IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions
should be followed, including the following:
WARNING
Read all instructions before using vacuum
cleaner. Use only as described in this
manual, and follow all label and marking
instructions found on unit. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY:
• DO NOT expose to rain. Store indoors.
• Fully assemble before operating.
• D O NOT use without dust bags and/or filters installed.
• D O NOT leave unattended when plugged in. Unplug
from outlet when not in use, and before servicing.
• DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces. DO NOT
handle vacuum cleaner or plug with wet hands.
• Only plug vacuum cleaner into a properly grounded
outlet. See "Electrical Grounding" instructions.
• DO NOT unplug by pulling on power cord. To unplug
from an outlet, pull by the plug, not the cord.
• DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug.
• 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 vacuum cleaner over
power cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Turn on/off switch to "off" before unplugging.
• DO NOT leave power cord lying on floor when not
in use. It can become a tripping hazard.
• DO NOT use to pick up flammable or combustible
liquids. DO NOT use in areas where these
substances may be present. Electrical devices
produce arcs or sparks that can cause explosions.
DO NOT use anywhere that gasoline is dispensed.
• DO NOT use in an enclosed space where
flammable, explosive, or toxic vapors are given
off by oil base paint, paint thinner, certain
mothproofing substances, or in an area where
flammable dust is present.
• DO NOT pick up toxic/carcinogenic/hazardous
materials such as chlorine, bleach, drain cleaner,
gasoline, asbestos, pesticides, or lead.
• DO NOT pick up any materials that are burning or
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• During use, keep hose, wands, and other
openings away from your face and body. Keep
hands, feet, hair, loose clothing, and other body
parts away from moving parts.
• DO NOT put any object into openings. DO NOT
use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair, or anything that may reduce air flow.
• Only use manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Use with caution on stairs.
• Use with caution when vacuuming over area rug
edges and fringe.
• DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary during use by or around children.
• If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should—
or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
exposed to water—discontinue use immediately
and take it to a service center for inspection.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your vaccum cleaner will
assure continued effective cleaning performance.
1. Always use genuine Rubbermaid Commercial
Products replacement parts.
2. Replace paper bag frequently.
3. Clean or replace cloth bag, intake filter, and
exhaust filter/HEPA filter as necessary.

Thermal Protector

This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a self-resetting
thermal protector to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates, the vacuum
cleaner's motor will stop running. The motor will
restart after cooling down. To prevent repeated
tripping of the thermal protector, clear all restrictions
out of hose and tools. Replace the paper bag, and
clean or replace the cloth bag and intake filter if
necessary. Clear all restrictions to exhaust air flow.

Electrical Grounding/Cord Info

This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit
malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current. This reduces the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor,
and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are unsure if an
outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT
modify the plug provided with the
appliance to fit an outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
ENGLISH
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in the sketch below. Make sure
that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor
should be used with this appliance.
