SAFETY

IMPORTANT! Read all instructions before using this vacuum.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, basic precautions should be observed, including the following:

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions on page 2. Do not modify the three-prong grounded plug.
• Do not leave vacuum when it is plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not use motorized nozzle on wet surfaces.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Plastic film can be a suffocation hazard. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Do not use for any purpose other than described in these instructions.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If vacuum is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, do not attempt to operate; have it repaired at an authorized 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 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 with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked. Keep openings free of dust, lint, hair or anything that may reduce airflow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts of the vacuum and its accessories.
• Turn vacuum off before plugging or unplugging.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas where they may be present.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
• Do not use without dust bag and/or filters in place.
• Use only three-wire SJT extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and grounding receptacles that fit the vacuum plug.
• Ensure extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your vacuum.
• Maintain vacuum with care – inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
• Do not turn your vacuum on until you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures. Keep vacuum on a level surface.
• Do not use vacuum in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil-based paint, paint thinner, some moth-proofing substances, flammable dust or other explosive or toxic vapors.
• Do not use to pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
• Do not pick up hard or sharp objects such as glass, nails, screws, coins, etc.

STOP

WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren't sure if the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This vacuum is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the drawing at right. Ensure the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No plug adapter should be used with this vacuum.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This vacuum must be connected to a grounded wiring system. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of electrical shock.

NOTE: The cord for this vacuum has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION! Assemble vacuum fully before using.

1. Slide upper handle and lower handle together so handle bolt holes are positioned as shown in Figure 1. Insert a two-part bolt in center of handle and tighten. Hold assembled handle so handle curves away from vacuum. Place lower handle into handle socket at rear of vacuum. Align holes. Insert two-part bolt and tighten using Phillips screwdriver. (See Figure 1)

Figure 1 Toward rear of vacuum

1. Pull the spring on the electrical cord upward toward the top of the handle. Insert the lower half of the spring into the upper cord hook. Snap the hook into the upper handle. (See Figure 2)

2. Insert the power cord into the lower cord hook. Snap into lower handle. Pull on the cord to tighten but leave enough slack near the base so the cord is not strained when the handle is lowered. (See Figure 3)

HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

1. Step on handle release located at the left rear side of vacuum.
2. Move handle and adjust it to desired position.

HEIGHT SETTINGS

WARNING! To prevent injury, keep loose clothing, hair, fingers and all other parts of body away from any moving part (such as the revolving brush). Turn cleaner off and unplug before changing the height.

1. With power cord unplugged, adjust base to highest setting with six-position adjustment knob.
2. Plug in vacuum, step on power switch and turn on vacuum. Lower setting one notch at a time until you hear bristles touching the carpet. This should be a noticeable sound change.

Carpet HeightRecommended Setting
Position	1-2	......	Low pile
Position	3-4	......	Medium pile
Position	5-6	......	High pile

CAUTION! With brush roll on, do not allow vacuum to sit in one location for an extended period of time, as damage to floor can result.

NOTE: When finished using vacuum, wrap cord around cord wrap for storage. Store vacuum indoors in a dry location in an area where it is not likely to get damaged.
