IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
1. Do not leave appliance unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
2. WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR IF USED OUTDOORS OR ON WET SURFACES.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
5. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center. Wrapping the cord too tightly
puts stress on the cord and can cause cord damage. A damaged cord is an electrical shock hazard and
could cause personal injury or damage.
6. 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 appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull straight out of electrical outlet.
8. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
9. Turn off all controls before unplugging.
10. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair
and anything that may reduce air flow.
11. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts.
12. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
13. Do not use without vacuum filters in place.
14. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
15. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
16. Do not attempt to service the unit while appliance is plugged in.
17. Do not allow vacuum cleaner to remain in one spot for any length of time when the brushroll is turning.

This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug fits into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
