Important Safeguards
When using an electric appliance, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following: To reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Read this operating manual through completely before
working with the appliance. Keep the operating manual
safe. If you pass the appliance on to a third party, give them
the operating manual as well.
• Ensure that, the apparatus and the accessories of the
vacuum cleaner are complete when you first open the
giftbox. If there are defective parts, apply to an authorized
Fakir Service.
• Keep the packaging away from babies and children in order
to avoid the risk of suffocation.
• If there is any damage on the vacuum cleaner or power cord
or the plug, do not use the vacuum cleaner. Apply to an
authorized Fakir Service.

and glass or metal splinters or the clothes. This appliance is
not suitable to be used to pick up substances constituting a
health hazard.
• If the appliance has breakdown, it may only be repaired by
the maintenance center. Never dismantle it by yourself
blindly.
• Do not suck up surface covered with plastic, cement, stone
dust or flour.
• The appliance is operated with electrical power which
means there is in principle a risk of electric shock so that do
not touch the plug with wet hands.
• If you want to pull the plug out of the socket then always pull
directly on the plug. Never pull on the cable as this could
damage it.
• Make sure that the power cable is not bent, caught or run
over, and that it does not come into contact with heat
sources or sharp edges.
• Do not push objects into the openings of the appliance while
it is running. The appliance could overheat.

being destroyed by rain and dirt.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or other fluids and
keep it away from rain and moisture.
• Only use an extension cable that is designed for the power
requirement of the appliance.
• Never leave the appliance unattended, and use it with the
greatest of care if children or persons who cannot assess
the risks are nearby.
