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.

•Use indoors only.

•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 manufacturerʼs 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 ball float and cage in place.

•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.

•Do not use any cleaners marked flammable or combustible.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment- grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.

Figure A

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
