ASSEMBLY  
Lie vacuum cleaner flat and push on cleaner head until it clicks. Stand vacuum  
up straight, insert wand into hose and push into place until it clicks. Attach tool  
to the side of the vacuum cleaner.  
LOOKING FOR BLOCKAGES  
CAUTION:  
USING YOUR DYSON VACUUM CLEANER  
Press foot pedal and recline handle to use. The stabiliser stand will automatically  
lift up. To switch ‘ON, depress power button in front of handle. When finished  
cleaning, push vacuum cleaner into an upright position and stabiliser wheels will  
automatically drop. Use the carrying handle to carry the vacuum cleaner.  
Switch ‘OFF’ and unplug the vacuum cleaner before checking for blockages.  
Please ensure vacuum cleaner is upright before removing hose or airway  
inspection parts.  
Beware of sharp objects when clearing blockages.  
Refit all parts of the vacuum cleaner securely before using.  
CAUTION:  
When returning to the upright position, ensure that the stabiliser wheels are fully  
engaged before releasing the cleaner.  
Do not press the cyclone release button while carrying the vacuum cleaner or it  
could fall and cause injury.  
PLEASE NOTE:  
Clearing blockages is not covered by your vacuum cleaner’s limited guarantee.  
If any part of your vacuum cleaner becomes blocked, it may overheat and then  
automatically shut off. Unplug the vacuum cleaner and leave to cool down.  
Clear blockage before restarting.  
PLEASE NOTE:  
Fine dust such as plaster or flour should only be vacuumed in very small  
amounts.  
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 is the case, we  
recommend vacuuming in hard floors mode and consulting with your flooring  
manufacturer. (Refer to carpets/hard floors section.)  
If used in a garage when car cleaning, 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.  
CLEARING BRUSH BAR OBSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION:  
Switch off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before clearing brushbar  
obstructions. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.  
If your brushbar is obstructed, it may shut off. If this happens you will need to  
remove the brushbar as shown and clear any obstructing debris.
