WARNING

Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrlcal shock, injury to persons or

damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precautions.

Use your vacuum cleaner only as described in

this manual. Use only with Sears

recommended attachments.

Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out brush area. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or brush suddenly starting.

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

To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close

attention is necessary when used by or near children.

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 Sears Service Center.

Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do

not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on floor.

Do not use vacuum cleaner to pick up flammable or combustible liquids (gasoline, cleaning fluids, perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they may be present. The fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

Do not use vacuum cleaner without dust bag and/or filters in place.

Always change the dust bag after vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener, powders and fine dust. These products clog the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the bag to burst. Failure to change bag could cause permanent damage to the vacuum cleaner.

clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum cleaner or dust bag.

Do not operate vacuum cleaner without the exhaust filter or exhaust filter door in place.

Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

Do not put any objects into openings.

Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce airflow.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

Turn offall controlsbefore unplugging.

The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use when damaged, cut, or punctured. Replace if cut or worn. Do not pick up sharp objects.

Always turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting either hose, Handi-Mate Jr.® (if applicable), or nozzle.
