WARNING:
IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY
all safety warnings and all instructions BEFORE
USE. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. Before use, make sure that this cleaner must
be used by people who have been adequately
instructed on the use of this cleaner.
2. Before use, operators shall be provided with
information, instruction and training for the
use of the machine and the substances for
which it is to be used, including the safe
method of removal and disposal of the mate-
rial collected.

3.
immediately.
4. Clean the water level limiting device regularly
and examine it for signs of damage.
5. Do not use the cleaner without the filter.
Replace a damaged filter immediately.
6. USE OF EXTENSION CORD. When using an
extension cord because of the great distance
to your power source, try to employ a cord that
is sufficiently thick but not too long, or cleaner
performance will be adversely affected. For
outdoor applications use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the
7.
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.
Do not attempt to pick up flammable materials,
9.
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 vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic, com-
bustible or other hazardous materials such
as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium,
lead, pesticides, or other health endangering
materials.
