cut-out. If for any reason, the vacuum cleaner should
over-heat, the thermostat will automatically turn the unit

the wall outlet and turn off the switch. Open the unit
and check the dust bag. If full, replace. Wash the foam
filter sleeve. Allow the cleaner to cool for approximately
one (1) hour.

2. Safety Information

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety
precautions should always be observed, including
the following:

1. Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on
dry surfaces.

2. Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before
connecting to or disconnecting from the mains
supply.

3. Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before
connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose.

4. Close attention is necessary when used by or
near children. Do not allow children to use as
a toy.

5. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

6. 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 or
plug is damaged, return the vacuum cleaner to a
Vax Authorised Service Agent or suitably qualified
person for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. Do not pull or carry by the cord. Do not use
the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord
or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run the vacuum cleaner over the cord.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

8. Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet
hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

9. Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use
with any openings blocked and do not restrict air
flow. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or
anything that may reduce airflow.

10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of
the body away from openings and moving parts.

11. Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches
or any hot, smoking or burning objects.

12. Do not pick up flammable or combustible materials
(lighter fluid, petrol, kerosene, etc) or use in the
presence of explosive liquids or vapours.

13. Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic material
(chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc).

14. Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as
glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

15. Do not use without the filters in place.

16. Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs.

17. Keep vacuuming area well lit.

18. Store the vacuum cleaner indoors in a cool,
dry area.

20. Use only CE-approved 13 amp extension cords.
Non-approved extension cords may overheat.
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that
the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical outlet before assembling,
opening or replacing the dust bag, 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 or hose is blocked, switch off
the vacuum cleaner and remove the blockage(s) before
re-starting the vacuum cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Replacing filters and changing the dust
bag improves vacuum performance. Make sure the
foam filter sleeve is completely dry before inserting
back into the vacuum cleaner.

This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use
only and not for commercial or industrial use.
