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
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.

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.

any openings blocked and do not restrict air-flow.
Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or anything
that might reduce airflow.

body away from openings and moving parts.

taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be
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 electrical outlet,
make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position. Hold the vacuum
cleaner firmly when starting and in use.

CAUTION: This hose contains electrical connections:

• do not use to suck up water (for vacuum cleaners only);

• do not immerse in water for cleaning;

• the hose should be checked regularly and must not be

used if damaged.

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.
