2. Use only identical replacement parts.

Carefully observe and follow the instructions provided below to avoid improper use of the appliance. DO NOT use the vacuum for any purpose other than those described in this manual.

4. Before use, carefully inspect all parts for any damage. DO NOT use if any parts are damaged.

USE WARNINGS

7. This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children. Do not allow the appliance to be used by children. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close supervision is necessary when used near children.

8. Always turn off the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting any motorized nozzles or other accessories.

9. DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

10. DO NOT use without filters in place.

11. Only use Shark® branded filters

and accessories. Failure to do so will also void the warranty.

12. DO NOT damage the power cord:

a) DO NOT pull or carry vacuum

cleaner by the cord or use the cord as a handle.

b) DO NOT unplug by pulling on

cord. Grasp the plug, not the cord.

c) DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner

over the power cord, close a door on the cord, pull the cord around sharp corners, or leave the cord near heated surfaces.

13. DO NOT put any objects into nozzle or accessory openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce airflow.

14. DO NOT use if nozzle or accessory airflow is restricted. If the air paths or the motorized floor nozzle become blocked, turn the vacuum cleaner off and unplug from electrical outlet. Remove all obstructions before you plug in and turn on the unit again.
