FAKIR 1800 ECO

Well, my child played with that Vacuum-cleaner and it overheated.

So I had to do this repairmanual for you.

Do not let play children with Machines. ;)

Just some comments for English speakers. I'm not dealing with spelling or awkward phrasing - I think it's clear emough. But for those that aren't sure on certain words, maybe this will help.

First tool listed is a #2 Philips-head screwdriver. So when you see PH2 screws, use your phillips screwdriver (also known as a cross screwdriver in some parts of the English-speaking world).

Step 2, middle bullet - "Pull, it knacks" literally would be cracks, which might sound negative. So "Pull, it does separate."

Step 4 (and elsewhere): turbine or motor.

Step 6, 1st bullet (& see Step 9 and elsewhere for variations) - (aluminium-)cooling or cooler = (aluminum) heat sink. [Americans don't use the 2nd i of aluminium.]

Step 6 (and elsewhere), 3rd bullet: platine = printed circuit board (I'll always refer to it as the PCB).

Part 2 of notes comes in my next comment --

Part 2 of notes here --

Step 6, 2nd bullet [I know, out of order, but I wanted to use PCB, so translated it first] - Instead of translating it "The pins are bent directly at the housing, so this destruction occured at the montage of the triac !" I would've said "The pins are bent to go into the PCB, and the destructive forces inside the triac caused the assembly ("montage") to burst open at the other end of the pins, where they enter the triac housing!"

Steps 7-8 - there is a rivet that goes through the triack, then through the heat sink, then through the PCB. For getting the rivet out, you drill with a 4mm drill bit through the rivet head, through the triac mount, and lift the triac out of the way, then continue very carefully through the heat sink. Now the PCB can be removed from the heat sink. Then switch to a 3mm bit and drill the remnants of the rivet out of the PCB.

Step 10 - "follow the steps like on the pictures, i can't explain it, sorry. Like on the pictures, you can see, do it too" becomes "Follow the pictures in steps 4-10, especially step 6 and step 10. Pins 1 and 3 get bent closer to the triac, pin 2 (the middle pin) gets bent further out ('longer') from the triac, to fit the wholes in the PCB.

Step 11, 1st bullet - use less thermal grease/compund than is shown in the picture of step 11. He said "little" and that was correct.

Step 11, 2nd bullet - Instead of riveting (if you aren't good at it you might break the PCB), he replaces it with a bolt, washer, and nut. Tighten it - but not so much you break the PCB.

Starting Step 13, you're reassembling. His CONCLUSION at the end says to do the steps in reverse order to finish - maybe he later added steps 13 to the end later and didn't remove that statement.

Step 17 Jägermeister = hunt master -- go hunting things to vacuum up?
