Safety Precautions; Accessories And Spare Parts - Protool VCP700 E-LVCP700 E-M Betriebsanleitung

Safety precautions

Only allow the vacuum cleaner to be used by
persons who have been trained in its use and who
have been explicitly authorized to use it.
Despite its simple handling the vacuum cleaner is
not suitable for children.
The use of the vacuum cleaner is subject to valid
national regulations. Besides the operating instruc-
tions and the binding accident prevention regula-
tions valid in the country of use, observe recognized
regulations for safety and proper use.
Do not use any unsafe work techniques.
Inspect power cord regularly to detect signs of
damage, e.g. cracks or ageing.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
PROTOOL-Service or an electrician to avoid danger
before use of the vacuum cleaner is continued.
Use only the type of power cord specified in the ope-
rating manual.
Do not damage the power cord (e.g. by moving over
it or pulling or crushing it). Disconnect the power
cord by pulling the plug only (do not pull or tug the
power cord). Inspect the vacuum cleaners to ensure
that they are in proper condition. Plugs and couplings
in power cords must at least have splash protection.
Never use the vacuum cleaner if the filter element is
damaged.
If foam starts to generate or a fluid starts to flow out
from the vacuum cleaner, suspend the operation
immediately, switch off the appliance, and empty the
container intended for impurities.
Regularly clean the level indicator hose to limit the
water level and check that they are not damaged.
See section "Applications and techniques" for infor-
mation on handling liquids and (hazardous) dust.
Check the rated voltage of the vacuum cleaner before
connecting it to the mains supply system. Ensure
that the voltage shown on the rating plate corres-
ponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.
If you are using an extension cord, use only those
specified by the manufacturer or higher quality ones
(see section "Technical data").
It is recommended that the vacuum cleaner should
be connected via a residual current circuit breaker.
This stops the supply of electricity if the leakage
current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or it has
an earth tester circuit.
When using an extension lead, check the minimum
cross-sections of the cable:
Cable length
< 16 A
∅ 1.5 mm
up to 20 m
∅ 2.5 mm
20 to 50 m
Arrange the electrical parts (sockets, plugs and
couplings) and lay down the extension lead so that
the protection class is maintained.
Never spray water on to the upper section of the
vacuum cleaner. Danger for persons, risk or short-
circuiting.
The vacuum cleaner is not allowed to be used at low
temperatures outdoors.
Observe the latest edition of the IEC regulations.
Tool socket
Use the socket on the vacuum cleaner for the
purpose defined in the operating instructions only.
Before plugging an appliance into the appliance
socket:
1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner
2. Switch off the appliance to be connected.
CAUTION! Follow the operating instructions and
safety instructions for appliances connected to the
power tool socket.
Maintenance, cleaning and repair
Only carry out maintenance work described in the
operating instructions.
Always pull out the mains plug before cleaning and
maintenance of the vacuum cleaner.
During maintenance and cleaning, handle the
vacuum cleaner in such a manner that there is no
danger for maintenance staff or other persons.
In the maintenance area
- use filtered compulsory ventilation
- wear protective clothing
- clean the maintenance are so that no harmful
Before removing the vacuum cleaner from the area
contaminated with harmful substances:
- clean the outside of the vacuum cleaner, wipe it
- and avoid spreading deposited harmful dust.
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
A dust test must be performed at least once every
year by PROTOOL service or a trained person. This
test includes, for example, whether there is damage
to the filter, the vacuum cleaner is sealed to the air
and the control equipment works properly.
