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 or disconnecting from the mains
supply.

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

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.

use with any openings blocked and do not
restrict air flow. Keep all openings free of dust,

n the unit off. Remove the dirt

container and empty

oximately one (1) hour. To
