ATTENTION:
Our turbo brush (Fig. 4/A3*) serves solely to vacuum non-sensitive car-
pets, runners, doormats, and the like. Do not clean any objects with the
turbo brush that you would not clean without a second thought with a
conventional brush. Therefore, do not clean furniture, or materials with a
delicate texture, nor any other high-quality or polished substrates with
the turbo brush. Otherwise material damage might occur. If in doubt,
refrain from using the turbo brush.
