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:

Read all instructionsin this manual before assembling or using your vacuum cleaner.

Turn off all controls before unplugging.

Use your vacuum cleaner only as described in this manual. Use only with

Sears recommended attachments.

Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on floor.

Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out brush area.

Failure to do so could result in electrical shook 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 dsk of electrical shock - Do

not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

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 buming or

smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.

Do not use vacuum cleaner without dust

bag and/or filters in place.

Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close

has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a Sears

Service Center.

Always change the dust bag after

vacuuming carpet cleaners or freshener,

powders and fine dust. These productsclog

the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the

beg toburst. Failure to change bag could

cause permanent damage to the cleaner.

Do not pull or cam] by cord, use cord as a

handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or comers. Do not run

vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper

clips, etc. They may damage the cleaner or

dust bag.

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

reduce air flow.

Do not operate vacuum cleaner without the

exhaust filter or exhaust filter door in place

(if applicable).

The hose contains electrical wires. Do not use when damaged, cut, or punctured.

Replace if cut or worn. Do not pick up

sharp objects.

Always turn off and unplug the vacuum cleaner before connecting or disconnecting either hose, Handi-Mate Jr.® (if applicable), or nozzle.

Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

Suggestedsweepingpattem.

For best cleaning action, the Power-Mate"

should be pushed straight away from you

and pulled straight back. At the end of each

pull stroke, the direction of the Power-Mate ®

should be changed to point into the next section to be cleaned. This pattern should be continued across the carpet with slow, gliding motions.

"_ NOTE: Fast, jerky strokes do not provide complete cleaning.

Suc_on

Control

Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed regularly. For best cleaning

results, fully

close the suction control.

The hose swivel allows the hose to turn without moving the canister. This is

helpful for cleaning in

small areas. Check

hose for twisting

before pulling canister.

Product Damage Hazard

Use care if the Power-Mate ®and

wand is left in the upright position as it may tip over easily. Property damage can occur if tipped.

r.,L WARNING

Personal Injury and Product Damage

Hazard

• DO NOT run over power cord with

Power-Mate'.

Personal injury or damage could result.

• DO NOT pull plug from wall by

the power cord.

If there is damage to the cord or plug, personal injury or property damage could result.

Product Damage Hazard

Do not pull on the hose to move the canister from one stair to the next.

When finished cleaning in one area use the handle grip on the canister to move the vacuum to a new location for further cleaning.

The stair grip located

on the caster will aid

in preventing the

canister from

slipping when used on stairs (see

PERFORMANCE

FEATURES).

NOTE:

Be sure the canister is resting securely on the stairs and the caster is in a

locked position before using.

For best cleaning results, keep the airflow passage open. Check each assembly area in HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS occasionally for clogs. Unplug from outlet before checking.

For best deep down cleaning, use the XLO

setting. However, you may need to raise the

height to make some jobs easier, such as scatter rugs and some deep pile carpets, and to prevent the vacuum cleaner from shutting off. Suggested settings are:

HI - Shag, deep pile, or scatter rugs.

MED - Medium to deep pile.

LO - Low to medium pile.

XLO - Most carpets and bare floors.

OVERLOAD

PROTECTOR

Overload Protector

Reset Button

The Power-Mate ®has built-in protection

against motor and belt

damage should the agitator jam. If the agitator slows down or stops, the overload protector shuts off the Power-Mate*. The canister motor will continue to run.

To correct problem: Turn off and unplug vacuum cleaner, remove obstruction, then press overload protector reset button. A

ball point pen may be required

If the problem persists, have the vacuum cleaner serviced by a Sears or other qualified service agent.

WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

Always unplug the vacuum cleaner before cleaning the agitator area as brush may suddenly restart.

Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

EDGE CLEANER

Active brush edge cleaners are on both sides of the Power-

Mate". Guide either side of the Power-

Mate ®along base-

boards or next to

furniture

to help remove dirt trapped at carpet edges.

SUCTION CONTROL

The suction control allows you to change the vacuum

suction for

different fabrics

Suction Suction

and carpet weights, Opening the control decreases suction for draperies and lightweight rugs, while closing the control increases suction for upholsteries and carpets.

POWER-MATE ®STORAGE

The lower wand

has a "U" shaped

flange in the area where the power cord attaches. The

base has a "U"

shaped slot near

the front.

=4_

'_"

The flange allows

the wands and Power-Mate®to

be stored with the canister to conserve storage space.

The canister must be stored on end for this feature to be used.

To attach the Power-Mate ®, it must be in the fiat position as shown in the illustration. Use

the handle release pedal to place it in this position.

The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lifted

up for use and will slide into the slot as it is

lowered for storage.

THERMAL PROTECTOR

This vacuum cleaner has a thermal protector

which automatically trips to protect

the vacuum cleaner from overheating.

If a clog prevents the normal flow of air to the motor, the thermal protector turns the motor off automatically.

This allows the motor to cool in order to prevent possible damage to the vacuum cleaner.

To correct problem: Turn the vacuum

cleaner off and unplug the power cord

from the outlet to allow the vacuum cleaner to cool and the thermal protector

to reset.

Check for and remove clogs, if necessary.

Also check and replace any clogged filters. Wait approximately thirty (30) minutes and plug the vacuum

cleaner in and turn back on to see if the

motor protector has reset.

PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

When the unit

is running with normal air flow,

the light on the

performance indicator is off.

Performance

Indicator

The light comes on whenever the airflow becomes blocked.

If that occurs, check the disposable dust bag, motor safety filter

and other possible clog locations shown in

HOW YOUR VACUUM

CLEANER

WORKS,

To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-

SHOOTING table.

Note: The light may also come on when

using attachments,

due to reduced airflow

through the attachment.

STAIR GRIP

During normal operation while the vacuum

cleaner is in the horizontal position, the

caster wheel rotates freely 360 °.

The Stair Grip feature

allows the caster

wheel to lock in position when the unit is

rotated 25 ° from horizontal

into a vertical position in order

for the vacuum

cleaner to rest on stairs.

The vacuum cleaner creates suction that picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the

dirt to the dust bag through the airflow pas-/_/_

sages. The dust bag lets the air pass

/jr

through, while it traps the dirt.

/._

For best cleaning results, keep the
