To prevent static electricity your
hand must touch the metal inlay on
the underside of the vacuum hand
piece. Be certain to continuously
touch this inlay when vacuuming
fine dust, flour or sawdust as these
materials are more likely to create a
static discharge. To further prevent
static discharge, pull the vacuum
along by the hose with one hand
while continuing to hold the hand
piece in the other hand.
Adjusting the suction (see fig. 11)
You can adjust the suction power to suit
the type of flooring. By reducing the
suction power the floor brush can be
pushed easier.

Opening the air inlet valve

The air inlet valve can be opened to
quickly reduce the suction power of the
tool being used, e.g. when moving from
a carpet to an area rug.
^ Open the air inlet valve far enough to
reduce the suction power.
Opening the air inlet valve reduces the
power to the tool being used.

conveniently park the wand and floor
brush on the vacuum cleaner during

cleaner from above.
Transport and storage (see fig. 15)
