IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY
:
1 Do not leave plugged in. Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use
and before servicing.
2 Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids
– electric shock and personal injury could occur.
3 Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used
by or near children.
4 You are responsible for making sure that your vacuum cleaner is not
used by anyone unable to operate it properly.
5 Use only as described in this manual. Use only with Dyson recommended
or approved attachments and accessories.
6 Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the
rating plate, which can be found on the base of the machine between
the wheels. The machine must only be used as rated.
7 Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not functioning
properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in
liquid, contact the Dyson Helpline on 1

8 Do not pull or carry by the cord, do not use the cord as a handle, do
not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around sharp edges or
corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord away
from heated surfaces and open flames.
9 Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the cord.
10 Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip
when rewinding.
11 Do not handle the plug or machine with wet hands.
12 Do not use the machine without the clear bin
TM
and the filters in place.
13 Do not put any objects into openings in the machine. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that
may reduce air flow.
14 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from
openings in the machine and moving parts such as the brushbar.
15 Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins,
paper clips etc. because they may damage the machine.
16 The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
17 Store the machine indoors. Put the machine away after use with the
cord coiled safely, to prevent tripping accidents.
18 Turn off all controls before unplugging.
19 Take extra care when cleaning on stairs; always work with the machine
at the bottom of the stairs. Do not put the machine on chairs, tables
etc, keep it on the floor.
20 Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
21 Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as
gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
22 When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in
the clear bin
TM
or wand. These are not associated with the electricity
supply. To minimize any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert
any object into the clear bin
TM
unless you have first emptied it and rinsed
it out with cold water.
23 Use only identical replacement parts.
24 Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown
in this manual or advised by the Helpline.
