Hi,
I have just supported the export of British (Welsh ?) jobs to a low-wage economy by buying a Dyson DC07. The on the positive side, the DC07 seems to suck up a fearsome amount of grime.
Now, the "extension pipe" that normally "lives" inside the flexible hose, seems extremely stiff and reluctant to be "drawn" from the hose. I am concerned that a few strong tugs on the flexible hose to pull out the pipe will result in a torn hose. Is there a "trick" to sliding the pipe from the hose? I don't mean completely detaching the pipe, I can see the little yellow retaining catch for that, I mean drawing the pipe from hose in the first place so it can be used with the hand tools. Is this "friction" cured using a dab of grease or WD40?
Thanks
Clive
