IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your Hoover HSV 40 Cordless Vacuum, basic safety precautions should
always be adhered to, including the following:
Always disconnect from the mains supply when cleaning.
To disconnect, hold plug and pull from wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
Replace/clean the filter when necessary.
Empty the dust bag when full (make sure unit is not connected to electricity).
Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not pick up hot coals, cigarette butts, matches or any hot, smoking or
burning objects. Do not vacuum plaster powders and lime or cement
especially in a dusty room when decorating.
Do not pick up hard or sharp objects such as nails, screws, coins, etc.
Do not use without filter in place.
Do not use flammable or combustible materials.
Switch unit off before plugging or unplugging vacuum cleaner.
Avoid getting electrical parts (e.g. motor) wet.
Make sure that the filter is securely attached before vacuuming. Forgetting
the filter will allow dust to enter the motor section and could damage the
vacuum cleaner.
Do not operate if cleaner appears to be faulty.
Never attempt to open any part or dismantle the controls.
Responsibility for failure cannot be accepted if this instruction has been
ignored.
Do not block the flow of air. Blocking the suction or allowing the dust to clog
the hose will decrease the efficiency.
Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near or by
children.
Never use the appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
has malfunctioned or been damaged in any way.
Do not allow unit to be exposed to rain or moisture.
