IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury:

• Do not leave the vacuum plugged in when
unattended. Unplug the electrical cord
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, pets or plants.

• Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer’s recommended
accessories.

• Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle,
close a door on cord, or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.

•Use only extension cords UL-rated or cUL
at 15 amperes. Extension cords rated for
less amperage may overheat. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord
cannot be pulled or tripped over.

• Turn off all controls as applicable before
unplugging from electrical outlet.

• Do not handle plug or vacuum with wet
hands or operate without shoes.

• Do not put any objects into openings. Do
not use with any opening blocked. Keep free
of dust, lint, hair and anything else that may
reduce air flow.

• Store your appliance indoors in a cool, dry
area.

• Keep your work area well lit.

• Keep end of hose, wands and other
openings away from your face and body.

• Use only on dry surfaces.

• Using improper voltage may result in
damage to the motor and possible injury to
the user. Correct voltage is listed on rating
label.

When using your Vacuum basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the
following:

1. Read all instructions before using your
vacuum.

2. Use the system only for its intended use.

3. To protect against a risk of electric shock, do

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.

6. Do not run appliance over cord.

7. Do not operate the system with a damaged
cord or plug, or if the appliance or any other
part of the system has been dropped or
damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock,
do not disassemble or attempt to repair the
vacuum. Return the system to EURO-PRO
Operating LLC (see warranty) for
examination and repair. Incorrect re-assembly
or repair can cause a risk of electrical shock
or injury to persons when the vacuum is used.

Do not leave the system unattended while
connected.

9. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all

13. Do not use the vacuum without the filter in
place.

14. This appliance is intended only for
household use. Follow all user instructions
in this manual.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance 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
modify the plug in any way.

WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the
State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after

handling.
