Connections should be firmly made after all conductor strands are entered into the terminal posts.

When preparing the cable ends take care not to damage the outer sheath, or the insulation surrounding the inner conductors.

• Make sure that the socket is fitted to the extension cable correctly, if in doubt have it checked by a Qualified electrician.
Double Insulation
• Your vacuum cleaner is double insulated. This means that all external parts are electrically insulated from the mains. This is
done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and mechanical components, making it unnecessary for the cleaner
to be earthed.
