Vacuum Cleaner Safety

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.

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, have unit serviced 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.

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, 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 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 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.
