 Before each use, check the vacuum cleaner, cable and
plug. Do not use the vacuum cleaner when defects are
detected. Do not open the vacuum cleaner yourself and
have it repaired only by qualified personnel using orig-
inal spare parts. Damaged vacuum cleaner, cables and
plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.
 Do not drive over, crush or stretch the cable. Do not
pull the cable to unplug the plug from the socket outlet
or to move the vacuum cleaner. Damaged cablesin-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
 Before maintaining or cleaning the vacuum cleaner,
making any adjustments, changing accessories or plac-
ing the vacuum cleaner aside, remove the plug from the
socket outlet. This safety measure prevents accidental
starting of the vacuum cleaner.
 Provide for good ventilation at the working place.
 Have the vacuum cleaner repaired only through quali-
fied specialists and only using original spare parts. This
ensures that the safety of your vacuum cleaner is main-
tained.
The vacuum cleaner contains materials
that are hazardous to one’s health.
Have the emptying and maintenance, incl. the disposal of
dust-collection containers, carried out only by specialists.
Appropriate protective equipment is required. Do not op-
erate the vacuum cleaner without the complete filter sys-
tem. Otherwise there is danger to your own health.
 Before restarting, check the proper condition of the
vacuum hose. When doing this, leave the vacuum hose
mounted to the vacuum cleaner to avoid dust from
coming out. Otherwise, you could possible inhale dust.
 Do not use the vacuum cleaner as a seat. The vacuum
cleaner could become damaged.
 Use the mains cable and the vacuum hose carefully.
Other persons could be harmed.
 Do not clean the vacuum cleaner with a water jet point-
ed directly at it. The penetration of water into the vacuum
cleaner lid increases the risk of an electric shock.
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 author-
ised 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 sock-
et elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
 Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must correspond with the data on the type plate
of the vacuum cleaner.
 Please inform yourself about the valid regula-
tions/laws for your country concerning the handling of
materials that are hazardous to one’s health.
 To save energy, only switch the vacuum cleaner on when
using it.
 For dry vacuuming, a dust bag should be inserted.
When using a dust bag, the folded filter remains un-
clogged longer, the vacuuming performance is main-
tained longer, and the disposal of dust is made easier.
 Remove the dust bag and empty the container before
wet vacuuming.
 The vacuum cleaner has a blower function. Do not blow
the outgoing air randomly in enclosed areas. Use the
blower function only with the a clean hose. Dusts can be
hazardous to one’s health.
 After vacuuming, remove the folded filter to prevent
the forming of mould and allow it to dry thoroughly; es-
pecially before using it for dry vacuuming.
 Operate the vacuum cleaner only with the folded filter
mounted.
 A socket outlet with earthing contact is integrated in
the vacuum cleaner. An external power tool can be con-
nected there. The vacuum cleaner is automatically put
into operation via the power tool. Observe the maximal
allowable load of the connected power tool.
 The vacuum cleaner may not be used as a water pump.
The vacuum cleaner is intended for vacuuming air and wa-
ter mixtures.
 Wipe out the container from time to time with a com-
mercially available, non-scouring cleaning agent, and
allow it to dry.
