SPECIAL TOOLS
Your FORCE 10 vacuum is not only a
powerful carpet and rug cleaner, it’s also a
versatile bare floor and above floor vacuum
cleaner when you select one of the special
tools.
FLOOR NOZZLE
Use to vacuum carpets, rugs and bare
floors. The swivel head turns to get into
tight spaces and fits under cabinets
1. To vacuum carpets and rugs, push the
brush switch to the carpet position
[ ]. This will pull the brushes up
into the floor nozzle
2. To vacuum bare floors, push the brush
switch to the bare floor position
[ ]. This will extend the brushes
down from the floor nozzle
DUSTING BRUSH/CREVICE TOOL
Use the dusting brush/crevice tool in
narrow spaces.
UPHOLSTERY TOOL
Use the upholstery tool to clean curtains,
draperies, cushions and fabrics.
CLIP-ON TOOL HOLDER
The clip-on tool holder provides convenient
storage for your dusting brush/crevice tool
when clipped onto the extension wand.
AIRFLOW REGULATOR
Open the airflow regulator by sliding the
regulator down towards the extension
wand to an open position. This will reduce
the suction power for vacuuming delicate
fabrics. For full suction power, close the
air-flow regulator by sliding the regulator
up to the closed position.
TIP:
Before cleaning under low furniture, check the
area first for objects that might harm the unit or
block the hose.
