cognise the consequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the vacuum
cleaner unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the vacuum cleaner
without supervision if they have been shown how to use it in a safe
manner. Children must be able to understand and recognise the pos-
sible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the vacuum
cleaner unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the vacuum cleaner and
do not let them play with it.
 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children

suffocate.
Technical safety
 The vacuum cleaner operates at 25.2V / 25.69V.
It is classified as a class III appliance .
This appliance is supplied by a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) power
source where the voltage is low enough to protect users from the risk
of electrical shock. A Class II charger is used for supplying power to
charge the vacuum cleaner .
 Compare the connection data on the data plate of the charger
(voltage and frequency) with that of the mains electricity supply. This
data must match exactly. Without modifications, the charger is suit-
able for 50Hz and 60Hz.
