with opening blocked. Keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
else that could reduce the flow of air.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or
charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conduc-
tive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or
bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short circuit.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery packs.
Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Before starting work, the operating staff must be informed on and
trained within:
• use of the machine
• risks associated with the material to be picked up
• safe disposal of the picked up material
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This mobile dust extractor is designed, developed and rigorously tested
to function efficiently and safely when properly maintained and used in
accordance with the following instructions.
The vacuum cleaners described in this operating manual are suitable for
• commercial use, e.g. in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops,
offices and rental businesses.
• industrial use, such as e.g. plants, construction sites and workshops.
• for separation of dust with an exposure limit of greater than 1 mg/
m³, (dust class L).
WARNING: This machine is for dry use only.
The following materials should not be picked up by the vacuum cleaner
• hazardous dusts which belong to the classes M and H
• hot materials (burning cigarettes, hot ash, etc.)
• flammable, explosive, aggressive liquids (e.g. petrol, solvents, acids,
alkalis, etc.)
• flammable, explosive dust (e.g. magnesium or aluminium dust, etc.)
For Dust Class L machines (with type designation -0L, -2L) following
applies:
• The appliance is suitable for picking up dry, non-flammable dust,
hazardous dusts with OEL value > 1mg/m³.
• Dust Class L (IEC 60335-2-69)
• The dusts which belong to this class have OEL values > 1mg/m³
• For machines intended for the Dust Class L, the filter material is
tested. The maximum degree of permeability is 1% and there is no
special requirement for disposal.
• For dust extractors, ensure adequate air change rate L, when the
exhaust air is returned to the room.
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention
regulations valid in the country of use, observe recognised regulations for
safety and proper use.
Accidents due to misuse can only be prevented by those using the
machine.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
Any other use is considered as improper use. The manufacturer accepts
no liability for any damage resulting from such use. The risk for such use
is borne solely by the user. Proper use also includes proper operation,
servicing and repairs as specified by the manufacturer.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the
battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of
overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from
the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the battery pack
where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture Store
the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition Every six months of
storage, charge the pack as normal.
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the appliance before
being charged;
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the appliance and safely
disposed of.
If the appliance is to be stored unused for a long period, the batteries
should be removed.
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local,
national and international provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject
to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport
are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the
process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to pre-
vent short circuit. Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement
within packaging. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
Check with forwarding company for further advice
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will stop for about 2 seconds and
then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme
circumstances, the internal temperatur of the battery could become to
high. If this happens, the battery will shut down.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery
pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash until
the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off, the work may
continue.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Only use the appliance if it is in perfect condition. Never use the dust
extractor without a filter, or if the filter is damaged.
Do not use any unsafe work techniques.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Discard filter elements, filter bags and disposal bags in accordance with
the national regulations.
CAUTION: This machine is for indoor use only.
Provide for good ventilation at the working place.
If the machine is not working properly or has been dropped, damaged,
left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center or dealer.
MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND REPAIR
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the appliance.
Only carry out maintenance work described in the operating instructions.
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
The detachable parts (include dust collector) should be removed for
cleaning.
Clean dust and debris from tool. Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of
oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool since
certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other
insulated parts. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around
tools.
Depending on the number of running hours – the dust filter should be
renewed. Keep the machine clean with a dry cloth, and a small amount
of spray polish.
Never spray water on to the upper section of the vacuum cleaner. Danger
for persons, risk or short-circuiting.
For user servicing, the machine must be dismantled, cleaned and
serviced, as far as is reasonably practicable, without causing risk to the
maintenance staff and others. Suitable precautions include decontami-
nation before dismantling, provision for local filtered exhaust ventilation
where the machine is dismantled, cleaning of the maintenance area and
suitable personal protection.
During maintenance and repair work all contaminated parts that could
not be cleaned satisfactorily must be:
• Packed in well sealed bags
• Disposed of in a manner that complies with valid regulations for such
waste removal.
The appliance should be regularly inspected by a qualified service techni-
cian. For example, check the filters for damage and check the airtightness
of the appliance and the proper functionality of the control mechanism.
