22 Do not carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this
manual or advised by the Dyson Helpline.
23 Consult your flooring manufacturer's recommended instructions before vacuuming
and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpets. Some carpets will fuzz if a rotating
brushbar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming in
bare floors mode and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
Polarization instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Assembly
Ensure hose is straight when inserting wand.

Fingertip controls
The brushbar will re-set to “ON” each time you start the machine and put it in the
cleaning position.
To turn the brushbar off, put the machine in the cleaning position and press the
brushbar on/off button.
The brushbar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed.
If the brushbar stops during use, please refer to the blockages section.
Using tools
Ensure machine is in upright position before using tools.
To protect your floors, the brushbar will not rotate when the machine is in an
upright position.
Ensure hair and loose clothing are kept clear of wand cap when machine is
switched on.
Ensure wand cap is closed, unless using with tools.
Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ – please take care when
cleaning stairs.
To avoid personal injury and to prevent the machine from falling when cleaning
stairs, always place it at the bottom of the stairs.
Do not use your vacuum cleaner outdoors or on wet surfaces. Vacuum may be
used inside a garage only with the Model 08909 Dyson Car Cleaning Kit
accessories. If used in a garage, care should be taken to wipe the soleplate and
wheels with a dry cloth after vacuuming to clean off any sand, dirt, or pebbles
which could damage delicate floors.
