Important Safeguards
Read the instructions before use and keep them safe.
Pass them on if you pass the cleaner on.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1.
The cleaner must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible
adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.
2.
This appliance is NOT a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they
do not play with this appliance.
3.
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.
4.
Do not immerse the cleaner in any liquid and don’t use it anywhere damp
or wet.
5.
Don’t use the cleaner near a gas, oil (including paraffin) or open fire.
The flame may be drawn towards the cleaner causing a fire hazard.
6.
To avoid personal injury, keep hair, clothing, fingers, face, etc. away from
the brush/suction inlet of the cleaner.
7.
Do not use the cleaner to pickup any of the following:
–
do not attempt to pick up liquid –
this cleaner is designed for dry
substances only.
–
do not pick up items that may ignite spontaneously –
e.g. matches, pieces
of firelighter.
–
do not pick up anything burning or smouldering –
e.g. cigarette ends, ashes
or embers.
–
do not pick up spillage from toner cartridges –
the fine carbon particles
may pass through the filter, short circuit the motor and burn it out.
–
do not pick up cement or plaster dust –
these can combine with moisture
in the air, clog the filter, scour the bin and possibly cause the motor to
overheat and burn out.
–
do not pick up sharp objects –
they may pierce the filter and damage
the motor.
–
do not pick up biological waste –
you will eventually have to clean it off the
filter and there is a possibility of viral particles passing through the filter
and entering your air supply.
