When using electrical appliances, basic safety pre-
cautions should always be followed, including the
following:
Read all instructions.
I Close supervision is necessary when any appli-
ance is used by or near children. Do not allow to
be used as a toy.
I Do not use the vacuum to pick up toxic sub-
stances, flammable or combustible liquids, such
as gasoline, or operate in the presence of explo-
sive or flammable fumes.
I Do not operate in the presence of explosives
and/or flammable fumes or liquids.
I To protect against fire, electric shock and injury
to persons, do not immerse the cord or plug in
water or other liquid.
I Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the unit by
the cord or yank to disconnect from an outlet;
instead, be sure the vacuum is OFF, then grasp
the plug and pull to disconnect. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces. Do not pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. Do not run the vacuum
over the cord.
I Keep hair, clothing, and all parts of body away
from openings and moving parts.
I Do not insert/attach accessories while unit is
running.
