[. . . ] 4 Setting to work - connection to the power supply . Read the operating instructions and comply with the important safety recommendations identified by: DANGER !Before starting the vacuum cleaner, it is absolutely essential to read these operating instructions and to keep them ready at hand for consultation. The vacuum cleaner can only be used by people who are familiar with the way it works and who have been explicitly authorized and trained for the purpose. [. . . ] Do not modify the vacuum cleaner in any way. Failure to comply with these instructions could jeopardize your safety. Moreover, such action would immediately void the EC declaration of conformity issued with the vacuum cleaner. To carry out maintenance operations that are not described in this manual, contact the manufacturer's Service Centre or his sales network. Note The supplied filters and the safety container (if applicable) must be installed correctly. Comply with the safety regulations governing the materials for which the vacuum cleaner is used. Technical specifications Parameter Voltage/frequency Power rating Power rating (EN 60335-2-69) Weight Noise level Protection Insulation Capacity Inlet Max vacuum Maximum air flow rate without hose and reductions Maximum air flow rate(m 3 hose Ø 40 mm) Hoses allowed for "L" and "standard" classes Hoses allowed for "M" and "H" classes Primary filter surface ("L" and "M") Upstream absolute "H" filter surface Absolute filter efficiency according to MPPS method (EN 1822) Note - Storage conditions: - Operating conditions: T : -10 . A - Suction motor start switch; B - Mains voltage indicator light; - if the indicator light is on: the electric power is supplied; - if the indicator light is off: the electric power is cut off; C - Primary filter clogging indicator light; - if the indicator light is on: the filter is clogged; - if the indicator light is off: the filter is efficient. 118 M and 118 H operation Check the flow rate: when the vacuum cleaner is operating, the indicator light "C" (fig. 4) must be off to ensure that the speed of the intake air does not drop below the safety value of 20 msec; If the indicator comes on, it means that the speed of the air in the vacuum hose is 20 msec and that the vacuum cleaner is not operating in safety conditions. the filters must be cleaned or replaced. Close the suction hose; the indicator light "C" (fig. If the vacuum cleaner belongs to the M or H class, use only hoses with diameters that comply with the indications in the Technical data table, in order to prevent the air speed from dropping below 20 msec. When the vacuum cleaner is operating, always check that the indicator light "C" (fig. Prior to starting, check that: The filters are installed; All latches are tightly locked; The vacuum hose "A" and the accessories have been correctly fitted into the inlet "B" (fig. 4) comes on, shake the primary filter by means of the lever "A" (fig. Do not shake the filter while the vacuum cleaner is on, as this could damage the filter itself. Wait before restarting the vacuum cleaner, to allow the dust to settle. Replace the filter element if the indicator light still remains on even after the filter has been shaken (consult the "Changing the primary filter" paragraph). 118 operation The primary filter clogging causes the vacuum capacity to be reduced; therefore, it is necessary to: shake the primary filter by means of the lever "A"; if the problem persists, replace the filter (see "Changing the primary filter"). These operations can only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel who must wear adequate clothing, in compliance with the laws in force. Take care not to raise dust when this operation is carried out. [. . . ] Fit the filter into the filtering chamber, then install the split pin "D" by fitting the ring "F" to the lever "E" of the filter shaker. Install the deck "B" and fix it using the two closing hooks "A". Take care not to raise dust when this operation is carried out. Wear a P3 mask and other protective clothing plus protective gloves (DPI) suited to the hazardous nature of the dust collected, refer to the laws in force. [. . . ]
