manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
6.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord
or plug. Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into
water. 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.
12. Do not pick up flammable or combustible materials
(lighter fluid, petrol, kerosene, etc) or use in the

20. Use only CE-approved 13 amp extension cords. Non-

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
outlet make sure the switch is in the ‘off’ position.
Hold the vacuum cleaner firmly when starting and in
use.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet or hose is blocked,
switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the
blockage(s) before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning filters improves vacuum
performance. Make sure all filters are replaced
back into the vacuum cleaner before using. Vax
recommends cleaning the pre-motor filter every
month and the exhaust filter every 9-12 months.
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use only
and not for commercial or industrial use.
PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FURTHER 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.
