WARNING
• To reduce the risk of electric
shock and personal injury,
this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet.
Do not force the plug into
the outlet. Do not alter the
plug in any way.
CAUTION
• Keep hair, loose clothing,
fingers, and all parts of the
body away from openings
and moving parts.
• This machine is fitted with
a belt protection system.
If any item becomes caught
in the brushbar (e.g. rug
fringe), you will hear a loud
‘ratchet’ warning noise.
To rectify, turn the machine
off, disconnect from the
electrical outlet and clear
any obstruction (see page 15),
checking that the brush control
is set to the correct position
for the floor surface before
re-starting the machine.
Please note: This machine is
intended for domestic use only.
Fine dust such as plaster dust or
flour should only be vacuumed
in small amounts.
