ment for a longer reach.

harmless and are not associated in any way
with the main power supply.
CAUTION:
The rotating floor brush continues
to rotate while tools are in use. To
reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, always move the cleaner
with the carrying handle at the

with the handle in upright position
when using tools. Never place your
fingers under the cleaner when it is
running. Never place powerfoot on
