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 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, 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.).

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.

20. Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the

21. Use only SAA approved 10 amp extension cords. Non-

arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be tripped over.

22. Damaged cord to be replaced by manufacturer or
authorised Vax service agent.

23. We recommend the use of a residual current device with
a residual current rating of 30mA or less.

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

PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
