DO NOT vacuum, or use this ash vacuum cleaner near flammable liquids, gases, or
explosive vapours like gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluids, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas,
hydrogen, or explosive dusts like coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, or gun power. Sparks inside
the motor can ignite flammable vapours or dust.
ATTENTION: Vacuuming materials that appear to have cooled down, may still be very hot inside.
Hot ash may ignite again with air flow. Wait until the fire is extinguished and the ashes have cooled
down before you begin with the cleaning. It is not recommended to quickly extinguish the fire with
water. Continuously check tubes, ash bag, and vacuum cleaner for excessive temperatures during
the vacuum cleaning. If you notice a temperature rise, switch off the vacuum cleaner immediately.
Disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power outlet and remove the bag. Remove the vacuumed
material from the ash bag.
CAUTION: In case of excessive temperatures, the tubes, the ash bag, or the vacuum cleaner may
be damaged. Completely empty the vacuum cleaner and the ash bag in a safe area after the vacuum
cleaning. Let both appliances (vacuum cleaner and ash bag) cool down under supervision.

material.
