Eletrical safety
• You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power
cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for damage.
• Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power
supply.
• Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
• Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure
that none are loose.
• Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
• to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse.
• DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
• DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
• DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
• If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is pre-
ferred since any appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should
be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for
others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.
General safety
• Disconnect the machine from the power supply before servicing, changing accessories, or performing any
maintenance.
• Use only genuine parts and accessories. Unauthorized parts and accessories may be dangerous and will
invalidate your warranty. Maintain the machine in good condition. Use only a qualified technician for re-
pair/servicing. Keep machine clean, but DO NOT use solvents. Ensure the correct paper dust bag is firmly
in place before operating the machine for dry cleaning. Wrong or no paper dust bag may cause machine
faults and will invalidate your warranty.

• DO NOT place attachments close to your face (especially eyes, ears, etc). Do not point the hose end at
other persons or animals.
• DANGER! DO NOT vacuum hot or glowing ash, cigarette ends, flammable, explosive, corrosive or other
dangerous substances.
• DO NOT operate the unit without the paper dust bag in place when dry vacuuming. (See section regarding
paper dust bags)
• DO NOT leave machine running unattended. Turn power supply OFF, and DO NOT leave the vicinity until
motor has come to a complete stop.
• DO NOT operate the cleaner while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or impairing medication, or if you
are tired.
