IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using your Upright VACUUM.
Always connect to a polarized outlet (left slot is wider than right). Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance.
WARNING: To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
■Do not modify the polarized plug to fit a non-polarized outlet or extension cord.
■Do not leave vacuum cleaner unattended when it is plugged in.
■Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
■Unplug before attaching the TurboBrush.
■Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
■Do not allow children to operate vacuum cleaner or use as a toy.
■Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
■Do not use for any purpose other than described in this user’s guide.
■Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
■Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
■If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at an authorized service center.
■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 appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
■Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
■Do not handle vacuum cleaner or plug with wet hands.
■Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

■Do not pick up flammable materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in the presence of explosive liquids or vapors.
■Do not pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
■Do not use vacuum cleaner in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, some moth proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
■Do not pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.
■Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
■Do not use without filters in place.
