NOTE:

 

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 unattended 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 the 

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 door on a cord, or pull cord around sharp 

edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over 

cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. 

•  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 or 

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 the body away from openings and 

moving parts.

•  Do not place cleaner on furniture or stairs as the 

brush roll may cause damage. Place cleaner on 

floor with the handle in storage position while using 

attachments.

•  Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, 

such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. 

•  Do not use without dust bag or filter(s) 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 indoors in a cool, dry area.

•  Keep your work area well lighted.

•  Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming 

them.
