Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. This tool
should be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock. Use only three-wire extension cords
which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-
pole receptacles which accept the tool's plug.
VACUUM CLEANER SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING! IMPORTANT READ CAREFULLY all
safety warnings and all instructions BEFORE USE.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. Before use, make sure that this cleaner must be
used by people who have been adequately
instructed on the use of this cleaner.
2. Only use the socket outlet on the cleaner for
purposes specified in the instructions.
3. If foam/liquid comes out, switch off immediately.
4. Clean the water level limiting device regularly and
examine it for signs of damage.
5. Do not use the cleaner without the filter. Replace a
damaged filter immediately.
6. USE OF EXTENSION CORD. When using an
extension cord because of the great distance to
your power source, try to employ a cord that is
sufficiently thick but not too long, or cleaner
performance will be adversely affected. For
outdoor applications use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
7. VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the
cleaner to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.)
be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the cleaner. A power
source with voltage greater than that specified for
the cleaner can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the
operator as well as damage to the cleaner. If in
doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE CLEANER. Using a
power source with voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
8. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure
switch is OFF when plugging in.
9. Do not attempt to pick up flammable materials, fire
works, lighted cigarettes, hot ashes, hot metal
chips, sharp materials such as razors, needles,
broken glass or the like.
10. NEVER USE THE CLEANER IN THE VICINITY OF
GASOLINE, GAS, PAINT, ADHESIVES OR OTHER
HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES. The switch
emits sparks when turned ON and OFF. And so
does the motor commutator during operation. A
dangerous explosion may result.
11. After vacuuming up toxic, carcinogenic or
pathogenic, or other hazardous materials such as
asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead,
pesticides, or other health endangering materials,
bring the machine to authorised institution for
cleaning and disposal of those hazardous dusts in
accordance with your country's regulation.
12. Never vacuum up combustible dusts or materials.
13. Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.
14. Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).
ENF001-1
15. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent
body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
16. Do not block cooling vents. These vents permit
cooling of the motor. Blockage should be carefully
avoided otherwise the motor will burn out from
lack of ventilation.
17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
18. DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry the cleaner by
ENB121-1
cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Inspect cleaner cords periodically and if damaged,
have repaired by authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged.
19. Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.
20. Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice poor
performance or anything abnormal during
operation.
21. DISCONNECT THE CLEANER. When not in use,
before servicing, and when changing accessories.
22. Clean and service the cleaner immediately after
each use to keep it in tiptop operating condition.
23. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep the
cleaner clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for changing accessories.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
24. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the cleaner, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized
service center. Don't use the cleaner if switch
does not turn it on and off.
25. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts.
26. STORE IDLE CLEANER. When not in use, the
cleaner should be stored indoors.
27. Be kind to your cleaner. Rough handling can
cause breakage of even the most sturdily built
cleaner.
28. Do not attempt to clean the exterior or interior with
benzine, thinner or cleaning chemicals. Cracks
and discoloration may be caused.
29. Do not use cleaner in an enclosed space where
flammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given off
by oil-base paint, paint-thinner, gasoline, some
mothproofing substances, etc., or in areas where
flammable dust is present.
30. Do not leave the cleaner cord lying on the floor
after you have finished a cleaning job. It can
become a tripping hazard or may cause damage to
the cleaner.
