WARNING
Your safety is important to us. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic
safety precautions including the following:
Use your vacuum cleaner only as
described in this manual. Use only with
Sears recommended attachments.
Disconnect electrical supply before
servicing or cleaning out brush area.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or brush suddenly starting.
Do not leave vacuum cleaner when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in
use and before servicing.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock – Do
not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
Do not use with 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 a Sears
Service Center.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a
handle, close door on cord, or pull cord
around sharp edges or corners. Do not run
vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with
wet hands.
Do not put any objects into openings.
Do not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may

parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Proper assembly and safe use of your vacuum cleaner are your responsibilities.
Your vacuum cleaner is intended for
carefully for important use and safety information. This guide contains safety
statements under warning and caution symbols.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do
not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on
floor.
Do not use vacuum cleaner to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids (gasoline,
cleaning fluids, perfumes, etc.), or use in
areas where they may be present. The
fumes from these substances can create a
fire hazard or explosion.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
Do not use vacuum cleaner without dust
bag and/or filters in place.
Always change the dust bag after
vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener,
powders and fine dust. These products clog
the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the
bag to burst. Failure to change bag could
cause permanent damage to the vacuum
cleaner.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up
sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum
cleaner or dust bag.

exhaust filter or exhaust filter door in place
(If applicable).
The hose contains electrical wires. Do not
use when damaged, cut, or punctured.

sharp objects.

cleaner before connecting or disconnecting
either hose, Handi-Mate Jr.® (if applicable),
