When using your Vacuum Cleaner, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

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

If you are unsure of the voltage supply in your area, consult a qualified electrician. Connecting the vacuum cleaner to a higher voltage than indicated in these instructions may result in damage to the vacuum cleaner and/or personal injury.

2.Do not leave the vacuum cleaner while unplugged in. Unplug from the outlet when not in use, and before servicing.
