[. . . ] 4 Keep hair, clothing, fingers (and toes), away from the end doing the sucking, and from the brush. It won't drag you into the bin, but it may give you a bit of a start. 5 Stuff you mustn't pick up: a) don't pick up any liquid ­ you'll short the motor b) don't pick up stuff that may ignite spontaneously, like matches, bits of fire-lighter c) don't pick up anything burning or smouldering, like cigarette ends, ashes, or embers ­ wait till they're extinguished and cold d) don't pick up spillage from toner cartridges ­ the fine carbon particles may pass through the filter, short circuit the motor, and burn it out e) don't pick up cement or plaster dust ­ they'll combine with moisture in the air, clog the filter, scour the bin, and maybe burn out the motor too f) don't pick up anything sharp ­ you may puncture the filter and damage the motor g) don't pick up anything biological ­ you'll eventually have to clean it off the filter, and there's always the possibility that viral particles may pass through the filter, reach the air outlet, and enter your air supply 6 If you use the cleaner outdoors (e. g. cleaning the car), connect it to the electricity supply via a residual current device (RCD), with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. [. . . ] 15 The small brush is part of the crevice tool. To use, turn it a bit more than 90° from the crevice tool, to store, turn it back, parallel to the crevice tool. tubes 16 Fit the extendable tube for floors, carpets, or for those hard to reach places: a) grip the end of the inner tube in one hand, the outer tube in the other b) turn your right hand quarter of a turn anti-clockwise to unlock the tubes c) move the inner tube in or out to the length you require d) turn your right hand quarter of a turn clockwise to lock the tubes 17 Push the wide end of the extendable tube on to the nozzle. 18 Choose a tool, and push it onto the narrow end of the tube. suction control 19 The suction control is on the nozzle ­ move it towards the nozzle for maximum suction, away from the nozzle to reduce suction. plug in caution If you've accidentally pressed the on/off switch, the cleaner could come on when you plug it in. This could give you a bit of a start, so be careful. 20 Plug the cable into a socket near the area to be cleaned (switch the socket on, if it's switchable). 21 Press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner on. switching on cleaning 22 Move the tool over the surface, cleaning a small area at a time. 23 When you move to a new area, overlap the previous area, to make sure none of the surface is missed. switching off 24 If you've finished, if you want to change tools, or if you just want to stop, press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner off. 25 Press and release the on/off switch 3, to turn the cleaner off. 27 Stand clear of the cable, and press the cable rewind button, the cable will rewind back into the cleaner. 28 Keep clear of the cable, as it rewinds at a fair lick. If it catches on anything, stop pressing, and it'll stop rewinding. 29 We've tried not to make it too powerful, to avoid wrecking your home, so you may need to push the plug end into the storage area manually. finished cleaning? 5 removing and emptying the bin 30 You don't have to empty the bin after each use, but it's a very good idea. Your cleaner will happily work till it's chock full, but you'll be wasting energy swirling yesterday's dust around. Energy that could be better used sucking up today's dust. 31 Switch off, unplug, and leave it for a minute, to let the dust settle. 32 Squeeze the locks on the hose end, and pull the hose out of the cleaner ­ this'll keep the hose out of your way. Use the other hand to raise the bin handle, then lift the bin up and out of the cleaner. 34 Lower the bin into your dustbin so it's below the rim ­ this'll stop the dust dispersing into your environment. 35 Pull the bottom of the latch away from the bin. The bottom of the bin will drop open, and the contents will drop into the dustbin. 36 Tap the bin lightly (over the dustbin) to dislodge any remaining dust. 37 Check the inlet for blockages, if there are any, give the bin a few taps to dislodge it.
