DOUBLE-INSULATED INSTRUCTIONS:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner 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.

If the opening that sucks in the air or the suction pipe is blocked, switch off the vacuum cleaner at once and clear the block­age before you attempt to start the vacuum cleaner again.

Special NOTE: This vacuum’s motor is equipped with thermal overheat protection. If the motor runs too hot, it will shut
down. You must wait for the motor to cool in order to re-start vacuum. Cleaning the filter will help prevent a repeat of this
condition.
