GENERAL INFORMATION
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug will fi t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
The bag may have come dislodged in shipping. Check the bag to insure proper seating before attempting to use the cleaner. Do not operate the cleaner without a dust bag or the fi lters. Damage may result to the motor (see Dust Bag and Filter).
The cleaner is designed to pick up dirt and dust particles. Avoid picking up hard or sharp objects with the cleaner to avoid bag breakage, hose clogging, or possible motor damage.
