Turning the vacuum on and off
^ Press the On-Off switch.
While vacuuming
The vacuum cleaner can also stand on
its end for vacuuming stairs, drapes
etc.
Vacuuming fine dust, flour or sawdust
can create static charge which can
discharge in certain circumstances.
,
To prevent static discharge your
hand must touch the metal inlay on
the underside of the vacuum
handpiece. Be certain to continously
touch this inlay when vacuuming fine
dust, flour or saw dust as these
materials are most likely to create
static discharge. To further prevent
static discharge while vacuuming
pull the vacuum along by the hose
with one hand while continuing to
hold the handpiece in the other
hand.
