2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important!
The following indications are, by themselves, not enough to fully protect against all
the hazards that could arise during vacuum cleaner operation. These will have to be
integrated with common sense and the experience of the operator, both of which are
crucial factors for preventing accidents.
Each section of this manual lists further specific safety precautions for the various
operations.
Maintenance jobs must always be performed with the power plug detached from the
power point.
The employer must inform and train the user according to the provisions of applicable laws.
Before using the machine, prepare and train yourself by reading this manual carefully. Use
of the machine by untrained and unauthorised persons is forbidden.
Using the machine to vacuum toxic substances is forbidden unless this has been equipped
with special filters required for the specific type of dusts. Such filters must be explicitly
requested by you.
Do not vacuum flammable materials or substances or which could cause explosions (fuels,
solvents, etc.). To vacuum such materials, the machine must be built with Anti-explosion
Motor and Electric System and this must be requested by you explicitly.
Do not vacuum corrosive substances unless the machine is equipped with containers
suitable for this purpose (Stainless-steel AISI 304).
Use of the machine without the supplied filters is not recommended.
If the filters are correctly fitted, the machine will not eject any objects.
If the machine is used to vacuum toxic-harmful substances, the container must be emptied
and the filters cleaned using adequate individual protection devices, selected according to
the type of substances to be vacuumed.
Never rest miscellaneous materials on the horizontal protection guard.
The machine casing containing moving parts must not be removed by the user.
When using the machine, mind other people, especially children.
Use the machine cautiously on slopes and ramps. Do not change direction on gradients.
Make sure the parked machine remains stable by operating the braked wheel.
