DANGER OF
ELECTROCUTION!
• Connect the vacuum cleaner
only to 230- volt alternating
current. The plug socket
should be protected with a 16-
amp fuse. If further appliances
with a high connected load are
connected to the same
electrical circuit, the safety
device can be triggered when
the vacuum cleaner is
switched on. This can be
avoided if the lowest
(minimum) suction power is
set and is only increased to
the desired level when the
engine is running.
• Connect the floor vacuum
cleaner only to an easily
accessible receptacle so that
you can unplug it quickly from
the power supply in the event
of a malfunction.
• Do not operate the floor
vacuum cleaner, if it exhibits
visible damage or the power
supply cable and/or the power
plug is defective.
• If the appliance’s power cord
is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer
or its customer service
representative in order to
avoid risks.
• The vacuum cleaner may not
be operated with an external
time switch or a separate
remote-control system.
• Do not open the housing but
leave repairs to professional
experts. Consult a specialist
workshop for this. In the
event of independently
performed repairs,
inappropriate connection or
improper operation liability
and warranty claims are
excluded.
• In the event of repairs, only
parts, which are compatible
with the original equipment
data, may be used. There are
electrical and mechanical parts
in this vacuum cleaner, which
are essential for protection
against sources of danger.
• Never grasp the power plug
with damp or wet hands.

from the power supply by
pulling the cord but always
