IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical vacuum cleaner, basic precautions should always be followed
including the following:
Read all instructions carefully before using this vacuum cleaner.
WARNING /
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
1
Do not leave vacuum cleaner unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet
2
when not in use and before user-servicing.
Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.
3
Do not allow this vacuum to be used as a toy.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturers recommended
4
attachments.
Never operate this vacuum cleaner if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
5
working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, exposed to weather or
dropped into water.
Return the vacuum cleaner to a Brother Authorized Servicer in the United States
for examination and repair.
Do not pull or carry this vacuum cleaner by the power cord. Do not use the power
6
cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges
or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not run the vacuum over the cord. Running over the cord may damage the
7
insulation resulting in an electrical short. If the insulation is damaged, immediately remove the plug from the electrical outlet and bring the vacuum to a Brother
Authorized Servicer.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Never disconnect the plug by pulling on the cord. To disconnect from an outlet,
8
grasp the plug, not the cord.
Never operate this vacuum cleaner with any air opening blocked. Keep the air
9
openings free of dust, lint, hair and any other similar material.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
10
Keep hair, face, fingers and loose clothing away from all openings, the agitator
11
and any moving parts.
Do not use this vacuum cleaner to pick up the following objects:
12
a. flammable objects: lit cigarettes, hot ashes, lit matches or similar materials.
b. sharp objects: razor blades, broken glass, needles, pins, nails or similar
materials.
c. very fine dust: plaster, cement, cooking flour, etc...

Before removing the plug from the outlet, turn all controls to the “OFF” position.
14
Use extra caution when cleaning on stairs.
15
Never handle plug, cord or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

Never touch the underside of the vacuum cleaner when it is plugged in. The rotating
17
agitator may cause injury.
Do not use in presence of flammable or combustible liquids or fumes.
18
Do not place heavy objects on the vacuum cleaner.
19
Do not step on the hose or pull the hose forcibly.
20
Do not pick up objects such as waste paper, plastic sheets, tissue paper or
21
wrappings which may clog the hose and filters. Do not pick up a lot of dust at once.
This may clog the filters and rapidly reduce the performance of the vacuum cleaner.
Do not expose this vacuum cleaner to high temperatures while operating or during
22
storage.
Store this vacuum cleaner in a dry place.
23
Use the carrying handle on the back of the body to carry this vacuum cleaner.
24
Before servicing this vacuum cleaner, allow all parts to cool .
25
CAUTION:

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

HEAT PROTECTION SYSTEM
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the motor from overheating. If the
vacuum cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the (ON/OFF) switch to the (OFF) position and
unplug the cleaner. Check the vacuum cleaner for a possible source of overheating such as
a full dirt compartment or clogged filters. If these conditions are found, empty the dirt
compartment and clean the filters (see pages 10, 11) or replace if necessary (see page 13).
To maintain the best performance of your vacuum cleaner, we recommend emptying the dirt
compartment before the dirt reaches the “Max Fill Line” and clean the filters.
