Caution!
Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear,
depending on the type of hard floors you have
(e.g. rough, rustic tiles). Therefore, you must check
the underside of the floor tool at regular intervals.
Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp edges
that can damage sensitive hard floors, such as parquet
or linoleum. The manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for damage caused by worn floor tools.

If you are vacuuming up larger particles, make sure that
you vacuum them up successively and carefully to
ensure that the vacuum channel of the floor tool do not
become blocked.If necessary, you should raise the
nozzle in order to better vacuum up the dirt particles.
