ashes, hot metal chips, sharp materials such as razors,
needles, broken glass or the like.
5. 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.
6. Never vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic, combustible or other
hazardous materials such as asbestos, arsenic, barium,
beryllium, lead, pesticides, or other health endangering
materials.
7. Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.
8. Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).
9. Do not block suction inlet/outlet/cooling vents. These vents
permit cooling of the motor. Blockage should be carefully
avoided otherwise the motor will burn out from lack of
ventilation.
10. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
11. Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.
12. Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice poor performance
or anything abnormal during operation.
13. REMOVE THE BATTERY(IES). When not in use, before
servicing, and when changing accessories.
14. Clean and service the cleaner immediately after each use to
keep it in tiptop operating condition.
15. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep the cleaner
clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
16. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the cleaner,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions 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 center. Do
not use the cleaner if switch does not turn it on and off.
17. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
18. STORE IDLE CLEANER. When not in use, the cleaner should
be stored indoors.
19. Be kind to your cleaner. Rough handling can cause breakage
of even the most sturdily built cleaner.
20. Do not attempt to clean the exterior or interior with benzine,
thinner or cleaning chemicals. Cracks and discoloration may
be caused.
21. Do not use cleaner in an enclosed space where flammable,
explosive or toxic vapors are given off by oil-based paint,
paint-thinner, gasoline, some mothproofing substances, etc.,
or in areas where flammable dust is present.
22. Do not operate the cleaner or any tool while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
23. As a basic rule of safety, use safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields.
24. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions.
