Safety points

• THOMAS BOXER is intended for household use.
• 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.
• The voltage data on the appliance's rating plate must conform to
the power supply. The nameplate is located at the backside of the
motor block of the appliance.
• Only connect the appliance to a power socket with a 16A
automatic circuit breaker.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is switched on.
• Always pull out the plug
→ if the appliance malfunctions during operation
→ before cleaning and maintenance
→ after use
→ when changing the filter.
