it clicks into place.
• Click the wand handle into the top of the vacuum cleaner.
• Attach the tools to the vacuum cleaner and wind the cable counter-clockwise
around cable hooks and secure with clip.
USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER
Unwind the cable and inser t the plug into a suitable socket.
Hold the cleaner head down with your foot and pull the handle downwards.
To switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ press the power but ton in front of the handle.
C AUTION:
• Do not allow the vacuum cleaner to be used by anyone who may not be able
to operate it safely.
• The use of an extension cable is not recommended.
• Always switch off and unplug before performing maintenance on your
vacuum cleaner.
• When returning to the upright position, ensure that the wand and clear bin
assembly are fully upright before releasing the vacuum cleaner.
• Ensure the cyclone is secured to the vacuum cleaner. Do not press the cyclone
release button or shake the vacuum cleaner while carr ying or it could fall and
cause injury.
• Store the vacuum cleaner indoors. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use with the
cable coiled safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids
electric shock could occur.
• Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work
other than that shown in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Customer
Care Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE:
• This vacuum cleaner is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster
dust or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objec ts, small toys, pins,
paper clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum cleaner.
• If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with
a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could
damage delicate floors.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. Some carpets will fuzz
if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend
vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains supply. To
minimise any effec t from this, do not put you hand or insert any object into the
clear bin unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water. (See
‘Clear bin cleaning’ section.)
CARPETS/HARD FLOORS
When you switch the machine on for the first time, the brush bar
will default to ON (spinning). The brush bar will automatically stop if
it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer
to the “Clear brush bar obstructions” sec tion. To switch the brush bar
OFF (eg. for use on hard floors), recline the vacuum cleaner and turn the
brush bar ON/OFF control on the cleaner head to the OFF position. The
brush bar will remain OFF until it is turned back to ON at a later date.
HIGH-REACH CLEANING

• Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ - please take care.

• Ensure vacuum cleaner is in upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE:
• To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube until the
wand releases from the vacuum cleaner. Tools can be attached to either the hose
or wand.

release button.
• The British Allergy Foundation is a UK national charity with the aim of improving
awareness, prevention and treatment of allergies. Do not use the vacuum
