1.2 Safety points
THOMAS POWERPACK is only for use in the home.
The appliance must not be put into operation if:
– the mains cable is damaged
– the appliance shows clear signs of damage
– the appliance has fallen or been dropped.
This appliance can be used by
children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge
if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
The voltage data on the appliance’s rating plate
must conform to the power supply.
Do not allow nozzles and tubes (when the appliance
is switched on) to come within the proximity of the
head – danger for eyes and ears, for example.
Do not vacuum noxious substances or corrosive or
solvent liquids.
Never operate the appliance in rooms where
inflammable materials are stored or where gases
have formed.
Store the appliance and its attachments in a dry,
clean and enclosed space.
Materials such as petrol, paint thinner and heating
oil can form explosive gases or mixtures by being
subjected to centrifugal air from the appliance.
Never vacuum hot ash or glowing objects.
Check before every use to be sure that you have
correctly fitted the filters required for the specific
application.
Do not vacuum toner dust! Toners such as those used
in printers and copiers, can be electric conductors!
Furthermore, it is possible that the appliance’s filter
system will not completely filter out toner dust, and in
this way it can enter the air supply of the room.
Acetone, acids and solvents can attack the materials
used in this appliance.
Extreme care is required when vacuuming stair
carpets with your appliance. Ensure that the
vacuum cleaner stands firmly on the step and take
care that the flexible hose is not stretched beyond
its actual length. When using the vacuum cleaner
on stairs, always ensure that you hold the appliance
steady with one hand.
Never leave the appliance unattended when
switched on.
Always pull out the plug
– if the appliance malfunctions during operation
– before cleaning and maintenance
– after use
– when changing the filter.
