WARNING
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precautions
including the following:

Read this manual before assembling or using
your vacuum cleaner.
Use your cleaner only as described in this
manual. Use only with suppliedattachments.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do not
use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

or cleaning out brush area. Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock or brush
suddenly starting.
Always turn cleaner off before connecting or
disconnecting the hose.
Always turn cleaner off before unplugging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
Hold plug when rewinding onto cord reel.
Do not allow plug to whip when rewinding.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
cleaner is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped
