7. Do not pull or carry by cable, use cable as a handle, close a door on cable, or pull cable around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the Dyson vacuum over cable. Keep cable away from heated surfaces. To avoid a tripping hazard rewind the cable when not in use.

13. Turn off all controls before unplugging.

15. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as petrol, or use in areas where they or their vapours may be present.
16. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
