persons, body parts, animals or objects.
=> Use the mains plug to guide the power cord.
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any work
on the vacuum cleaner.
Do not operate the vacuum cleaner if it is damaged.
Unplug the appliance from the mains if a fault is
detected.
For safety reasons, only authorised after-sales
service personnel are permitted to carry out repairs
and fit replacement parts to the vacuum cleaner.
Protect the vacuum cleaner from the weather,
moisture and sources of heat.
Do not pour flammable substances or substances
containing alcohol onto the filters (dust bag, motor
protection filter, exhaust filter, etc.).
The vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on
construction sites.
=> Vacuuming up building rubble could damage the
appliance.
When not in use, switch off the appliance and pull

appropriate manner.
!
Please note
The mains socket must be protected by at least a 16
amp circuit breaker.
If a circuit breaker is tripped when you switch on the
vacuum cleaner, this may be because other electrical
appliances which have a high current draw are con-
nected to the same power circuit.
To prevent the circuit breaker from tripping, select
the lowest power setting before switching the appli-
ance on, and increase the power only once it is run-
ning.

Disposal of filters and dust bags
