IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

1. The cleaner must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store it out of
reach of children.

2. This appliance is NOT a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with this appliance.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

4. Do not immerse the cleaner in any liquid and do not use it anywhere damp or wet.

5. Do not use the cleaner near a gas, oil (including paraffin) or open fire. The flame may be drawn towards the
cleaner causing a fire hazard.

6. To avoid personal injury, keep hair, clothing, fingers, face, etc. away from the brush/ suction inlet of the
cleaner.

7. Do not use the cleaner to pick up any of the following:

- do not attempt to pick up liquid – this cleaner is designed for dry substances only.

- do not pick up items that may ignite spontaneously – e.g. matches, pieces of firelighter.

- do not pick up anything burning or smouldering – e.g. cigarette ends, ashes or embers.

- do not pick up spillage from toner cartridges – the fine carbon particles may pass through the filter,
short circuit the motor and burn it out.

- do not pick up cement or plaster dust – these can combine with moisture in the air, clog the filter,
scour the bin and possibly cause the motor to overheat and burn out.

- do not pick up sharp objects – they may pierce the filter and damage the motor.

- do not pick up biological waste – you will eventually have to clean it off the filter and there is a
possibility of viral particles passing through the filter and entering your air supply.

8. If using the cleaner outdoors (e.g. cleaning the car), connect it to a power outlet that is protected by a safety
switch.

9. Do not leave the cleaner unattended when plugged in.

10. To prevent damage to the power cord, avoid catching, stressing or running over the cord while vacuuming.

11. Be sure the power cord does not become a tripping hazard to you or others while vacuuming.

12. If using the cleaner to vacuum stairs, place the cleaner to avoid falling and be sure to work above the cleaner
to avoid injury should the unit fall.

13. Do not use the cleaner to vacuum people, pets or animals of any sort.

14. Unplug the cleaner and retract the cord when not in use.

15. Do not use the cleaner for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.

16. Use only the accessories supplied with the unit.

17. Do not leave the cleaner sit ting in sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays may damage the plastic.

18. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord/plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned, or been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact Customer Service for replacement, examination, repair or
adjustment.

19. There are no user serviceable parts other than the filters and external attachments/ accessories. If the
power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or similarly qualified person in order
to avoid hazard.

20. For added safety, electrical appliances should be connected to a power outlet that is protected by a residual
current device (RCD), also often referred to as a ‘Safety Switch’. Your switchboard may already incorporate
an RCD. If unsure, call an electrician for verification and fitting if necessary.
