This Dyson appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons with reduced physical, sensory or reasoning capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction by a responsible person concerning use of the appliance to ensure that they can use it safely.
  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.

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