Read the instructions before use, and keep them safe. Pass them on if you pass the cleaner on.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including the ones below. It's quite a list, but most of them are
simple common sense.
1 The cleaner must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and
store it out of reach of children.
2 Don't put the cleaner in any liquid, and don't use it anywhere damp or wet.
3 Don't use the cleaner near a gas, oil (including paraffin), or open fire. The flame may
be sucked towards the cleaner, causing a fire hazard.
4 Keep hair, clothing, fingers (and toes), away from the end doing the sucking, and from the
brush. It won't drag you into the bin, but it may give you a bit of a start.
5 Stuff you mustn't pick up:
a) don't pick up any liquid – you'll short the motor
b) don't pick up stuff that may ignite spontaneously, like matches, bits of fire-lighter
c) don't pick up anything burning or smouldering, like cigarette ends, ashes, or embers
– wait till they're extinguished and cold
d) don't pick up spillage from toner cartridges – the fine carbon particles may pass through
the filter, short circuit the motor, and burn it out
e) don't pick up cement or plaster dust – they'll combine with moisture in the air, clog the
filter, scour the bin, and maybe burn out the motor too
f) don't pick up anything sharp – you may puncture the filter and damage the motor
g) don't pick up anything biological – you'll eventually have to clean it off the filter, and
there's always the possibility that viral particles may pass through the filter, reach the air
outlet, and enter your air supply
