 To prevent danger of injury to fingers during assembly or
cleaning operations wear protecting gloves.
 Do not transport the device when the motor is running.
 Switch off the machine and pull the mains
plug from the socket and make sure that
all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill before:
attaching or removing the collecting bag
−
performing maintenance and cleaning work
−
eliminating faults
−
checking the connection cable for damage and
−
entanglement during operation
transporting
−
carrying out repair work
−
leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)
−
 If the machine's filling funnel or ejection slot is blocked
switch off the motor and disconnect the mains plug before
removing material from the filling funnel or ejection slot.
 Do not touch dangerous moving parts before the machine
has been isolated from the electric supply and such moving
parts have come to a dead stop.
 The power or extension cable must be separated from the
supply mains immediately if they are damaged during use.
Do not touch the cable before it is disconnected from mains.
Do not use the machine if the cable is damaged or worn.
 Check the machine for possible damage:
Before further use of the machine the safety devices
−
must be checked carefully for their proper and intended
function.
Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do
−
not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must
be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure
perfect operation of the machine.
Damaged safety devices and parts must be properly
−
repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist
workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the
instructions for use.
Damaged or illegible safety labels have to be replaced.
−
 Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the
reach of children.
 Store the machine in a place where fuel vapours cannot

machine to cool down before storing it.
 Maintain the machine with care and keep it clean.
Electrical safety
!
 Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least
1.5 mm for cable lengths up to 25 m
2
−
2.5 mm for cable lengths over 25 m
− 2
 Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The
motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
 Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, plasticised PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
 The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
