be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Dyson vacuum.
4. This Dyson vacuum is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons with reduced physical, sensory
or reasoning capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction by a responsible person concerning use of the Dyson vacuum to ensure that they can use the Dyson
vacuum safely.
5. Use only as described in this manual. Use only Dyson recommended accessories and replacement parts. Do
not carry out any maintenance other than that shown in this manual, or advised by the Dyson Customer Care
Helpline. Contact the Dyson Customer Care Helpline when service or repair is required. Do not disassemble the
Dyson vacuum as incorrect reassembly may result in an electric shock or fire.
6. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the Dyson vacuum is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, do not use and contact the Dyson Customer Care
Helpline. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by Dyson, its service agent or similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
7. Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges
or corners. Do not run the Dyson vacuum over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. To avoid a tripping
