• Do not vacuum areas which contain moisture
or water, flammable matter, needles, pins, razor
blades, matches, cigarettes, etc., since they
may damage the vacuum or vacuum bag.
• Make sure a vacuum bag and filters are always
inserted.
• When rewinding the power cord, hold the plug
before pressing the cord rewind button to
prevent the cord from whipping.
• This product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug
fits into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
This vacuum cleaner should be used for normal, dry household dust and dirt.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by use or operation of the vacuum
contrary to these instructions.
If the vacuum is wrongly operated for a purpose other than that for which it is intended, no liability can be
accepted for any possible damage.
