Dropping this machine will have an effect on the accuracy and may also result in personal
injury. This machine is not a toy and must be respected.
The environment will have a negative result on its operation if you are not careful. If the air
is damp, components will rust. If the machine is unprotected from dust and debris;
components will become clogged: And if not cleaned and maintained correctly or regularly
the machine will not perform at its best.
5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that
you, as the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and
understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine
during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any
liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good
natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will
have a negative effect on the machine's performance.
If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power
tools near any flammable materials.
Beware of electric shock. Avoid contact with earthed surfaces; because they can conduct
electricity if there is an electrical fault with the power tool. Always protect the power cable
and route it away from danger.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering
the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the
tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left
unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable
location, away locked up and from children.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to
what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way)
for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job.
Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of
accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can
become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled
into the machine.
Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties
removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a nonslip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be
dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust
or fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for
longer periods must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long
breaks between uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or
a face shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions; however,
always find out what hazards are associated with the machine/work process and wear the
most suitable protective equipment available.
5. HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine
(if possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also
help if possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power
supply cable. If the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it
safely or use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you
falling. This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any
damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As
applicable; keep blades sharp; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and
emergency devices working.
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts
may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then unplug it from
the power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or
just finishing using the tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or
keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to
make certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the
machine near the switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can
operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension
leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors; use an extension lead also suitable for that
environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current
(amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance
between the power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead
will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a
power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including
alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to confirm to the
relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired
by someone qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will
ensure the tool remains safe to use.
5.2 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible
with the power supply you intend to connect it to.
These vacuum cleaners come supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed
for connection to a domestic power supply rated at 230V AC.
Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on

9.9 WATER LEVEL - FIG. 10
Note: The crevice nozzle should be used when the
water level is too high to use attachment.
To ensure the air flow is adequate, we recommend
that the end of the nozzle is not totally immersed.
When the fluids have reached the highest permittable
level in the tank, the float regulator will cover
the motor filter causing the motor to work harder, it
will become noisier, at this point turn off and empty
the tank.

10. MAINTENANCE
Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity for maintenance operations and will
keep your tools in good working condition.
The motor must be correctly ventilated during the tools operation. For this reason avoid
blocking the air inlets.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or
his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
