upside down.
• Ensure the Dyson vacuum cleaner remains upright in use.
• Do not operate the Dyson vacuum cleaner while checking for blockages.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids –
electric shock could occur.

PLEASE NOTE:
• Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this
Dyson Operating Manual or advised by the Dyson Customer Care Helpline.

with your flooring manufacturer.
