Dyson's official maintenance guide explains how to unlock an end cap with a coin and clear hair or fibres from certain V10/V11 brush bars. These steps apply only to that type of head. Soft-roller and other heads have different removal and washing instructions, so check the exact model and head manual first.

1. Power down and identify the head: Switch off, disconnect from charging and avoid pressing the trigger. Check that the machine is a V10/V11 and the fitted head has the coin-operated end cap described in its manual.
2. Remove and inspect: Detach the cleaner head safely. If parts are cracked, wiring is exposed or damage is severe, stop and consult Dyson support instead of attempting maintenance.
3. Unlock only a matching end cap: For the head covered by Dyson's instructions, turn the fastener anticlockwise with a coin and carefully remove the brush bar. Never force a different mechanism.
4. Clear the tangles: Gently remove wrapped hair, thread and debris from the spindle and brush bar. Clear debris by the end cap too, without using a sharp blade that could damage bristles or wiring.
5. Keep washing rules separate: This guide addresses dry detangling. Do not assume that instructions for washing a soft roller apply to a different brush bar; follow your exact head manual for washable parts and drying time.
6. Reassemble and check: Refit the brush bar and end cap, then turn the fastener clockwise with a coin to secure it. Reattach the head and briefly check for catching or unusual noise; stop if anything seems wrong.
