WARnInG
The rotating floor brush continues to rotate while tools
are in use. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts,
always move the cleaner with the carrying handle at the
back of the cleaner. Always place vacuum cleaner on floor
with handle in upright position when using tools. Never
place your fingers under the cleaner when it is running.
Never place powerfoot on furniture or uneven surfaces. Do
not place vacuum cleaner close enough to objects to pull
them into rotating brush.
