General Safety Information
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
When using the hard floor cleaner, basic safety precautions
should always be observed, including the following:
1.
Only use the vacuum cleaner indoors on dry surfaces.
Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with wet
hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
2.
Turn off the vacuum cleaner controls before
disconnecting or connecting from the mains supply.
3.
Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before connecting
or disconnecting the vacuum hose and accessories.
4.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
5.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
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.
8.
Do not pull or carry by cord. Do not use the cord as a
handle, close a door on the cord or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum
cleaner over the cord. Keep the cord away from
heated 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 might 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
presence of explosive liquids or vapours.
13.
Do not vacuum up harmful or toxic materials (chlorine,
bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner etc.).
14.
Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects such as
glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

15.
Do not use without ALL of the filters in place.
16.
Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs.
17.
Keep vacuuming area well lit.
18.
Store the vacuum cleaner in a cool, dry area.
19.
Turn off the on/off switch before unplugging the
vacuum cleaner.
20.
Use only SAA-approved 10 amp extension cords.
Non-approved cords may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be
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.
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. See
Maintenance: Clearing blockages.
IMPORTANT: Washing filters maintains vacuum
performance. Vax recommends that they should be
checked and cleaned periodically (depending on the level
of use). Make sure all filters 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 outlet
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 outlet and switch
back on.
This machine is intended for household use only,
and NOT for commercial or industrial use.
PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FURTHER USE.
