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 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.

Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.

Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.

Turn off all controls before unplugging.

Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting either hose or motorized nozzle.

Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use if damaged, cut or punctured. Avoid picking up sharp objects.

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 and contains a revolving brush roll. 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 ashes.

Do not use without dust bag in place.

Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the
drive belt.

Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

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 in a cool, dry area.

Keep your work area well lighted.

Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them
