 Turn off the vacuum cleaner and un-
plug it.
 Remove the blockage. See "Mainte-
nance".
Wait approx. two minutes before
switching the vacuum cleaner on again.
This will enable the roller brush safety
mechanism to reset itself.
Maintenance

Always switch off the vacuum
cleaner for maintenance work and
unplug the power cord from the wall
socket.
Removing threads and hairs
(Fig. 06, 07 + 08)
 Use a pair of scissors to cut any
threads or hairs that have wound
themselves around the roller brush.
Then, run the vacuum cleaner to vac-
uum up the cut pieces.
The roller brush cover can be opened to
remove stubborn soiling or blockages
from inside the Electrobrush.
 Loosen both locking screws under-
neath the Electrobrush with a coin
and then remove the roller cover.
The roller brush can then be taken out
of its holder and cleaned. Clean the in-
side area around the roller brush at the
same time.
When refitting the roller brush please
note: (Fig. 09)
The roller bearing has marks on it in the
form of notches.
6
With a new roller brush the end of the
roller bearing with the one notch must
face the base plate (see left-hand illus-
tration). This enables the bristles to
stick out by approx. 1/16" (2 mm). This
is important for good brushing.
When the bristles start to show signs of
wear after prolonged use:
 Refit the roller bearing so that the end
with two notches points towards the
base plate (see right-hand illustra-
tion).
 Refit the cover over the roller brush
and secure it (Fig. 10).
 Tighten the locking screws.
If the bristles on the roller brush are
worn down any more, the roller brush
must be replaced with a new one.
Replacing a drive belt (Fig. 11)
 Loosen both locking screws under-
neath the Electrobrush with a coin
and then remove the roller cover (Fig.
07).
 Remove the roller brush (Fig. 08).
 Unscrew screws a underneath the
Electrobrush and then separate the
lower section b from the top sec-
tion c (Fig. 11).
 Replace the drive belt.
 Reassemble the Electrobrush in the
reverse order.
