temperature, as the accessories brush against the floor surface and furnishings. The vacuum hose
channels the air into the collection tank, where the dust and solid residues are trapped by filters. The
appliance must only be used for this purpose.

effective against accidents and is fundamental in order to implement any prevention programme.
