VACUUM CLEANER SAFETY
WARNINGS
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.
Before use, make sure that this cleaner must
1.
be used by people who have been adequately
instructed on the use of this cleaner.
2. Only use the socket outlet on the cleaner for
purposes specified in the instructions.
3. If foam/liquid comes out, switch off
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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORD. When using an
6.
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.
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.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure
8.
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 vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic, com-
bustible or other hazardous materials such
as asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium,
lead, pesticides, or other health endangering
materials.
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 per-
mit 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 recepta-
cle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Inspect cleaner cords periodically and
if damaged, have repaired by authorized ser-
vice facility. Inspect extension cords periodi-
cally and replace if damaged.
18. Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.
19. Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice
poor performance or anything abnormal
during operation.
20. DISCONNECT THE CLEANER. When not in
use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories.
21. Clean and service the cleaner immediately
after each use to keep it in tiptop operating
condition.
22. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep
the cleaner clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
23. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service cen-
ter. Don't use the cleaner if switch does not
turn it on and off.
