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 expose to rain. Store indoors.
•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, return it to a service center 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.
•Connect to a properly grounded outlet only (refer to Grounding Instructions).
•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. 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 fireplace or barbeque ashes. Live sparks or embers could start a fire in waste material inside the tank.
•Do not use without motor filter or with a damaged filter.
•Use safety goggles to avoid the discharge air as particles in the air could cause eye damage.
•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•If the machine tips over during use, shut it off immediately, set it upright, and wait for the motor to stop completely. This allows the ball float to return to normal position and permits proper airflow through the cleaner.
•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 and in a cool, dry area.
•Keep your work area well lighted.
•Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
