If an extension cord is coiled on a cord 
reel, always unroll completely to reduce 
the risk of fire due to overheating.
When using extension cords, the 
connector and coupling must be 
waterproof or routed in such a way that 
they cannot come into contact with 
water.
Transporting the vacuum cleaner
Before transporting the container, close 
all the locks.
When transporting your unit in a vehicle, 
properly secure it to prevent turnover 
and damage to the vacuum cleaner.
Do not tilt the vacuum cleaner if there is 
liquid in the container.
Do not use a crane hook to lift the 
vacuum cleaner.
Before using
Always make sure the vacuum cleaner 
is in proper condition before starting.
Working Conditions
Warning!
Inspect the power supply cord, exten-
sion cords and plugs before and after 
each use for signs of damage or ageing. 
Never operate your vacuum cleaner 
with damaged cords or plugs.
Warning!
Never use the vacuum 
cleaner to pick up hot 
materials (hot ash, glow-
ing cigarette butts, 
matches etc.). Never vac-
uum flammable or 
combustible liquids (gasoline, thinner, 
etc.) as well as aggressive liquids 
(acids, lye) – Risk of serious or fatal 
injury from fire or explosion!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury from fire and 
explosion, never attempt 
to vacuum flammable 
explosive dust (e.g. mag-
nesium or aluminium 
dust, etc.) 
Warning!
To reduce risk of personal injury or 
death, do not vacuum hazardous or 
toxic material.
Warning!
Some dust created by sanding, ginding, 
drilling and other workshop activities 
contains chemicals known to the State 
of California and other authorities to 
cause cancer and birth defects and 
other reproductive harm. Some exam-
ples of these chemicals are:
1. lead from lead-based paint
2. crystalline silica from bricks and 
cement, other masonry products 
and many types of stone, and
3. arsenic and chromium from chemi-
cally treated lumber.
If these or similar dusts are on the sur-
faces where you are cleaning, small 
particles may become airborne as a 
result of the vacuuming process. Con-
trol dust at the source where possible. 
Use good work practices. When the 
inhalation of dust cannot be substan-
tially controlled, i.e., kept at or near the 
ambient (background) level, the opera-
tor and any bystanders should wear a 
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA 
for the type of dust encountered.
Warning!
If the substance being vacuumed is a 
commercial substance, review, under-
stand and follow all warnings and 
instructions in the product literature and 
material safety data sheet for that sub-
stance and/or consult the material 
manufacturer/supplier.
