cleaner may be in an unsafe condition. This can result in
serious injuries and damage to property.
► Stop working, unplug the mains plug from the socket
and consult a STIHL servicing dealer.
► Operate the wet/dry vacuum cleaner upright.
► Do not cover the wet/dry vacuum cleaner to ensure
sufficient circulation of cooling air.
￭ Foam may be produced when picking up liquids. The foam
may fail to actuate the float and foam may be drawn into
the motor. The wet/dry vacuum cleaner may be damaged.
► If foam appears: Stop working, unplug the mains plug
from the socket and consult a STIHL servicing dealer.
4.8 Connecting to the power supply
Contact with live components may occur for the following
reasons:
– The connecting cable or the extension cord is damaged.
– The mains plug of the connecting cable or extension cord
is damaged.
– The socket is not properly installed.
DANGER
￭ Contact with live parts may result in electric shock. This
may result in serious or fatal injury to the user.
► Make sure that the connecting cable, extension cord
and their mains plugs are undamaged.
► Make sure your hands are dry before touching the
connecting cable, extension cord or mains plugs.
► Plug the mains plug of the connecting cable or
extension cord into a properly installed, shockproof
socket with the correct fuse rating.
￭ A damaged or unsuitable extension cord can result in
electric shock. This may result in serous or fatal injury to
people.
► Use an extension cord with the correct cross-section,
@ 16.2.
► Use a splash water protected extension cord approved
for outdoor use.

frequency of the power supply match the data on the
rating plate of the wet/dry vacuum cleaner.
