COMBINATION FLOOR TOOL:

•   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.

TURBO FLOOR TOOL:

•   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.

MINI PET TURBO TOOL: 

•   The mini pet turbo tool can be used with or without the extendable tube and is perfect for 

removing pet hair from furniture.

CREVICE TOOL: 

•   Use the crevice tool for tight narrow spaces. It can be attached to either the end of the 

extendable tube or the nozzle of the flexible hose.

NOTE: 

The small brush is part of the crevice tool. To store it, turn it back, parallel to the crevice 

tool.

SUCTION CONTROL

•   Different carpets/surfaces may require different levels of suction. For example, you may 

find the floor tool suction is too strong on a tight loop-pile carpet causing the tool to grip 

the surface and push surface debris along. In this instance, reducing the suction by 

opening the nozzle suction control will allow the floor tool to glide more easily over the 

carpet surface.

There are two suction controls on this vacuum cleaner:
a)   Use the nozzle suction control to reduce the grip the tools apply to the surfaces being 

cleaned.

 

Move it away from the nozzle end to reduce suction or move towards the nozzle end for 
maximum suction.

b)   Use the variable speed control on the vacuum body (min <->max) to reduce the suction 

power and volume of air being drawn into the vacuum. Use this when cleaning more 
delicate materials such as drapes. Slide the control towards the cord rewind button      to 
increase suction power; slide it towards the on/off     button to decrease suction power.

PLUG IN

CAUTION:

 If you have accidentally pressed the power on/off button,    the vacuum cleaner will 

come on when you plug it in.

•   Plug the power cord into a wall power outlet near the area to be cleaned, and switch the 

power on.

SWITCHING ON

•   Press and release the power on/off     button to turn the cleaner on.

CLEANING

•   Move the tool over the surface, cleaning a small area at a time.
•   When you move to a new area, overlap the previous area to make sure none of the 

surface is missed.
