plug. If appliance is not working
as it should, has been dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or

at an authorized service center.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
This model is for household use only.
WARNING
The rotating floor brush continues to rotate while tools are in use. To reduce the risk of injury
from moving parts, always move the cleaner with the carrying handle at the back of the
cleaner. Always place vacuum cleaner on floor with handle in upright position when using
tools. Never place your fingers under the cleaner when it is running. Never place powerfoot
on furniture or on uneven surfaces. Do not place vacuum cleaner close enough to objects to
pull them into a rotating brush.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS
A POLARIZED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
