If the supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by Dyson, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
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 cleaner over cable. Keep cable away from heated surfaces. To avoid a tripping hazard wind the cable when not in use.
