1.2 Safety points

• THOMAS POWERPACK is intended for household
use by adults.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended whilst it is
switched on and ensure that children do not play
around with the appliance.
• Always pull out the plug
– if the appliance malfunctions during operation
– before cleaning and maintenance
– after use
– when changing the filter.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling at the cable,
but only by removing the plug directly from the
socket.
• Ensure that the main cable is not exposed to either
heat or chemical substances, nor that it is pulled
across sharp edges or surfaces.
• Avoid using extension cables in wet rooms.
• Never repair damage to the appliance, to the
