attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings
and instructions for future reference!
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate vacuum cleaners in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Vacuum cleaners
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

ating a vacuum cleaner. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Vacuum cleaners plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) vacuum
cleaners. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Protect the vacuum cleaner from rain or damp
conditions. Do not immerse the cleaner or spray it
with a jet of water. Improper use can lead to elec-
trical shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the vacuum
cleaner. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
