Caution:
(i) If the vacuum cleaner is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or immersed in liquid, contact the Dyson helpline.

releasing the cleaner.
(vi) Ensure the cyclone is secured to the machine. Do not press the cyclone release button or shake
the appliance while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
(vii) Store the machine indoors. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use with the cable coiled safely,
to prevent tripping hazards.
(viii) Do not use your vacuum cleaner outdoors or on wet surfaces. Vacuum may be used inside a
garage only when used with the Model 08909 Dyson Car Cleaning Kit accessories. If used in a
garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming
to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles that could damage delicate oors.
(ix) Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids – electric shock could occur.
(x) Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating plate, which can
be found behind the clear
bin.
TM
The machine must only be used as rated.
(xi) Do not
lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown
in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
Please note:
• This machine is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or our should only
be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may
damage the machine.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear bin
TM
or wand.
These are entirely harmless and 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 unless you have rst emptied
it and rinsed it out with cold water.
• Consult your ooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for
your ooring, rugs, and carpet. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating brushbar is used when
vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in bare oors mode and consulting with
your ooring manufacturer.
Hard oors or carpets
The brushbar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch on the machine and recline
it for cleaning. The brushbar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brushbar stops
during use, please refer to the ‘Clearing brushbar obstructions’ section.
To switch the brushbar off (e.g. for hard oors), recline the machine and turn it ‘ON’, then press the
brushbar ‘ON/OFF’ button – the brushbar will stop spinning.
Using the tools – High-reach cleaning
Caution:
(i) Switch ‘OFF’ machine before changing tools.
(ii) Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ - please take care.
