IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

WARNING

Read all instructions before using vacuum
cleaner. Follow all label and marking
instructions found on unit. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or death.

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

•DO NOTexposer to rain. Store indoors.

•Fully assemble before operating.

• 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.

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

•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 “Electrical 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 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 openings and 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 only as described in this manual.

• Use with caution on stairs.

• Use with caution when vacuuming over area rug

edges and fringe.

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

• DO NOT leave power cord lying on floor when not

in use. It can become a tripping hazard.

• DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention

is necessary during use by or around children.

• 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)

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 vacuum cleaner will
assure continued effective cleaning performance.

1. Always use genuine Rubbermaid Commercial

Products replacement parts.

2. Replace paper bag frequently.

3. Clean or replace exhaust filter as necessary.

Thermal Protector

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 50-foot grounded extension cord
that looks like the illustration in the sketch below.
Wrap cord on rim caddy as shown in Step 6, on page

9. 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.

This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a self-resetting
thermal protector to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates, the vacuum
cleaner’s motor will stop running. The motor will
restart after cooling down. To prevent repeated
tripping of the thermal protector, clear all restrictions
out of hose, wand and tools. Replace the paper bag,
and clean or replace the exhaust filter if necessary.
Clear all restrictions to exhaust air flow.

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.

WARNING

FIRE OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD

Use only a 16 gauge or higher
3-wire SJT extension cord with
this vacuum cleaner. Using a

cord of different type or AWG
may result in increased risk of fire or
electrical shock.
