Personal injury or product damage could result.
• Keep children away and beware of obstructions
when rewinding the cord to prevent personal
injury.
The cord moves rapidly when rewinding.
• Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or
cleaning the unit or when cleaner is not in use.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or
personal injury.
• Do not use vacuum cleaner to pick up anything
that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, or
hot ashes.
Doing so could result in death, fire or electrical shock.
• Do not vacuum flammable or explosive
substances such as gasoline, benzene, thinners,
propane (liquids or gases).
The fumes from these substances can create a fire
hazard or explosion. Doing so could result in death or
personal injury.
• Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet
hands.
Doing so could result in death or electrical shock.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord.
Doing so could result in product damage or electrical
shock. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of
the body away from openings and moving parts.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or
personal injury.
• 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 cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or
personal injury or fire or product damage.

Thermal protector :
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum cleaner in case of motor
overheating. If the vacuum cleaner suddenly shuts off, turn off the switch and unplug the vacuum
cleaner. Check the vacuum cleaner for possible source of overheating such as a full dust tank, a
blocked hose or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before
attempting to use the vacuum cleaner. After the 30 minute period, plug the vacuum cleaner back in and
turn on the switch.
