Safety information for vacuum cleaners

Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to observe the safety information and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

WARNING

Never vacuum material that contains asbestos. Asbestos is a carcinogenic substance.

WARNING

Only use the vacuum cleaner if you have been adequately informed about the use of the equipment, the substances to be vacuumed and how to dispose of these safely. Thorough instruction on how to use the equipment prevents accidental misuse and injuries.

WARNING

The vacuum cleaner is suitable for vacuuming dry substances, and can also be used to vacuum liquids when taking appropriate measures. The penetration of liquids increases the risk of an electric shock.

WARNING

Only use the socket for the purpose stipulated in the operating manual.

WARNING

If you notice a foam or water leak, switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately and empty the container. Otherwise, the vacuum cleaner can become damaged.

WARNING

The dust extractor contains dust particles that pose a risk to health. Emptying and maintenance procedures, including the disposal of dust containers, should only be carried out by professionals. Suitable protective equipment is required. Do not operate the vacuum cleaner unless the complete filter system is correctly inserted. Otherwise, you are putting your health at risk.

Products sold in GB only:

Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
