SSAVE TTHESE IINSTRUCTIONS
This vacuum cleaner will afford you many
years of trouble-free operating satisfaction,
provided it is given proper care. All parts
have passed rigid quality control standards
prior to being assembled to produce the
finished product. Prior to packaging, this
vacuum was again inspected for assurance
of flawless assembly.
Your vacuum is protectively packed to pre-
vent damage in shipment. We recommend
that upon delivery, unpack the vacuum and
inspect it for any possible damage. Only a
visual examination will reveal damage that
may have occurred.
If damage is discovered, immediately notify
the transportation company that delivered
your vacuum. As a shipper, we are unable
to report claims for concealed damage.
You must originate any claims within 5
days.
This manual is for your protection and
information. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
since failure to follow precautions could
result in discomfort or injury.
READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE
OPERATING
Electric shock could occur if used on wet surfaces.
DO NOT expose to rain - Store Indoors
When using this electric vacuum, basic precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1) DO NOT leave the vacuum when
plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet
when not in use and before servicing.
2) This is NOT a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used around or near
children.
3) Use this vacuum only as described
in this safety manual. Use only manu-
facturer’s recommended attachments
and accessories.
4) DO NOT use the vacuum with dam-
aged cord or plug. If the vacuum is not
working as it should, because it has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors
or dropped into water, contact an
authorized service center or factory.
5) DO NOT pull vacuum by the cord, use
cord as a handle, close a door on the
cord or pull cord around sharp edges
and corners. DO NOT run vacuum over
the cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
6) DO NOT unplug the vacuum by pulling
on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
7) DO NOT handle the vacuum plug or
vacuum with wet hands.
8) DO NOT put any objects into open-
ings. DO NOT use with any openings
blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
9) Turn OFF all of the controls before
unplugging.
10) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers,
and all parts of the body away from
openings and moving parts.
11) DO NOT pick up anything that is
smoking or burning such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
12) DO NOT use without dust bag
and/or filters in place.
13) Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.
14) DO NOT use this vacuum to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids such
as gasoline or use in areas where they
may be present.
15) DO NOT use where anesthetics or
oxygen is used.
16) Replace damaged or worn parts
immediately with genuine original equip-
ment parts to maintain safety and to
protect your limited warranty.
17) DO NOT use an extension cord
unless absolutely necessary. If an exten-
sion cord is used, then wire size must
be #14 gauge or larger and should not
exceed 50 feet in length. The extension
cord must be three-wire type to insure
GROUNDING protection.
This vacuum must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet only. See
grounding instructions (Page 3).

SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
PAGE 2
WARNING:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
GGROUNDING
IINSTRUCTIONS
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If
it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resist-
ance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This vacuum is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropri-
ate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug
is necessary, DO NOT connect the ground-
ed wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an outer sur-
face that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
GGROUNDING
MMETHODS
This electric equipment is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in (Fig A). A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B
& C) may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green color rigid ear, lug or the like
extending from the adaptor must be con-
nected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw. (See Fig B)
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a 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 equipment. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.

brancher ou de débrancher la brosse à
moteur.
16) Ne brancher qu'à une prise de
courant avec mise àla terre. Voir les
instructions visant la mise à la terre.
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En
cas dé défaillance ou de panne
éventuelles, la mise à la terre fournit au
courant un chemin de moindre résis-
tance qui réduit le risque de choc élec-
trique. Cet appareil est pourvu d'un cor-
don muni d'un conducteur de terre et
d'une fiche avec broche de terre. La
fiche doit être branchée dans une prise
appropriée correctement instalée et
mise à la terre conformément aux règle-
ments et ordonnances municipaux.
Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120V et est
muni d'une fiche de mise à la terre semblable à
celle illustrée par le croquis A de la figure "A".
S'assurer que l'appareil est branché à une prise de
courant ayant la même configuration que la fiche.
Aucun adaptatteur ne devrait être utilisé avec cet
appareil.
AVERTISSEMENT
Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé
peut entraîner un risque de choc élec-
trique. Consulter un électricien ou un
technicien d'entretien qualifié si vous
n'êtes pas certain que la prise soit cor-
rectement mise à la terre. Ne pas mod-
ifier la fiche fournie avec l'appareil-si elle
ne peut être inséreé dans la prise, faire
installer une prise adéquate par un élec-
tricien qualifié.

Your vacuum has an indicator light which
will flash RED if the bag is full or airflow is
obstructed. When the indicator light is on,
open the door and check the bag.
If the bag is full, replace it. If is not full
and the light is ON, there is an obstruction
in the system. Check the hose and wand
first. If they are clear, check the inlet in the
power brush base by removing wand from
the inlet and viewing the air path from the
inlet to the brush. If this area is clear,
remove the bag and check deflector port in
the top of vacuum housing.
Thermal Overload On
Vacuum Motor
This vacuum is equipped with a sensor that
shuts off the vacuum motor if the internal
temperature is too high. This is normally
created by an obstruction in the system
cutting off the air flow.
If the motor stops during use:
A. Turn OFF main switch.
B. Unplug vacuum from receptacle.
C. Inspect and remove obstruction.
The motor will automatically restart when
the switch ON and when has motor cooled-
sufficiently.
