(vi)Ensure the cyclone is secured to the machine. Do not press the cyclone release button or shake the appliance while carrying or it could fall and cause injury.
(vii)Store the machine indoors. Put the vacuum cleaner away after use with the cable coiled safely, to prevent tripping hazards.
(viii)Do not use your vacuum cleaner outdoors or on wet surfaces. Vacuum may be used inside a garage only when used 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 that could damage delicate floors.

Please note:
•This machine 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 machine to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper clips, etc. They may damage the machine.
•When vacuuming, certain carpets may generate small static charges in the clear binTM 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.
•Consult your flooring manufacturer’s recommended instructions before vacuuming and caring for your flooring, rugs, and carpet. 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.
Hard floors or carpets
The brushbar will always default to ‘ON’ (spinning) each time you switch on the machine and recline it for cleaning. The brushbar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. If the brushbar stops during use, please refer to the ‘Clearing brushbar obstructions’ section.
To switch the brushbar off (e.g. for hard floors), recline the machine and turn it ‘ON’, then press the brushbar ‘ON/OFF’ button – the brushbar will stop spinning.
Using the tools – High-reach cleaning
Caution:
(i)Switch ‘OFF’ machine before changing tools.
(ii)Powerful suction can cause the hose to ‘pull back’ - please take care.
(iii)Take extra care when vacuuming on stairs; do not work with the vacuum cleaner above you on the stairs. Do not put the vacuum cleaner on chairs, tables etc.
(iv)Ensure machine is in upright position before using tools.
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 brushbar will not rotate when the machine is in an upright position. Ensure wand cap is closed when not in use.
Emptying the Clear binTM
Caution:
