4. Clean the water level limiting device regularly
and examine it for signs of damage.
5. Do not use the cleaner without the filter.

affected. For outdoor applications use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
7. VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the
cleaner to a power source (receptacle, outlet,
etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same
as that specified on the nameplate of the
cleaner. A power source with voltage greater
than that specified for the cleaner can result
in SERIOUS INJURY to the operator as well as
damage to the cleaner. If in doubt, DO NOT
PLUG IN THE CLEANER. Using a power
source with voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to the motor.
8. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure
switch is OFF when plugging in.
9. Do not attempt to pick up flammable materials,
fire works, lighted cigarettes, hot ashes, hot
metal chips, sharp materials such as razors,
needles, broken glass or the like.
10. NEVER USE THE CLEANER IN THE VICINITY
OF GASOLINE, GAS, PAINT, ADHESIVES OR
OTHER HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES.
The switch emits sparks when turned ON and
OFF. And so does the motor commutator
during operation. A dangerous explosion may
result.
11. Never
combustible or other hazardous materials
such as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium,
lead, pesticides, or other health endangering
materials.
ENB119-5
12. Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.
13. Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).
14. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent
body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator
enclosures.
15. Do not block cooling vents. These vents
permit cooling of the motor. Blockage should
be carefully avoided otherwise the motor will
burn out from lack of ventilation.
16. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
17. DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry the
cleaner by cord or yank it to disconnect from
