Operating the vacuum
Figure 7

RED ZONE

GREEN ZONE
Check the flow rate:
–
When the vacuum cleaner is operating, the pointer of the
vacuum gauge "A" (Fig. 7) must remain in the green zone
(OK) to ensure that the speed of the intaken air does not
drop below the safety value of 20 m/s.
–
If the pointer is in the red zone (STOP), it means that the
speed of the air in the hose is below 20 m/s and that the
vacuum cleaner is not working in safety conditions. Clean
or replace the filters.
–
When the hose is blocked, the pointer of the vacuum
gauge must switch from the green zone (OK) to the red
zone (STOP).
ATTENTION DANGER!
If the vacuum cleaner is Class M or H, only use hoses with
diameters that comply with the indications in the
"Technical Specifications" Table in order to prevent the air
speed from dropping below 20 m/s.
ATTENTION DANGER!
When the vacuum cleaner is operating, always check to
make sure that the vacuum gauge pointer remains in the
green zone (OK).
Consult the "Troubleshooting" chapter if faults occur.
ATTENTION DANGER!
Class H - "Asbestos" variant:
–
this variant has a 70 mm diameter exhaust where the
exhaust hose is connected.
Only D = 70 mm is tolerated.
Only an exhaust hose with D = 70 mm and L < 5 m can
be used.
Order the exhaust hose from the Manufacturer.
–
Shut the inlet with appropriate plug (Fig. 11) when
handling (transporting) the vacuum cleaner.
–
Comply with all other prescriptions for class H vacuum
cleaners.
Shaking the main filter
Depending on the quantity of dust cleaned up, shake the main
filter by means of the knob "J" (Fig. 8) when the vacuum gauge
pointer "A" (Fig. 7) switches from the green zone (OK) to the red
zone (STOP).
ATTENTION DANGER!
Stop the machine before shaking the filter.
Do not shake the filter whilst the machine is on as this
could damage the filter itself.
Wait before restarting the vacuum cleaner, to allow the dust to
settle.
Replace the filter element if the pointer still remains in the red
zone (STOP) even after the filter has been shaken (consult the
"Main filter replacement" section).

Stopping - emergency stopping
Press the stop button "H" (Fig. 4).
Emptying the container
ATTENTION DANGER!
–
Turn off the machine and remove the plug from the
power socket before proceeding with this operation.
–
Check the Class of the vacuum cleaner.
Before emptying the container it is a advisable to clean the filter
(see "Shaking the main filter" sect.).
A.
Normal version, not suitable for treating hazardous dust
– Release the container "I" (Fig. 9), then remove and
empty it.
– Make sure that the seal is in perfect condition and
correctly positioned.
– Place the container back in position and use the lever
to secure it again.
Plastic liner:
A plastic liner (our code 40100) can be used to collect dust (Fig.
9).
In this case, the machine must be equipped with optional
accessories (grill and depressor - Fig. 9).
B.
Versions for dusts that are hazardous for the health:
Classes L - M - H, suitable for vacuuming hazardous and/
or carcinogenic dust (H class).
ATTENTION DANGER!
–
In compliance with current laws, these operations
can only be carried out by trained and specialized
personnel who must wear adequate clothing.
–
Take care not to raise the dust during this operation.
Wear a P3 protective mask.
–
A plastic liner can be used (our code 40100) if dust
that is dangerous and/or hazardous for the health
must be removed.
–
It is essential to use a safety container if Asbestos is
to be cleaned up. However, in this case the machine
must be equipped with our ABS safety container (our
code 8 30202 - 8 31365 Fig. 10) in order to dispose of
the dust.
–
The container and/or liner must only be disposed of by
trained personnel and in compliance with the current
laws in force.
