WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electric 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 supplied attachments. To reduce the risk of electric shock Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out brush area. Failure to do so could result in electric shock or brush suddenly starting.
Always turn cleaner off before connecting or disconnecting the hose.
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.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around
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 the cleaner with a punctured hose. Replace if cut or worn. Avoid vacuuming sharp objects.
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.
Do not use cleaner without dust bag and/or
filters in place.
Always change the dust bag after vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener, powders and fine dust. These products clog the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the bag to burst. Failure
to change bag 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.

in areas where they may be present. The fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard
or explosion.
