When using the vacuum cleaner, basic safety precautions
should always be observed, including the following:
1.
Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry
surfaces.
2.
Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before
connecting or disconnecting from the mains supply.

Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before
connecting or disconnecting the vacuum hose and
accessories.

Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children. Do not allow children to use as
a toy.

Use only the manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
6.
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 or plug is
damaged, return the vacuum cleaner to a Vax
Authorised Service Agent or suitably qualified
person for examination, repair or adjustment.
7.
Do not pull or carry by the cord. Do not use the cord
as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull the cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run the
vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces.
8.
Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet
hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
9.
Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use
with any openings blocked and do not restrict air
flow. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or
anything that may reduce airflow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the
body away from openings and moving parts.
11. Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches or
any hot, smoking or burning objects.

be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot
be pulled or tripped over.
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the
vacuum cleaner from the electrical outlet
before assembling, opening or emptying the dirt
container, 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. Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when
starting and in use.
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.
IMPORTANT: Washing filters improved vacuum
performance. Make sure all the filters are
completely dry before inserting back into the vacuum
cleaner.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use only
and not for commercial or industrial use.

Motor Thermostat
IMPORTANT:
The motor is equipped with a thermal
cut-out. If for any reason, the vacuum cleaner should
over-heat, 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 dirt container and empty. Clean the
filters. Allow the cleaner to cool for approximately one
(1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical outlet and
switch back on.
