IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS!

When using an electrical appliance, always follow basic precautions, including the following:
WARNING:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow vacuum cleaner to
be used as a toy or to run unattended at any time.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, feet and all parts of body away from openings, rotating agitator and other
moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials such as gasoline or fine wood sandings or use in
areas where they may be present.
