TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

  1. This Dyson appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or reasoning capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, only if they have been given supervision or instruction by a responsible person concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
  2. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

  4. Suitable for dry locations ONLY. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
  5. Do not handle any part of the plug or appliance with wet hands.
  6. Do not use with a damaged cable or plug. If the supply cable is damaged it must be replaced by Dyson, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Arrange the cable away from traffic areas and where it will not be stepped on or tripped over. Do not run over the cable.
