VACUUMING TIPS
Suggested sweeping pattern.
For best cleaning action, the Power-Mate®
should be pushed straight away from you
and pulled straight back. At the end of each
pull stroke, the direction of the Power-Mate*
should be changed to point into the next
section to be cleaned. This pattern should
be continued across the carpet with slow,
gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast,
jerky strokes do
not provide
complete clean­
ing.
The hose swivel
allows the hose to
turn without moving
the canister. This is
helpful for cleaning in
small areas. Check
hose for twisting
before pulling canister.
A
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Use care if the Power-Mate^ and
wand is left in the upright position as
it may tip over easily. Property
damage can occur if tipped.

Power-Mate®. Personal injury or

the power cord. If there Is damage
to the cord or plug,personal injury
or property damage could result.

vacuumed
regularly. For

results, fully
close the suction

stairs. If it falls, personal injury
or property damage could result.
A

canister from one stair to the next.
When finished cleaning in one area
use the handle grip on the canister to

canister from
slipping when used
on stairs (see

in HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS
occasionally for clogs. Unplug from outlet
