hose (2), as required.

Floor brush (10)

You will probably work most frequently with the ﬂoor brush. This is suitable for cleaning

wide areas. The ﬂoor brush is ﬁtted with a practical 360° joint. This ensures that you

can reach easily into any corner.

Vacuuming

• When operating the appliance, make sure that the hose is not trapped, twisted or

plug into the mains socket. The yellow

mark on the electric ﬂex cable is the maximum length that must not be exceeded.

Note: In a few cases there may be a

“whistling” sound at the start. This is not a fault and the sound goes away after a time.

WARNING! Do not suck up toner, plaster, cement, stone dust or drill dust. The sucking up of these materials blocks the ﬁlter

Regulating the suction power (ﬁg. F)

The manual air inlet valve (5) allows you to

vary the amount of suction depending on the task at hand. The wider the valve is

opened, the less the suction power and

vice-versa.

• Follow this procedure in reverse when the dust bag is full and requires emptying.

Note: The VM1200 vacuum cleaner has a system that prevents the unit operating with the dust bag uninstalled, if the dust bag is improperly inserted the front cover can not be closed, causing the device to fail to operate. Always make sure the dust bag is properly installed.
