Do not use the vacuum cleaner if it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into

is damaged, return the vacuum cleaner to a Vax
Authorised Service Agent or suitably qualified
person for examination, repair or adjustment.

cord as a handle, close a door on the cord or pull
the cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not
run the vacuum cleaner over the cord. Keep the
cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not handle the plug or vacuum cleaner with
wet hands. Do not use outdoors or on wet
surfaces.

Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use
with any openings blocked and do not restrict air
flow. Keep all openings free of dust, lint, hair or
anything that may reduce airflow.

WARNING:

Always switch off and unplug the vacuum

cleaner from the electrical outlet 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 outlet make sure the
switch is in the ‘off’ position. Hold the vacuum cleaner
firmly when starting and in use.

IMPORTANT:

If the inlet or hose is blocked, switch off

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

IMPORTANT:

Washing filters and changing the dust

bag improves vacuum performance. Make sure all
filters are completely dry before inserting back into the
vacuum cleaner.

This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use
only and not for commercial or industrial use.

PLEASE KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FURTHER USE.

Motor Thermostat

IMPORTANT:

The motor is equipped with a thermal

cut-out. If for any reason, the vacuum cleaner should
over-heat, the thermostat will automatically turn the
unit off. Should this occur, unplug the vacuum cleaner
from the wall outlet and turn off the switch. Remove
the dirt container and empty. Clean the filters. Allow
the cleaner to cool for approximately one (1) hour. To
re-start, plug into a wall outlet and switch back on.
