USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM
Press foot pedal and recline handle to use. The stabilizer stand will automatically
lift up. To switch ‘ON’, depress power button in front of handle. After cleaning,
push vacuum into an upright position and stabilizer wheels will automatically
drop. Use the cyclone carry handle to carry the vacuum.
CAUTION:
• Do not use or store this machine below 32°F(0°C). Ensure that the machine is at
room temperature before operating.
• Do not allow the vacuum to be used by anyone who may not be able to
operate it safely.
• The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
• Always switch off and unplug the vacuum before performing maintenance on
your vacuum.
• When returning to the upright position, ensure that the stabilizer wheels are fully
engaged before releasing the vacuum.
• Ensure the cyclone is secured to the vacuum. Do not press the cyclone release
button or shake the vacuum while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
• Store the vacuum indoors. Put the vacuum away after use with the cord coiled
safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces or to vacuum water or other liquids –
electric shock could occur.
• Check to ensure your electricity supply corresponds to that shown on the rating
plate, which can be found behind the clear bin. The vacuum must only be used
as rated.
• Do not lubricate any parts, or carry out any maintenance or repair work
other than that shown in this Dyson Operating Manual, or advised by the
Dyson Helpline.
PLEASE NOTE:
• This vacuum is intended for domestic use only. Fine dust such as plaster dust or
flour should only be vacuumed in very small amounts.
• Do not use the vacuum to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum.
• Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before
vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. The brush bar on the
machine can damage certain carpet types and floors.
• If unsure turn brush bar off in order to enable proper operation. Some carpets
will fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we
recommend vacuuming in bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring
manufacturer.
• When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the
clear bin or wand. These are entirely harmless and 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 unless you have first emptied it and rinsed it
out with cold water (see ‘clear bin cleaning section).
CARPETS/HARD FLOORS
The brush bar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch on
the vacuum and recline it for cleaning. The brush bar will automatically stop
if it becomes obstructed. If the brush bar stops during use, please refer to the
‘Clearing brush bar obstructions’ section.
To switch the brush bar off (e.g. for hard floors), recline the vacuum and
turn it ‘ON’, then press the brush bar ‘ON/OFF’ button – the brush bar
will stop spinning.
HIGH-REACH CLEANING
CAUTION:
• Switch ‘OFF’ vacuum before changing tools.
• Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ - please take care.

you on the stairs. Do not put the vacuum on chairs, tables etc.
• Ensure vacuum is in upright position before using tools.
PLEASE NOTE:
• To release the wand, open the wand cap and pull the red tube until the wand
releases from the vacuum. Tools can be attached to either the hose or wand.
• The brush bar will not rotate when the vacuum is in an upright position.
