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
2
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Use indoors only.
• 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
manufacturerʼs 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 a
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.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
• Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any
opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
that may reduce airflow.
• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose
clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such
as cigarettes, matches, or hot fireplace or barbeque ashes.
Live sparks or embers could start a fire in waste material
inside the tank.
• Do not use without ball float and cage in place.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• If the machine tips over during use, shut it off immediately,
set it upright, and wait for the motor to stop completely. This
allows the ball float to return to normal position and permits
proper airflow through the cleaner.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such
as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
• Store your cleaner indoors and in a cool, dry area.
• Keep your work area well lighted.
• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
• Do not use any cleaners marked flammable or
combustible.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have
proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a
two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug,
or the like extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
