When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:
1. Do not leave the Dyson vacuum when plugged in. Unplug from socket when not in use and before servicing.
2. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. Suitable for dry locations only. Do not use to pick up water.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the Dyson vacuum.
4. This Dyson vacuum is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons with reduced physical, sensory or reasoning
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction by a responsible
person concerning use of the Dyson vacuum to ensure that they can use the Dyson vacuum safely.
5. Use only as described in this manual. Use only Dyson recommended accessories and replacement parts. Do not carry out
any maintenance other than that shown in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Customer Care Helpline. Contact the Dyson
Customer Care Helpline when service or repair is required. Do not disassemble the Dyson vacuum as incorrect reassembly may
result in an electric shock or fire.
6. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the Dyson vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, do not use and contact the Dyson Customer Care Helpline. If the supply cord is damaged it
must be replaced by Dyson, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
7. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run
the Dyson vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. To avoid a tripping hazard wind the cord when not in use.
