not use the unit if the switch is defective.
Have the switch replaced by an authorized
DeWALT repair agent.
