BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Check to confirm you have unpacked all of the components of your vacuum cleaner:

- Vacuum cleaner body
- Flexible hose
- Extendable tube
- Combination floor tool
- Crevice tool with small brush
- Turbo floor tool

FITTING THE HOSE

• Push the hose end into the inlet. You will hear a click as it locks into position.
• Give it a gentle tug to check it is properly locked.

POWER CORD

Pull as much cable as you need from the back of the cleaner.

A yellow band around the cable will appear when there is approximately one metre of cable left.

Stop pulling when the red band around the cable appears. This indicates that you are approaching
the cable limit.

CAUTION: Avoid extending the power cord past the red band. Pulling beyond this may result in 
damage to the cord connection.

When vacuuming larger spaces and multiple rooms you may need to turn the vacuum off and select
another power outlet.

Avoid tangling the power cord around furniture and other obstacles as it may become
a tripping hazard to you and other people.

CARRYING AND MOVING THE CLEANER

Lift the cleaner only by the carrying handle.

Do not sit it upright as it will fall over.

The vacuum cleaner should follow you as you vacuum. If you feel resistance, check the vacuum or
power cord is not tangled or caught. Pulling the vacuum under stress by the hose will cause the
hose to stretch and can damage the hose connection and power cord.

TUBES

Fit the extendable tube to the nozzle for floors, carpets or hard to reach places.

a) Push the tube release in the direction of the arrows on the release button and keep it pressed.
b) Pull out as much of the inner tube as you need and then release the button; it is best to retract

the tube for storage.

Push the wide end of the extendable tube on to the nozzle. Choose a tool and push it onto the
narrow end of the tube.

CHOOSE THE TOOL FOR THE JOB

The combination floor tool, turbo floor tool and crevice tool/small brush will fit on the nozzle or on
the end of the extendable tube. The extendable tube fits on the end of the nozzle.

The combination floor tool is usually used with the extendable tube for floors and carpets.
- Press the rear of the brush pedal to extend the bristles for hard floor coverings such as vinyl, tiles
and timber.
- Press the front of the brush pedal to retract the bristles for soft floor coverings such rugs and
carpets.

The turbo brush is normally used with the extendable tube for floors and carpets.

Slide the tab on top of the brush to  

  for floors without carpet or carpet with short pile. Slide it to  

  for rugs and long pile carpets.
