Anti-static system
Static charges are discharged through the
earthed connection nozzles. This prevents
sparking and electric shocks with electrical-
ly conductive accessories approved by the
manufacturer.
Filter detection

tection. The indicator light "H filter present"
lights up red if the secondary filter element
(H filter) is missing. The device cannot be
started.
Note
Fit the H filter correctly into the device (see
chapter Replacing the H filter).
