Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.
Do not allow this vacuum to be used as a toy.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturers recommended
attachments.
Never operate this vacuum cleaner if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, exposed to weather or
dropped into water.

grasp the plug, not the cord.

openings free of dust, lint, hair and any other similar material.
