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. Use only as described in this manual. Use only the

manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

5. Close attention is necessary when used by or near

children. Do not allow children to use as a toy.

6. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord

or plug. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water. 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.

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 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 outlet make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position. Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when starting and in use.

IMPORTANT: If the vacuum inlet or hose is blocked,

switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.

IMPORTANT: Cleaning filters improves vacuum

performance. Make sure all filters are replaced back into the vacuum cleaner before using.

IMPORTANT: The motor is equipped with a thermal

cut-out. If, for any reason, the vacuum cleaner should over-heat, 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 the dirt container and empty. Clean the filters. Allow the cleaner to cool for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into the electrical outlet and switch back on.

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