quired length.

 Press the On/Off foot control  .
During vacuuming

When vacuuming, in particular
fine dust, e.g. dust, sand, plaster,
flour, etc., electrostatic charges build
up naturally. Under certain conditions
these charges will be released. To
avoid the unpleasant effects of these
discharges, a metal inlay has been
incorporated into the underside of
the handle. Please make sure that
you keep your hand in constant con-
tact with this metal strip during vacu-
uming (Fig. 18).
Regulating the suction power
(Fig. 19)
The suction power can be regulated to
suit the type of flooring being cleaned.
Reducing the suction power reduces
the amount of effort required to maneu-
ver the floor brush.
