1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING VACUUM CLEANER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
 Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing.
 Do not use outdoors.
 Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
 Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
 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.
 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.
 Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
 Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
 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 airflow.
 Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided
with the appliance. If it will not
fit into the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding
attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated. Make sure that the appliance
is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this appliance.

12/1/2017
USING EXTENSION CORDS
The machine comes standard with a 50 foot, 16 gauge, 3 conductor cord (50’
16/3 AWG). Do not use an extension cord in conjunction with the cord
provided with the machine. Replacement cords must meet or exceed the
specification of the original cord.
WARNING: Do not use an extension cord that provides a loose connection.
A loose connection may result in overheating, fire, and
increases the risk of a burning.
Maintain Appliance With Care – Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Wrap the cord carefully around the handle as shown
below when not in use.
