General Safety Information

 WARNING:

  Always switch off and unplug the vacuum 

cleaner from the electrical socket before assembling, opening 
or emptying the dirt container, or before connecting/
disconnecting the attachments.

 CAUTION:

  The vacuum cleaner is a very powerful unit. 

Before plugging the cord into the electrical socket, make sure 
the switch is in the ‘off’ position.

 IMPORTANT:

  If the inlet, hose or telescopic tube is blocked, 

switch off the vacuum cleaner and remove the blockage(s) 
before re-starting the vacuum cleaner.

IMPORTANT:

  Vax recommends the use of Residual Current 

Device Rating of 30mA or less.

 IMPORTANT:

  It is very important that filters are kept clean 

to obtain maximum performance from your vacuum cleaner. 
Not cleaning and not replacing your filters regularly can 
reduce the suction power and cause overheating and 
permanent damage to the vacuum cleaner.

 NOTE:

  If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by 

the manufacturer, or a similarly qualified person in order to 
avoid hazard, or invalidating the warranty.

 IMPORTANT:

  The motor is equipped with a thermal cut-out. 

If for any reason the unit should overheat (eg. from blocked 
nozzles, a full dust container or unclean filters), the 
thermostat will automatically turn off the switch. Should this 
occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner from the electrical socket 
and turn off the switch. Remove dirt container and empty. 
Clean filters. Allow the unit to cool for approximately one (1) 
hour. To re-start, plug into an electrical socket and switch 
back on.

SAFETY INFORMATION AND THE INSTRUCTIONS IN
