IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1 DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
2 Unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before servicing.
3 DO NOT use vacuum cleaner with a damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to EURO-PRO Operating LLC for examination, repair, or adjustment.
4 DO NOT pull or carry vacuum cleaner by the cord or use the cord as a handle.
5 DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord; to unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
6 DO NOT handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
7 DO NOT run the vacuum cleaner over the power cord, close a door on the cord or pull cord around sharp corners.
8 The use of an extension cord is not recommended.
9 DO NOT leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in.
10 Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
11 Turn off all controls before plugging or unplugging the vacuum cleaner.
12 Always turn off the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting motorized nozzle.
13 Store your vacuum cleaner with the power cord secured around the two cord holders - as shown in the storage instructions.

20 DO NOT use without dust cup and/or filters in place.

HOSE ATTACHMENTS
