To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precautions
including the following:
Read this manuai before assembling or using
your vacuum cleaner.
Use your cleaner only as described in this
manual. Use only with supplied attachments.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do not
use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Disconnect electrical supply before servicing
or cleaning out brush area. Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock or brush
suddenly starting.
Always turn cleaner off before connecting or
disconnecting the hose.
Always turn cleaner off before unplugging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel.
Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
cleaner is not working as It should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped
into water, return it to a service center.
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 cleaner over
cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not leave cleaner when plugged in. Unplug
from outlet 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.
Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet hands.
Do not operate the cleaner with a punctured
hose. Replace if cut or worn. Avoid vacuuming
sharp objects.
Do not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may
reduce air flow.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.
Do not use cleaner without dust bag and/or
filters in place.
Always change the dust bag after vacuuming
carpet cleaners or freshener, powders and fine
dust. These products clog the bag, reduce
airflow and can cause the bag to burst. Failure
to change bag could cause permanent damage
to the cleaner.
Do not use the cleaner to pick up sharp hard
objects, small toys, pins, paper, etc. They may
damage the cleaner or dust bag.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking,
such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
Do not use vacuum cleaner
to pick up flammable or combustible liquids
(gasoline, cleaning fluids, perfumes, etc.), or use
in areas where they may be present. The fumes
from these substances can create a fire hazard
or explosion.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not
put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on floor.
You are responsible for making sure that your
vacuum cleaner is not used by anyone unable
to operate it properly.
