Hints for optimum use
• When working in confined spaces, temporarily remove the accessory holder from the
tube to improve your scope.
• When vacuuming stairs, always start at the bottom and work your way up. Position the
appliance on the floor and do the stairs until halfway. Then carry the appliance to a
stable position which is at least one stair below your working position, and do the top
half of the stairs.
