Following the cleaning instructions will prolong the life of your Powr-Flite vacuum.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed.
1. Use only as instructed in this manual. Use only the recommended attachments and replacement parts.
2. Do not leave vacuum cleaner plugged in when not in use. Unplug vacuum before servicing.
3. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
4. Do not use to pick up liquids. This vacuum is for Dry Pickup only.
5. If the unit is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or exposed to water, return it to a
service center before using.

7. Do not use without paper vacuum bag, cloth bag and filters in place.
8. Do not operate the vacuum while it is standing on high-pile carpet. The exhaust airflow is restricted and will cause
the unit to overheat.
9. Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
10. Do not kink or twist the power cord.
11. Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or
corner. Do not run vacuum cleaning over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
12. Do not pull on the cord to unplug. Grasp and pull the plug, not the cord. Turn off the vacuum before unplugging.
13. Do not handle the cord, plug, switch or vacuum with wet hands.
14. Do not use outlets with inadequate current capacity.
15. Do not use an extension cord with this vacuum.

thing that might reduce airflow.

19. Do not vacuum flammable or combustible materials or anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
20. Do not use with dust bag not in place.
21. Sparks inside the motor can ignite flammable vapors or dust. To reduce the risk or fire or explosion, do not use near
combustible liquids, gases, or dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels, lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-based paints, or natu-
ral gas.
