Precautions and safety regu-
lations when using the vacu-
um cleaner
Before start-up
Inspect power cord regularly 
to detect signs of damage, e.g. 
cracks or ageing.
If the power cord is damaged, 
it must be replaced by Nilfisk 
Advance Service or an electri-
cian to avoid danger before 
use of the vacuum cleaner is 
continued.
Use only the type of power 
cord specified in the operating 
manual.
Do not damage the power cord 
(e.g. by moving over it or pulling 
or crushing it).
Disconnect the power cord by 
pulling the plug only (do not pull 
or tug the power cord).
Inspect the vacuum cleaners to 
ensure that they are in proper 
condition. Plugs and couplings 
in power cords must at least 
have splash protection.
Never use the vacuum cleaner if 
the filter element is damaged.
Picking up liquids
If foam develops or liquid 
emerges, stop work immediately 
and empty the dirt tank.
Regularly clean the built in float 
(IVB 3-M) and level indicator 
hose (IVB 5-M/7-M) to limit the 
water level and check that they 
are not damaged.
See section 5 for information on 
handling liquids and (hazard-
ous) dust.
Electrical components
Check the rated voltage of the 
vacuum cleaner before con-
necting it to the mains supply 
system. Ensure that the voltage 
shown on the rating plate cor-
responds to the voltage of the 
local mains power supply.
If you are using an extension 
cord, use only those specified 
by the manufacturer or higher 
quality ones (see section 9.4 
„Technical data“).
It is recommended that the 
vacuum cleaner should be con-
nected via a residual current 
circuit breaker. This stops the 
supply of electricity if the leak-
age current to earth exceeds 30 
mA for 30 ms or it has an earth 
tester circuit.
When using an extension lead, 
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length
m
Cross section
<16 A
<25 A
up to 20 m
ø1.5mm²
ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m
ø2.5mm²
ø4.0mm²
Arrange the electrical parts 
(sockets, plugs and couplings) 
and lay down the extension lead 
so that the protection class is 
maintained.
Never spray water on to the 
upper section of the vacuum 
cleaner. Danger for persons, 
risk or short-circuiting.
Observe the latest edition of the 
IEC regulations.
Dust Class M (medium). 
The dusts which belong 
to this class are: dusts 
with OEL values > 0.1 mg/m³ as 
well as saw dust. The machine is 
tested in its entirety by vacuums 
for this dust class. The maximum 
degree of permeability is 0.1% 
and the disposal must be low 
dust.
