This cleaner is unlikely to become blocked, except
by overfilling of the dust container or accidentally
picking up large solid objects. Clearing a blockage is
simple.

use, check cleaning tool
and extension tube first.
Next check hose
handgrip; to remove grip
ribbed ring as shown,
turn in direction of

to full length and switch on
the cleaner; the suction will
dislodge most obstructions.
If this is unsuccessful, switch
off and unplug the cleaner.

it anti-clockwise as shown.

blockage.

obstructions.

correct the fault.
It will take about 30 minutes for the cut out to
automatically reset.
