Operation
Pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning or per-
u
forming maintenance on the vacuum cleaner, making
tool adjustments, changing accessories or putting
away the vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents
the vacuum cleaner from being started accidentally.
When operating the dust extractor, ensure that the lockable
castors on the dust extractor are blocked to prevent the dust
extractor from rolling away unintentionally. Test the correct
functioning of the castors on the relevant surface before op-
eration.
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must correspond with the information on
the type plate of the dust extractor. Chargers labelled as
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Make sure you inform yourself about the applicable
u
regulations/laws on how to handle harmful types of
dust in your country.
The dust extractor may be used for vacuuming and extract-
ing the following materials:
– Dusts with an exposure limit of > 1 mg/m
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
The dust extractor must categorically not be used in poten-
tially explosive areas.
