General Safety Information
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical socket before assembling, opening
or emptying the dirt container, or before connecting/
disconnecting the attachments.
CAUTION: The vacuum cleaner is a very powerful unit.
Before plugging the cord into the electrical socket, make sure
the switch is in the ‘off’ position.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked,
switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the blockage(s)
before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Vax recommends the use of Residual Current
Device Rating of 30mA or less.
IMPORTANT: It is very important that filters are kept clean
to obtain maximum performance from your vacuum cleaner.
Not cleaning and not replacing your filters regularly can
reduce the suction power and cause overheating and
permanent damage to the vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid hazard, or invalidating the warranty.
