4. ASSEMBLING AND USING
FOR THE FIRST TIME
To extend the telescopic tube (14) to the length
you require, push the catch forward. Next, attach
the brush (11) or one of the nozzles (17) or (18) to
one end of the tube and insert the flexible tube
(12) into the other.
Insert the flexible tube into the suction inlet (1),
making sure the grooves coincide with their
corresponding ridges to ensure a secure fit. To
release, simply press the fluted wings on the
flexible tube and pull.
Pull the connection cable (19) to unwind it from its
housing and plug into the mains.
Warning: The end of the cable is indicated by a
yellow mark. Do not continue to pull on the cable
after this yellow mark has appeared, as this could
cause irreparable damage to the cable winding
device.
Press the start-stop pedal (6) to switch the vacuum
cleaner on. To switch off, simply press the pedal once
again. Before switching the vacuum cleaner on, use
the electronic power regulator (8) to turn the power
setting to minimum, and then gradually increase to
the desired setting after the motor has started up.
