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 on the underside 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.
• This appliance can be used by
children who are over 8 and
by those with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities
or lacking experience and/or
knowledge given that they have
been supervised or instructed in
the safe use of the appliance and
