Important Safety Instructions

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions must always be followed.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug; one blade is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Connect only to the outlet type specified on the serial number plate underneath the machine.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:

1.Do not leave vacuum while plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.

2.Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
