OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Before use operators must be provided with information, instruction and training for the use of this
vacuum cleaner and the substances for which it is to be used, including the safe method of removal and disposal
of the material collected.
1. Connection to the Electricity Supply
Insert the mains plug into a suitable socket outlet and switch on. When you have finished cleaning, switch off
the supply at the outlet socket and unplug. When coiling the mains cable make sure that any twists or knots in
the cable come out at the plug end. DO NOT coil cable from the plug end as all twists and knots remain in the
cable and considerably shorten its life.
2. Cleaner Controls
The following control is provided:
The on/off switch is situated at the front of the motor head. To switch the appliance on firmly press the part of
the switch marked "1". To switch off press the part of the switch marked "0".
3. Carrying and Storing
The assembled cleaner should only be moved by the carrying handle on top of the motor head (not applicable to
models on a caddy). Do not attempt to lift or drag the machine by the mains cable. The cleaner must be stored
indoors and in a dry environment.
All Type H vacuum cleaners are supplied with screw-on blanking caps. These are designed to seal the
inlet and exhaust ports to prevent the escape or ingress of hazardous dust during transport or storage. Whenever
this vacuum cleaner is not in use these blanking caps should be used. They must be removed before use.
