6. Use only as described in this manual. Use only Vax recommended attachments.
7. 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.

Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be tripped over.
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical socket 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 socket,
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.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning filters maintains vacuum performance. Vax recommends that your filters should be
checked and cleaned periodically. If your filters are washable make sure they 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 socket and turn off the switch. Remove dirt container and empty. Clean filters. Allow the unit to
cool for approximately one (1) hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical socket and switch back on.
