Toreduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when using

your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precautions including the following:

Read this manual before assembling or using

your vacuum cleaner.

Use your cleaner only as described in this manual. Use only with recommended

attachments. Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

Electrical shock could occur.

Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out brush area. Failure to do so

could result in electrical shock or brush suddenly starting.

Always turn cleaner off before connecting or disconnecting the hose or POWER-MATET M

Always turn cleaner off before unplugging. Do not unplug by pulling •on cord. To unplug,

grasp the plug, not the cord. Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel. Do

not allow plug to whip when rewinding. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If

cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or

dropped into water, return it to a Sears Service Center/Department.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord

around sharp edges or corners. Do not run cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from

heated surfaces .....

Do not leave cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before servicing. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close

attention is necessary when used by or near children.

Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet hands. Do not operate cleaner with a punctured

hose. The hose contains electrical wires. Replace if cut or worn. Avoid picking up

sharp objects.

Do not put any objects into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep

free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce airflow.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and

moving parts. Do not use cleaner without dust bag and/or

filters in place. Always change the dust bag after vacuuming carpet cleaners or fresheners, powders and fine dust. These products clog the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the bag to burst. Failure to change could cause permanent damage to

the cleaner.

Do not use the cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper, etc. They may damage the cleaner or dust bag.

Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or

hot ashes.

Do not use cleaner to pick up flammable or combustible liquids (gasoline, cleaning fluids, perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they may be present. The fumes from these

substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do

not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on floor.

You are responsible for making sure that your vacuum cleaner is not used by anyone

unable to operate it properly.
