IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be observed, including the
following:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY:
1 DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
2 Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before
servicing.
3 DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug.
If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water,
return it to SharkNinja Operating LLC for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
4 DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the
cord as a handle.
5 DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord; to unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
6 DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
7 DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the power cord, close
a door on the cord or pull cord around sharp corners.
8 The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
9 DO NOT leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in.
10 Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
11 Turn off all controls before plugging or unplugging the
vacuum cleaner.
12 Always turn off the vacuum cleaner before connecting or
disconnecting motorized nozzle.
13 Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured
around the two cord holders - as shown in the storage
instructions.
GENERAL USE
14 Use only as described in this manual.
15 DO NOT put any objects into openings. DO NOT use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
16 Keep your work area well lit.
17 Keep the vacuum cleaner moving over the carpet surface at
all times to avoid damaging the carpet fibers.
18 DO NOT place vacuum cleaner on unstable surfaces such
as chairs or tables.
19 DO NOT allow young children to operate the vacuum
cleaner or use as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
20 DO NOT use without dust cup and/or filters in place.
WAND ATTACHMENTS
21 DO NOT use if air flow is restricted; if the air paths, the
wand, or the
accessories become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off.
Remove all obstructions before you turn on the unit again.
22 Keep the end of the wand and accessory openings away
from face and body.
23 Keep cleaning tools and wand suction openings away from
hair, face, fingers, uncovered feet, or loose clothing.
24 Only use manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
DUST CUP/FILTERS/ACCESSORIES
Before turning on the vacuum:
25 Make sure that all filters are thoroughly dry after routine
cleaning.
26 Make sure that dust cup and all filters are in place after
routine maintenance.
27 Make sure accessories are free of blockages.
28 Only use filters and accessories provided by SharkNinja
Operating LLC. [Failure to do so will void the warranty.]

ent from paint, paint thinner, moth-proofing substances,

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT force into outlet or try to modify to fit.
