Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into
water. Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a
damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or a recommended Service Agent to avoid hazard
and invalidating the guarantee.
11. Do not pull or carry by cord. Do not use the cord
as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the
vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces.
12.
Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use
with any openings blocked and do not restrict
airflow. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or
anything that might reduce airflow.
13.
Never use the vacuum on people, animals or
plants. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all
parts of the body away from openings and moving
parts.
14.
Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches
or any hot, smoking or burning objects.

(chlorine, bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner etc.).
17. Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as
glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

22. Store the vacuum cleaner in a cool, dry area.
23.
Use only CE-approved 13 amp extension cords.
Non-approved cords may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot
be tripped over.
WARNING:
Always switch off and unplug the
vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet before
assembling, removing the dust bag, or before
connecting/disconnecting the attachments.
CAUTION:
The vacuum cleaner is a very
powerful unit. Before plugging the cord into the
electrical outlet, make sure the switch is in the
‘off’ position.
IMPORTANT:
If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube
is blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner and
remove the blockage(s) before re-starting the
vacuum cleaner. See Maintenance: Clearing blockages.
IMPORTANT:
Washing filters maintains vacuum
performance. Vax recommends that they should
be checked and cleaned periodically (depending
on the level of use). Make sure all filters are completely
dry before inserting back into the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT:
The motor is equipped with a
thermal cut-out. If for any reason the unit should
overheat, the thermostat will automatically turn
the unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum
cleaner from the electrical outlet and turn off the
switch. Remove the dust bag. Clean filters. Allow the
unit to cool for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start,
plug into an electrical outlet and switch back on.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use
only and NOT for commercial or industrial use.
PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER USE.
