HOW TO MAINTAIN CLEANING EFFICIENCY

The plug of the power supply cord should be removed from the socket outlet

before cleaning the appliance or undertaking maintenance operations.

The supply cord on this appliance can only be replaced by the use of special

tools and if it is damaged the appliance must be returned to the manufacturer

or an accredited service agent for repair.

Change the dust bag before it is excessively filled.

If the rotary brush becomes jammed by picking up large solid objects, bulky

matter or the like, take it out after unpluging the cord. Remove any threads and

long strings entwined round the rotary brush after cutting through.

Only Hitachi special composition carbon brushes must be used in this cleaner.

Replacement of the brushes must be carried out by an Hitachi dealer/service

center.

To clean the cleaner body and attachments, wipe with a soapsuds-soaked

cloth. Avoid using alcoholic content liquids.

TO AVOID ACCIDENTS

Always disconnect cord from electrical outlet before servicing the

cleaner.

Be sure to replace a new paper bag after disposing of the full one. There

is a device which prevents the bag compartment lid from being closed

when the paper bag has not been replaced. Do not tamper with this to

use without bags as dust will be sucked directly into the mechanical

parts and may damage the motor.

Keep fingers,hands,feet and hair away from revolving rotary brush.

Do not pick up matches,fireplace ashes or smoking material with the

vacuum cleaner as a possible fire hazard may result.

Avoid picking up sharp objects.They may damage the vacuum cleaner

and the bag.

Do not use the clener to pick up wet dirt,and avoid using it in a wet and

moist place as moisture may damage the motor and other mechanical

parts.

Do not block the air flow. Any blockages or obstructions to the nozzle,

hose, etc. or the exhaust air outlet can cause loss of power and motor

overheating.

Do not run the cleaner over cord. It may damage insulation.

Avoid cleaning the switch and receptacle parts with wet cloth and

splashing water on it as moisture may cause a short circuit.

Your vacuum cleaner is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it. Do

not leave the vacuum cleaner connected to an electrical outlet

unattended.

Warning:Electric shock could occur if used outdoors or on wet surfaces.

Warning: During use of the (accessory) tools, the rotary brush will continue to

rotate and care must be taken to keep hands and the mains lead clear of the

underside of the vacuum cleaner.

Warning: When using accessory tools, the rotary brush will continue to rotate,

so care must be taken not to leave the vacuum cleaner standing on an uneven

surface, e.g. stairs, as this may result in damage to a carpet or other surface.

Warning: Do not leave the vacuum cleaner running continuously on one part

of a floor surface, e.g. when answering the phone, as this may result in

damage. Switch off the vacuum cleaner.
