MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
• Always use a P2-respirator during performing
maintenance.
• Never reuse the air filter after removal of the
machine.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
• Please check with your local authorities for any reg-
ulations regarding the use of these vacuum cleaners
when working with toxic materials such as Asbestos.
• Before any repair or maintenance always check
what materials the vacuum cleaner has been work-
ing with. If in doubt, always have professionally
cleaned by licensed asbestos / toxic cleaning com-
pany before conducting any repair or maintenance.
• A technical inspection, including inspection of
filters, air tightness, and control mechanism,
must be performed by an instructed person at
least once a year, or more frequently as may be
specified by national requirements.
• During maintenance, all contaminated items which
cannot be satisfactorily cleaned must be disposed.
Such items must be disposed of in impervious
hags which accord with your country's regulations.
• After the operation in the hazardous area, the
outside of the tool must be decontaminated by
vacuum cleaning methods and wiped clean or
treated with sealant before you take the tool out
of a hazardous area. All the parts of the tool must
be regarded as contaminated when removed
from the hazardous area, and appropriate action
must be taken to prevent dust dispersal.
• Change the air filter when the air filter is clogged with
dust or you feel that the cleaner's performance declined.
• Check the filters periodically. If there is a tear on
it, replace it immediately.

Removing the air filter

CAUTION:
• Wait for about 5 minutes so that dust in the tank
completely settles down.
• Make sure that the tool is unplugged.
• Be careful not to let the dust enter inside the
tank cover when removing the air filter.
