MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICING DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS

This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated unit, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. There is no grounding provided and no means of grounding should be added to this unit.

Extreme care and knowledge of the system is required when servicing a double-insulated unit. Service should be performed by qualified service personnel only.

Replacement parts for a double-insulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace. Refer any repair to an authorized service dealer. A double-insulated unit is marked with the words “double insulation” or “double insulated.”

CLEANING THE UNIT

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,

always turn your unit off and unplug it before you clean or service it.

Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.

3.Wash the bag once a year or more often if needed:

a.Remove the vacuum bag.

b.Turn bag inside out.

c.Hang it up.

d.Hose it down thoroughly.

e.Hang to dry.

f.Turn bag right-side out and reinstall.

STORAGE

•Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage.

•Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.

•Store the unit out of the reach of children.

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS

Inspect all extension cords periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Inspect the connectors for damage. Replace cords if defective or damaged.

CLEANING THE VACUUM BAG

1.Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of the vacuum.

2.Wearing eye protection and a dust mask, clean the bag as needed. Turn the bag inside out after initial emptying and vigorously shake out dust and debris.
