use and trust our products.

We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion
with due care and attention placed on the
following important operating instructions:

Read all instructions thoroughly before
activating the appliance and retain them
for future reference.

Ensure that the power source to be used
is the same as the voltage requirements of
the product.

Always switch vacuum cleaner to off, then
switch off at the power outlet, then unplug
the vacuum cleaner when not in use and
prior to cleaning the dust container or
filters.

Never use the vacuum cleaner without a
dust container and motor protection filter
in place.

Never use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum
hot ashes, broken glass, sharp objects or
liquids.

Never use in the presence of explosive
liquids or vapours.

Never vacuum up inflammable or
poisonous liquids such as petrol, copier
toner or other volatile substances. Never

vacuum up acids, asbestos or asbestos

This vacuum cleaner is not intended
for use by young children or infirm
persons unless they have been adequately
supervised by a responsible person to
ensure that they can use the vacuum
cleaner safely.
