General Safety Information
WARNING: Always switch o 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 ‘o’ position.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked, switch o 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 lters are kept clean to obtain maximum performance from your vacuum
cleaner. Not cleaning and not replacing your lters 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 qualied person
in order to avoid hazard, or invalidating the warranty.
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If for any reason the unit should overheat (eg. from
blocked nozzles, a full dust container or unclean lters), the thermostat will automatically turn o the
switch. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical socket and turn o the switch.
Remove dirt container and empty. Clean lters. Allow the unit to cool for approximately one (1) hour.
To re-start, plug into an electrical socket and switch back on.
