Vacuum Cleaner Safety
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
•Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.
•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 vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have unit serviced before using.
•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.
•Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
•Turn off all controls before unplugging.
•Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner 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.
•This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Some models contain a revolving brush roll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
•Do not use without dust cup filter in place.
•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.
•Store your cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
•Keep your work area well lighted.
•Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
