How to use

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, 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.

After assembling cleaner, plug cord into electrical outlet. Turn cleaner on by depressing ON-OFF pedal.

To turn cleaner off, depress pedal again.

On some models two switches are

used to turn the cleaner on for operation.

Press remote control switch on hand

grip to the “OFF” position before

plugging cord into electrical outlet.

CORD REWIND

Check bag

indicator

The indicator will begin to show red as bag fills with dirt. There are three conditions that will cause the indicator to become completely red:

1. The bag is full; change the bag.

2. Very fine materials (such as powder) have been picked up, clogging the bag pores; change the bag, even if it is not full.

3. There is an obstruction in the nozzle, hose, tools, or at the bag opening; remove the obstruction.
