IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock DO NOT expose to rain. Store indoors.

• Guard against electrical shock by preventing body contact with grounded surfaces. For example, pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator, enclosures.

• Polarized plugs. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it  still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

• Disconnect tools. Unplug the vacuum cleaner when not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off when plugging in any tool.

• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off.

• Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.

• Inspect tool cords periodically. If damaged, have repaired by a qualified service technician at an authorized service facility. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the  equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. Stay  constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the rotating brushes.

• Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.

• When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
  Contain long hair. Keep your hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of the body and clothing, away from openings and moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in internal moving parts.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the product in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

• Use safety equipment. Dust mask must be used for appropriate conditions.

• Do not allow children to operate product or play with product as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.

• Use this product ONLY for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only the attachments recommended in this manual.

• Do not handle plug or power cord with wet hands.

• Do not use with damaged cord or plug, if product is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.

• 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 appliance over cord. Keep cord away heated surfaces.

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

• This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 V, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a  loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

• Do not put any objects in ventilation openings. Do not use with any opening blocked. Keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.

• NEVER vacuum materials that are burning or smoking, such as hot coals, cigarette butts, matches, burning or smoking ashes, etc.

• DO NOT use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be present.

• Do not use without dirt cup or filter in place.

• Use extra care when using vacuum hose or accessories on stairs.
  To avoid personal injury or damage, and to prevent the vacuum from falling, always place vacuum at bottom of stairs on floor. Do not place vacuum on stairs or furniture.

• Do not use to pick up hard objects such as nails, screws, coins, etc. Damage or injury could result.

• Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is severely damaged.

• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the product’s operation. If damaged, have the product serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained products.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used on another product.

• Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

• Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning or servicing.

• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
