USED VACUUM CLEANER

• The symbols for the materials used to manufacture parts and accessories, and the recycle symbols, are located on the parts themselves, where there is room to do so. Retired vacuum cleaners may contain materials that can be re-used or recycled.

IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES

When using this vacuum, there are several basic precautions to be taken at all times, including:

• Always read all of the instructions for use before using the vacuum.

• Always follow the safety instructions.

• Only use the vacuum on surfaces described in this manual.

IMPORTANT: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

• Check the voltage stated on the vacuum cleaner before connecting the po wer cord to a power outlet; the supply voltage needs to be the same as the voltage stated on the vacuum's rating plate, which is located on the back of the vacuum cleaner.

If you are not sure of your power supply voltage, please check with a qualified electrician.

• A damaged vacuum cleaner can be dangerous. Check the packaging, the vacuum cleaner and the attachments for any signs of damage. Never use a damaged vacuum.

• Never leave the vacuum cleaner plugged into a power outlet when not in use. Always unplug the vacuum when not in use or before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance to the vacuum.

• Only use the vacuum cleaner on dry surfaces; do not use it outdoors, on wet surfaces or to collect any type of liquid. Do not use this vacuum to collect liquids because this will create an electrical hazard. Do not vacuum recently shampooed carpets that are damp. Allow the carpets to completely dry before vacuuming them.

• This vacuum cleaner is a professional grade machine and should only be used by trained skilled operators.

• If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized service technician. Never use the vacuum cleaner with a damaged power cord or plug.

• If the vacuum does not operate correctly or if it has been dropped or da maged, left outdoors or immersed in water, do not attempt to operate the vacuum. Have the vacuum serviced by an authorized technician.

• For any repairs or to purchase parts or accessories, please contact your dealer.

• Do not pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by the cord; do not use the cord as a lifting strap; do not close the cord in doors or pull it across sharp edges or around corners. Never pass the vacuum over the cord. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.

• Do not unplug the vacuum by pulling on the power cord: Grip and pull the plug. Do not pull directly on the cord to remove from electrical outlet. Do not handle the power cord, plug or vacuum with wet hands.

• Always keep hair, clothing, fingers and all other body parts away from the vacuum's openings and moving parts.

• Turn off the power switch when the vacuum is not in use.

• Use caution when cleaning stairs.

• Do not pass attachments over the vacuum's power cord or any extension cord.

• Do not vacuum or try to collect sharp objects.

• Always turn off the vacuum before replacing or removing the vacuum hose.

• For routine maintenance, unplug the vacuum and wipe down the vacuum with a dry clean cloth. Never place the vacuum in water.

• Never use the vacuum to collect burning or smoking objects.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• Never place any items in the vacuum's openings. Never use the vacuum with it's openings blocked; keep the vacuum free from dust, dirt, hair and anything else that might reduce it's air flow.

• Do not use the vacuum to collect copier/printer toner powder. Toner powder can conduct electricity which would create an electrical shock hazard.

• Do not use the vacuum cleaner without it's collection filter bag and exhaust filter installed. Collection filter bags need to be disposed of when filled and can be used only once. Do not try to re-use them.

IMPORTANT: The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage to peo ple or property caused by improper use, maintenance carried out by persons without the proper instruction, the use of non-OEM or unauthorized spare parts, or any form of tampering with and/or changes made to the original pro duct.
