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 pre-
cautions
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 Sears recom-
mended attachments.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock -
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Disconnect
electrical
supply before any
servicing or cleaning.
Failure to do so
could result in electrical
shock or per-
sonal injury.
Always turn cleaner off before unplug-
ging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not use with damaged
cord or plug.
tf cleaner is not working as it should,
has been dropped,
damaged,
left out-
doors, or dropped
into water, return it to
a Sears Service Cdnter.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord
as a handle, close door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners.
Do not run cleaner over cord. Keep cord
away from heated surfaces.
Do not leave cleaner when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary
when used by or
near children.
Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet
hands.
Do not put any objects
into openings.
Do not use with any opening blocked;
keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything
that may reduce air flow.
Keep hair, loose clothing,
fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts.
Do not use cleaner without dust bin
and/or filters in place.
Always clean the dust bin after vacuum-
ing carpet cleaners or freshener,
pow-
ders and fine dust. These products clog
the filters, reduce airflow and can cause
damage to the cleaner. Failure to clean
the dust bin could cause permanent
damage to the cleaner.
Do not use the cleaner to pick up sharp
hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc.
They may damage the clean-
er or dust bin.
Do not pick up anything that is burning
or smoking, such as cigarettes,
match-
es, or hot ashes.
Do not use cleaner to pick up flamma-
ble or combustible
liquids (gasoline,
cleaning fluids, perfumes,
etc.), or use in
areas where they may be present.
The
fumes from these substances
can create
a fire hazard or explosion.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep
on floor.
You are responsible
for making sure
that your vacuum cleaner is not used by
anyone unable to operate it properly.
