Yoursafetyis important to us.To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons or damage when using your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety precau-
tions including the following:
Read this manual before assemblingor
using yourvacuumcleaner.
Use your cleaner only as described in this
manual. Use only with Sears recommended
attachments.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do
not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Disconnect electrical supply before servic-
ing or cleaning out brush area. Faiture to do
so could result in electrical shock or brush
suddenly starting.
Always turn cleaner off before connecting or
disconnecting the hose or POWER-MATE TM.
Always turn cleaner off before unplugging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
Hold plug when rewinding onto cordreel,
Do not allow plugto whipwhenrewinding.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
cleaner is not working as it should, has been
dropped, damaged, Leftoutdoors, or dropped
into water, return it to a Sears Service
Center/Department.
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
cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
Do not leave cleaner when plugged in.
Unplug from outlet 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.
Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet
hands.
Do not operate the cleaner with a punctured
hose. The hose contains electrical wires.
Replace if cut or worn. Avoid picking up
sharp objects.
Do not put any objects into openings.

parts of body away from openings and mov-
ing parts.
Do not use cleaner without dust bag and/or
filters in place.
Always change the dust bag after vacuum-
ing carpet cleaners or freshener, powders

combustible liquids (gasoline, cleaning fluids,
perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they
may be present. The fumes from these sub-
stances can create a fire hazard or explo-
sion.

tact a qualified electrician to install the prop-
er outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.

Suggestedsweepingpattern.
For best cleaning action, the POWER-
MATE TM should be pushed straight away
from you and pulled straight back. At the
end of each pull stroke, the direction of the
POWER-MATE TM should be changed to
point into the next section to be cleaned.
This pattern should be continued across the
rug with slow, gliding motions.
NOTE: Fast,
jerky strokesdo
not provide
complete clean-
ing.
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.
Suction
Conb'ol
Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed reg-
ularly. For best cleaning results, fully close
the suction control.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Use care if canister is placed on
stairs. If it falls, personal injury or
property damage could result.
For best cleaning results, keep the airflow
passage open, Check each assembly area
in HOW YOUR VACUUM WORKS occasion-
ally 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.

Indicator Light
The light comes on
whenever the air-
flow becomes
blocked, dust bag
needs changing or
canister safety filter
needs cleaning.
NOTE: The light may also come on when
using certain attachments, due to reduced
airflow through attachment.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
SOME MODELS
Whentheunitisrunning (_ 0 0 0 O)
the lines in the indicator
windows will be clear if
there are no clogs. When the lines turn
completely red there is a need to check the
dust bag for being full of the other areas
that may be clogged. See HOW YOUR VAC-
UUM WORKS.
NOTE: Red lines may appear when using
attachments or when cleaning new carpet,
due to reduced airflow by the attachments
themselves or new carpet fuzz filling the
bag quickly.
POWER-MATE TM STORAGE
SOME MODELS
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
6 front caster.
The flange allows the
wands and POWER-
MATE TM to be stored with
the canister to conserve
storage space. The can-
ister must be stored on
end for this feature to be
used.
The wand will slip out of the slot as it is lift-
ed up for use and will slide into the slot as it
is lowered for storage.

Thevacuum cleaner creates suction that
picks up dirt. Rapidly moving air carries the
dirt to the dust bag through the air-
flow passages. The dust bag
