Always follow all safety precautions when cleaning and servicing the vacuum cleaner.
Electrical Shock Or Personal Injury
Hazard
Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning the unit. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injuryfrom cleaner suddenly starting.
If the cleaner does not seem to have ade- quate suction, first check if the dust bag is full or if a filter is clogged. See DUST BAG CHANGING and FILTER CHANG- ING.
If the bag and filter areas are free of clogs, check the hose area. Remove the lower end of the stretch hose from the cleaner by grasping the hose collar, twist- ing, and pulling straight out.
