User manual NILFISK 118 H

[. . . ] Do not carry out any operation that could jeopardize the safety of people, property and the environment. Comply with the safety indications and prescriptions in this instruction manual. Vacuum cleaners for dust harmful to health are classified according to the following dust classification: 1 - L (low risk) suitable for separating dust with an exposure limit value of over 1 mg/m3, depending on the volume occupied; 2 - M (medium risk) suitable for separating dust with an exposure limit value of over 0. 1 mg/m3, depending on the volume occupied; 3 - H (high risk) suitable for separating all dusts with an exposure limit value lower than 0. [. . . ] 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. 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. In order to dispose of dusts that are dangerous and/or hazardous to health, a plastic bag (code 40100) or an ABS safety container (code 8 30202 - 8 31685) can be used. The container and/or bag must only be disposed of by qualified personnel and in compliance with the laws in force. Before proceeding with these operations, turn off the vacuum cleaner and remove the plug from the power socket. Before emptying the container it is advisable to clean the filter (see "Shaking the main filter" paragraph). [. . . ] This product can not be disposed of together with other commercial waste. If the hose is damaged, broken or badly connected to the unions, it must be replaced. When sticky materials are treated, check for possible clogging along the hose, in the inlet and on the baffle plate inside the filtering chamber. Scrape the inlet from the outside and remove the deposited waste as indicated in figure 15. [. . . ]
