IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
•
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the
electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.
•
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children.
•
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
•
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a
service center before using.
•
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
•
Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (refer to Grounding Instructions).
•
Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
