When using the hard floor cleaner, basic safety precautions should
always be observed, including the following:
1. 1. Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry surfaces.
2. Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before disconnecting or
connecting from the mains supply.
3. Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before connecting or
disconnecting the vacuum hose and accessories.
4. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
5. 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.
6. Use only as described in this manual. Use only Vax
recommended attachments.
7. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water. Do not use the
vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
8. Do not pull or carry by cord. Do not use the cord as a handle,
close a door on the cord or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners. Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep
the cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
10. Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with any
openings blocked and do not restrict airflow. Keep all openings
free of dust, lint, hair or anything that might reduce airflow.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away
from openings and moving parts.
12. Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches or any hot
ash, smoking or burning objects.
13. Do not pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter
fluid, petrol, kerosene etc.) or use in the presence of explosive
liquids or vapours.
14. Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic material (chlorine, bleach,
ammonia, drain cleaner etc.) or concrete or plaster dust.
15. Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails,
screws, coins, etc.
16. Do not use without ALL of the filters in place.
17. Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs.
18. Keep vacuuming area well lit.
19. Store the vacuum cleaner in a cool, dry area.
20. Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the vacuum cleaner.
21. Use only SAA approved 10 amp extension cords. Nonapproved

so that the cord cannot be tripped over.
22. Damaged cord to be replaced by manufacturer or authorised

WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical outlet 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 outlet, make sure the
switch is in the ‘off’ position. Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when
starting and in use.
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: Cleaning filters improves vacuum performance.
Vax recommends that your filters should be checked and
cleaned periodically. If your filters are washable make sure they are
completely dry before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out.
If for any reason the unit should overheat, the thermostat will
automatically turn the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical outlet and turn off the switch. Remove
dirt container and empty. Clean filters. Allow the unit to cool for
approximately one hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet and
switch back on.
This machine is intended for house hold use only, and NOT
for commercial or industrial use.
