Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to observe the safety information and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

- This dust extractor is not intended for use by children or persons with physical, sensory or mental impairments. It should not be used by persons who have insufficient experience and knowledge. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.

- Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not play with the dust extractor.

- Comply with all safety provisions for the substances being extracted.

- Do not vacuum beech or oak wood dust, rock dust or asbestos. These substances are considered carcinogenic.

WARNING

Only use the dust extractor if you have been adequately informed about the use of the equipment, the substances to be vacuumed and how to dispose of these safely. Thorough instruction on how to use the equipment prevents accidental misuse and injuries.

WARNING

The dust extractor is suitable for vacuuming dry substances, and can also be used to vacuum liquids when taking appropriate measures. The penetration of liquids increases the risk of an electric shock.

- Do not use the dust extractor to vacuum combustible or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or solvents. Do not vacuum hot, burning or explosive dust. Do not operate the dust extractor in areas subject to explosion hazards. Dust, vapours and liquids can ignite or explode.

WARNING

Only use the socket for the purpose stipulated in the operating manual.

WARNING

If you notice a foam or water leak, switch off the dust extractor immediately and empty the container. Otherwise, the dust extractor can become damaged.

- NOTE: The dust extractor must only be stored indoors.

- NOTE: Clean the float regularly and check whether it is damaged. Otherwise, the equipment may not function properly.

- If operating the dust extractor in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD). Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

- Always check the dust extractor, cable and plug before use. Do not use the dust extractor if you discover any damage. Do not open the dust extractor yourself. It should be repaired exclusively by a qualified professional using only genuine spare parts. Damaged dust extractors, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

- Do not crush the cable or run the device over it. Do not pull on the power cable to pull the plug out of the socket or to move the dust extractor. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

- Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or performing maintenance on the dust extractor, making tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting away the dust extractor. This safety measure prevents the dust extractor from being started accidentally.

- Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.

- The dust extractor should be repaired exclusively by a qualified professional using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the dust extractor is maintained.

WARNING

The dust extractor contains dust particles that pose a risk to health. Emptying and maintenance procedures, including the disposal of dust containers, should only be carried out by professionals. Suitable protective equipment is required. Do not operate the dust extractor unless the complete filter system is correctly inserted. Otherwise, you are putting your health at risk.

- Before using the equipment for the first time, check that the vacuum hose is in perfect condition. Leave the vacuum hose fitted to the dust extractor while doing this so that no dust escapes accidentally. Otherwise, you may end up inhaling dust particles.

- Do not sit on the dust extractor. You can damage the dust extractor this way.

- Take care when using the power cable and the vacuum hose. Improper use of these can put other people at risk.

- Do not clean the dust extractor by spraying a jet of water directly at it. Water entering the top of the dust extractor will increase the risk of electric shock.

- Connect the dust extractor to a properly earthed power supply system. The plug socket and extension cable must have a fully functioning protective conductor.

- Products sold in GB only:
  Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
  If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
  The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
