hooks and secure with clip.

USING YOUR DYSON APPLIANCE

Unwind the cable and insert the plug into a suitable socket. Hold the cleaner

'OFF' press the red power button in front of the handle.
CAUTION:
• Do not allow the appliance to be used by anyone who may not be able to
operate it safely.
• The use of an extension cable is not recommended.
• Always switch 'OFF' and unplug before performing maintenance on your
appliance.
• Ensure the cyclone is secured to the appliance. Do not press the cyclone release
button or shake the appliance while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
• Store the appliance indoors. Put the appliance away after use with the cable
coiled safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids –
electric shock could occur.
• Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other
than that shown in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the Dyson
Customer Care Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE:
• This appliance is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust
or flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the appliance to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the appliance.
• If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with
a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could
damage delicate floors.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. Some carpets
will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens,
we recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your
flooring manufacturer.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear
bin. These are entirely harmless and are not associated with the mains supply.
To minimise any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into
the clear bin unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.
(See 'Cleaning the clear bin' section on page 8).
• Do not use or store this appliance below 0°C. Ensure that the appliance is at
room temperature before operating.
HARD FLOORS/CARPETS
Ensure the appliance is in an upright position before adjusting the setting. The
brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops
during use, please refer to the 'Clearing brush bar obstructions' section (see
pages 4 and 8).

HIGH-REACH CLEANING

CAUTION:

• Powerful suction can cause the hose to 'pull back' - please take care.
• Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs. Do not work with the appliance
above you on the stairs. Do not put the appliance on chairs, tables etc.
• Ensure the appliance is in the upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE:
• To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube from inside the
handle until it clicks. Press the grey button at the front of the carry handle to
release the wand and hose from the appliance. Tools can be attached to either
the hose or the wand.

cyclone carrying handle. To release the dirt, press the red bin
release button.
