IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
• Fully assemble before operating.
• Operate vacuum only at voltage specified on data label on bottom of cleaner.
• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning or servicing.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Not intended for use by children age 12 and under.
Close supervision is necessary when used near children. To avoid injury or damage,
keep children away from product, and do not allow children to place fingers or other
objects into any openings.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments and products.
• 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, take it to a service
center prior to continuing use.
• 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 place product on cord. 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 plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free
of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts. Brushroll continues to rotate when in the upright position.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. To avoid personal injury or damage, and to
prevent the cleaner from falling, always place cleaner at bottom of stairs on floor.
Do not place cleaner on stairs or furniture, as it may result in injury or damage.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or fine
wood sandings, or use in areas where they may be present.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
• Do not use without Dust bag and Filters in place.
• WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.

• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your
appliance. Table (A) shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
• Use only three-wire outdoor SJ or SJT-type cords that have three-prong grounding
plugs and grounding receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug.
• To reduce the risk or personal injury due to a loose connection between the appliance’s plug and the extension cord, firmly and fully attach the appliance plug to
the extension cord. Periodically check the connection while operating to ensure it
is fully attached. Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose connection. A
loose connection may result in overheating, fire and increase the risk of burning.
• Maintain Appliance With Care- Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE:
• Avoid picking up hard, sharp objects with this product, as they may cause damage.
• Store in a dry place. Do not expose machine to freezing temperatures.
• Brushroll continues to turn while product is turned on and handle is in upright
position. To avoid damage to carpet, rugs, furniture and flooring, avoid tipping cleaner
or setting it on furniture, fringed area rugs, or carpeted stairs during tool use.
• Do not use sharp objects to clean out hose as they can cause damage.
This appliance must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A).
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in the risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in
sketch (1)- see page 4
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
• Do not use appliance with damaged cords or plugs. When servicing, refer to a
qualified electrician or service person only. Use only identical replacement parts.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your
appliance. Table (A) shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (E) if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be
installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
