Danger of injury! Only attach the appliance parts when the appliance isnot connected to the power supply. Otherwise the machine might startup and parts of your body, hair or pieces of clothing might be sucked in. CAUTION: Before assembling, make sure that the fitted nozzle suits the surface tobe cleaned. Do not clean e.g. any floors or objects with a brush withrotating bristles that you would not clean without a second thought witha conventional brush. Also observe the flooring manufacturer's recom-mendations. NOTE: You might have to twist the parts when connecting them so they aresecurely in place. Ensure that installed parts are secure by trying to pullthem apart.

Danger of injury! Check appliance and power cord before each use.A damaged appliance must never be used. CAUTION: Only use the appliance with all filters undamaged, dry and correctly fit-ted. Make sure that no objects obstruct the telescopic tube, the suctionhose or other openings.
