    tools directly on to the end of
    the hose.

    used in wand or hose mode.Stair cleaning
    Use the hose and stair tool for
    stair cleaning. The hose will
    stretch all the way to the top of
    an average staircase so you 
    can leave your machine at 
    the bottom.
    CAUTION 
    • To avoid personal injury and
    to prevent the machine from
    falling when cleaning stairs,
    always place it at the bottom
    of the stairs.
    • Powerful suction can cause 
    the hose to “pull back.” 
    Please take care using the wand.
