Important Safety Instructions

Important Safety Instructions (cont.)

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING

Read all instructions before using vacuum cleaner. Use only as described in this manual, and follow all label and marking instructions found on unit. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY:

• Indoor use only. Store indoors.

• Fully assemble before operating.

• DO NOT use without dust bags and/or ﬁlters installed.

•

DO NOT leave power cord lying on ﬂoor when not in use. It can become a tripping hazard.

•

DO NOT use to pick up ﬂammable or combustible liquids. DO NOT use in areas where these substances may be present. Electrical devices produce arcs or sparks that can cause explosions.

DO NOT use anywhere that gasoline is dispensed.

DO NOT use in an enclosed space where

• ﬂammable, explosive, or toxic vapors are given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, certain mothprooﬁng substances, or in an area where ﬂammable dust is present.

• DO NOT pick up toxic/carcinogenic/hazardous materials such as chlorine, bleach, drain cleaner, gasoline, asbestos, pesticides, or lead.

• If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should— or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or exposed to water—discontinue use immediately and take it to a service center for inspection. Call 1-866-524-5233 to ﬁnd a location near you.

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your vaccum cleaner will assure continued effective cleaning performance.

1. Always use genuine Rubbermaid Commercial

Products replacement parts.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician or service person if you are unsure if an outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance to ﬁt an outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the sketch below. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same conﬁguration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.

• DO NOT leave unattended when plugged in. Unplug

from outlet when not in use, and before servicing.

• DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces. DO NOT

handle vacuum cleaner or plug with wet hands.

• Only plug vacuum cleaner into a properly grounded outlet. See grounding instructions.

• DO NOT unplug by pulling on power cord. To unplug from an outlet, pull by the plug, not the cord.

• DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug.

• DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. DO NOT run vacuum cleaner over power cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• DO NOT use with an extension cord.

• Turn on/off switch to “off” before unplugging.

DO NOT pick up any materials that are burning or

• smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

• During use, keep hose, wands, and other openings away from your face and body. Keep hands, feet, hair, loose clothing, and other body parts away from moving parts.

• DO NOT put any object into openings. DO NOT

use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air ﬂow.

• Only use manufacturer’s recommended attachments.

• Use with caution on stairs.

• Use with caution when vacuuming over area rug edges and fringe.

•

DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary during use by or around children.

2. Replace paper bag frequently.

3. Occasionally remove brush roll and clean debris from end caps to keep brush rotating smoothly.

Electrical Grounding

This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current. This reduces the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor, and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
