 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS IN THIS
MANUAL AND ON THE APPLIANCE
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING
These warnings apply to the appliance, and also where applicable, to all tools, accessories, chargers or mains
adaptors.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:
1. This Dyson appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or reasoning capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, only if they have been given supervision
or instruction by a responsible person concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
2. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
3. Use only as described in this Dyson Operating Manual. Do not carry out any maintenance other than that shown in
this manual, or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
4. Suitable for dry locations ONLY. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
5. Do not handle any part of the plug or appliance with wet hands.
6. Do not use with a damaged cable or plug. If the supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by Dyson, its service
agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
7. If the appliance is not working as it should, has received a sharp blow, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors,
or dropped into water, do not use and contact the Dyson Helpline.
8. Contact the Dyson Helpline when service or repair is required. Do not disassemble the appliance as incorrect
reassembly may result in an electric shock or fire.
9. Do not stretch the cable or place the cable under strain. Keep the cable away from heated surfaces. Do not close a
door on the cable, or pull the cable around sharp edges or corners. Arrange the cable away from traffic areas and
where it will not be stepped on or tripped over. Do not run over the cable.
10. Do not unplug by pulling on the cable. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cable. The use of an extension cable is not
recommended.
11. Do not use to pick up water.
12. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as petrol, or use in areas where they or their vapours
may be present.
13. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
14. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts, such as the
brush bar. Do not point the hose, wand or tools at your eyes or ears or put them in your mouth.
15. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
that may reduce airflow.
16. Use only Dyson recommended accessories and replacement parts.
17. Do not use without the clear bin and filter in place.
18. Unplug when not in use for extended periods and before maintenance or servicing.
19. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
20. Do not install, charge or use this appliance outdoors, in a bathroom or within 3 metres (10 feet) of a pool. Do not
use on wet surfaces and do not expose to moisture, rain or snow.
21. Use only Dyson chargers for charging this Dyson appliance. Use only Dyson batteries: other types of batteries may
burst, causing injury to persons and damage.
22. Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is severely damaged. The battery may explode in a fire.
23. Always turn ‘OFF’ the appliance before connecting or disconnecting the motorised brush bar.
