SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: When using vacuum cleaner, safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury,
including the following.

READ ALL THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

1. Do not use the cleaner without the filter.

Replace a damaged filter immediately.

2. USE OF EXTENSION CORD. When using an

extension cord because of the great distance
to your power source, try to employ a cord that
is sufficiently thick but not too long, or cleaner
performance will be adversely affected. For
outdoor applications use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.

3. VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the

cleaner to a power source (receptacle, outlet,
etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same
as that specified on the nameplate of the
cleaner. A power source with voltage greater
than that specified for the cleaner can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user ? as well as
damage to the cleaner. If in doubt, DO NOT
PLUG IN THE CLEANER. Using a power
source with voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to the motor.

4. AVOID UNINT EN TION AL STARTI NG. B e sur e

switch is OFF when plugging in.

5. Do not attempt to pick up flammable materials,

fire works, lighted cigarettes, hot ashes, hot
metal chips, sharp materials such as razors,
needles, broken glass or the like.

6. NEVER USE THE CLEANER IN THE VICINITY

OF GASOLINE, GAS, PAINT, ADHESIVES OR
OTHER HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES.
The switch emits sparks when turned ON and
OFF. And so does the motor commutator
during operation. A dangerous explosion may

result.

7. Never vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic,

combustible or other hazardous materials
such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium,
lead, pesticides, or other health endangering
materials.

8. Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.

9. Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).

10. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent

body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.

11. Do not block cooling vents. These vents

permit cooling of the motor. Blockage should
be carefully avoided otherwise the motor will
burn out from lack of ventilation.

12. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

13. DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry the

cleaner by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.

14. Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.

15. Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice

poor performance or anything abnormal
during operation.

16. DISCONNECT THE CLEANER. When not in use,

before servicing, and when changing
accessories.

17. Clean and service the cleaner immediately

after each use to keep it in tiptop operating
condition.

18. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep

the cleaner clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Inspect cleaner cords
periodically and if damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use

of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is

3

damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or othe r part tha t is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by
authorized service center. Don’t use the
cleaner if switch does not turn it on and off.

20. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use

only identical replacement parts.

21. STORE IDLE CLEANER. When not in use, the

cleaner should be stored indoors.

22. Be kind to your cleaner. Rough handling can

cause breakage of even the most sturdily built
cleaner.

23. Do not attempt to clean the exterior or interior

with benzine, thinner or cleaning chemicals.
Cracks and discoloration may be caused.

24. Do not use cleaner in an enclosed space

where flammable, explosive or toxic vapors
are given off by oil-base paint, paint-thinner,
gasoline, some mothproofing substances, etc.,
or in areas where flammable dust is present.

25. Do not leave the cleaner cord lying on the floor

after you have finished a cleaning job. It can
become a tripping hazard or may cause
damage to the cleaner.

26. Do not operate this or any tool while under the

influence of drugs or alcohol.

27. As a basic rule of safety, use safety goggles or

safety glasses with side shields.

28. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions.

29. The cleaner is not intended for use by young

children or infirm persons without
supervision.

30. Young chi ldre n s houl d b e supe rvis ed to

ensure that they do not play with the cleaner.

31. Never handle plug cord or cleaner with wet

hands.

32. Use extreme caution when cleaning on stairs.
