Care and maintenance

DANGER
First pull out the plug from the mains before carrying out
any tasks on the machine.
Dust extracting machines are safeguards for the pre-
vention or elimination of hazards defined in the regula-
tions of BGV A1.
– In order to carry out maintenance work, the user
must disassemble, clean and service the unit, in so
far as this is possible without endangering mainte-
nance personnel and other persons. Suitable pre-
cautions include decontamination before the unit is
disassembled. Precautions must be taken for local
filtered forced air ventilation at the place where the
unit is disassembled, the cleaning of the mainte-
nance surface and suitable protection of the per-
sonnel.
– The outside of the unit should be cleaned thorough-
ly and any harmful substances removed. Alterna-
tively, a sealed coating may be applied before the
unit is removed from the danger area. All unit parts
are to be considered contaminated when they are
removed from the danger area. To avoid distribu-
tion of the dust, you must take the appropriate
measures.
– In the framework of maintenance and repair work
all contaminated objects that cannot be cleaned
satisfactorily must be disposed of. Such objects
must be disposed of in impermeable bags in ac-
cordance with the valid provisions for the disposal
of such waste.
– When transporting or maintaining the appliance,
the suction openings must be closed with the con-
nection bushings.
WARNING
Safety equipment for preventing hazards must be ser-
viced and maintained regularly. This means that the
manufacturer's staff or persons trained by the manufac-
turer must check the equipment for proper functioning at
least once a year, i.e. check for leaks, filter damage,
functioning of the controlling elements, etc.
DANGER
You can test the filtration capacity of the device using
the test procedure specified in EN 60 335–2–69
22.AA.201.2. This test must be done at least once a
year or more frequently if the national regulations de-
mand it. If the test results are negative, the test is to be
repeated with a new flat-fold filter.
Note: Vacuum cleaners of dust class H must be main-
tained as needed, but at least once per year, repaired
as necessary and checked by a skilled expert (qualified
as per TRGS 519 Nr. 5.4.3, paragraph 2). The test re-
sult must be presented upon request.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage! Do not use detergents containing sili-
cone to clean.
– No outside help is required for carrying out basic
maintenance and cleaning.
– The appliance surface and the inside of the con-
tainer should be cleaned regularly using a damp
cloth.
DANGER
Risk due to dust hazardous to health. Always use dispos-
al clothing and P2 or higher breath-safe masks while car-
rying out maintenance tasks (such as changing filters).
Exchanging the flat pleated filter
DANGER
The dust that has been collected should be transported
in dust-proof containers. No refilling is permitted. The
waste containing asbestos is to be disposed off accord-
ing to the rules and regulations for waste disposal.
WARNING

moved from the appliance.
Non-detachable filters should only be replaced in suita-
ble rooms (so-called decontamination stations) by an
expert.
