When using your Hand Vacuum, basic safety precautions should always be
observed, including the following:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury:
Do not leave the hand vacuum plugged in
when unattended. Unplug the electrical cord
when not in use and before servicing.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or near
children, pets or plants.
Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer’s recommended
accessories.
Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle, close
a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
•Use only extension cords UL-rated or cUL at
15 amperes, extension cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be
taken to arrange the cord so that the cord
cannot be pulled or tripped over.
Turn off all controls as applicable before
unplugging from electrical outlet.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not handle plug or hand vacuum with wet
hands or operate without shoes.
Do not put any objects into openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked. Keep free of
dust, lint, hair and anything else that may
reduce air flow.
Store your appliance indoors in a cool, dry
area.
Keep your work area well lit.
Do not immerse the hand vacuum into water
or other liquids.
Keep end of hose, wands and other openings
away from your face and body.

hand vacuum.
2. Use the system only for its intended use.
3. To protect against a risk of electric shock,

examination and repair. Incorrect re-
assembly or repair can cause a risk of
electrical shock or injury to persons when
the unit is used.
