DRY VACUUMING
Caution! Never dry vacuum without the filter assembly installed.

2. The device has dirt full and block indication function, the light turns on that means the air route way is blocked. In this case, user should switch off the device and check:
   • Is the hose or accessories blocked by large dirt?
   • Is the filter blocked by dirt?

User should take actions

• Clean the dirt in the hose or other accessories.
• Change or clean the dust bag/HEPA filter.

• The cord should be wrapped around the device (Fig. O), the  accessories should be stored in the storage base (Fig. P). The vac should be stored indoors.

  

  

• To clean the device casing switch off and disconnect the  plug from the mains socket.
• Never expose the vacuum cleaner to the effects of the  weather (rain, etc.). No parts may be washed in a dish washer.
• The casing, dust collecting chamber and filter chambers of the vacuum cleaner can be wiped with a damp cloth if required. No liquid must enter the vacuum cleaner in the process. Never use strong cleaning substance (scouring liquids, thinners), since these will corrode the plastic surface. Only place the plug back in the mains socket when you have made sure that all the parts are thoroughly dry.
• Hair and fluff may gather on the running wheels and on the floor nozzle of the vacuum cleaner in time. You should remove these to ensure that handling of the vacuum cleaner is always easy.
• Lubricating or oiling of the roller bearing is not  recommended, because this will cause dirt and fluff to stick even better.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Warning! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
General vacuum cleaner safety warnings. Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “vacuum cleaner” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) vacuum cleaner or battery operated (cordless) vacuum cleaner.

Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate vacuum cleaners in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Vacuum cleaners create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a vacuum cleaner. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Vacuum cleaner plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) vacuum cleaners. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose vacuum cleaners to rain or wet conditions.
• Water entering a vacuum cleaner will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the vacuum cleaner. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a vacuum cleaner outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a vacuum cleaner in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a vacuum cleaner. Do not use a vacuum cleaner while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating vacuum cleaners may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying vacuum cleaners with your finger on the switch or energising vacuum cleaners that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the vacuum cleaner on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the vacuum cleaner may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the vacuum cleaner in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

Vacuum cleaner Use and Care

• Do not force the vacuum cleaner. Use the correct vacuum cleaner for your application. The correct vacuum cleaner will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the vacuum cleaner if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any vacuum cleaner that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the vacuum cleaner before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing vacuum cleaners. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the vacuum cleaner accidentally.
• Store idle vacuum cleaners out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the vacuum cleaner or these instructions to operate the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain vacuum cleaners. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the vacuum cleaners operation. If damaged, have the vacuum cleaner repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained vacuum cleaners.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the vacuum cleaner, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the vacuum cleaner for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service
Have your vacuum cleaner serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the vacuum cleaner is maintained.
