IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a 

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into 

outlet or try to modify to fit.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

  CAUTION: The motorized floor nozzle, wand, and handle contain 

electrical connections:  

  - These are not serviceable parts. 

  - Do not use to vacuum any liquids. 

  - Do not immerse in water when cleaning. 

  - If handle/wand is damaged, discontinue use.

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should 

always be observed, including the following:

1

   DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

2

  Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.

3

with a damaged cord or plug.

  If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, or has been dropped, damaged, 

left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to SharkNinja Operating LLC for 

examination, repair, or adjustment.

   The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use when damaged, cut or punctured.

6

   DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the cord as a handle.

free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

when used near children. This is not a toy.

  DO NOT use without dust cup and/or filters in place. 

HOSE ATTACHMENTS

become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug from electrical outlet. 

Remove all obstructions before you turn on the unit again.

24

   Keep the end of the hose and accessory openings away from face and body.

25

   Keep cleaning tools and hose suction openings away from hair, face, fingers, 

uncovered feet, and loose clothing.
