in use and before servicing.

or near children.

6 Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating
plate, which can be found behind the clear bin TM . The machine must only be used
as rated.
7 If the appliance is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or immersed in liquid, contact the Dyson Helpline at 1-866-693-9766.
8 Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. Do not pull or carry by the cord; do not
use the cord as a handle; do not close a door on the cord or pull the cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the machine over the cord. Keep the cord
away from heated surfaces and open flames.
9 Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
10 Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands.
11 Do not use the appliance without the clear bin
TM and filters in place.
12 Do not put any object into openings in the machine. Do not use with any opening
blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
13 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings
in the machine and moving parts, such as the brushbar.
14 Do not use the machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips etc., because they may damage the machine.
15 The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
16 Store the machine indoors. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use with the cord
coiled safely, to prevent tripping accidents.
17 Turn off all controls before unplugging.
18 Take extra care when cleaning on stairs; always work with the machine at the
bottom of the stairs. Keep vacuum on the floor. Do not put the machine on chairs,
tables etc.
19 Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches or hot ashes.
20 Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline,
or use in areas where they may be present.
21 When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the
clear bin TM or wand. These are not associated with the electricity supply.
To minimize any effect from this, do not put your hand or insert any object into
the clear bin TM unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it out with cold water.
