WARNING
Your saf=t-y 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 Instructions in this manual before
assembling or using your vacuum cleaner.
Use your vacuum cleaner only as
described in this manual. Use only with
Sears recommended attachments.
Disconnect electrical supply before ser-
vicing or cleaning out the brush area.
Failure to do so could result in electrical
shock or injury from moving parts.
Do not leave the vacuum cleaner when
plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not
in use and before servicing.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock - Do
not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close
attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
Do not use with a damaged cord or plug.
If vacuum cleaner is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped in water, return it to
a Sears Service Center.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as
a handle, close a door on cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners. Do
not run vacuum cleaner 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 plugorvacuum 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.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all
parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
Do not rest vacuum cleaner on steps. Do
not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on
floor.
Do not use vacuum cleaner to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids (gaso-
line, cleaning fluid, 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 burning or
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
Do not use vacuum cleaner without dust
bag and/or filters in place.
Always change the dust bag after vacu-
uming carpet cleaners or freshener, pow-
ders, and fine dust. These products clog
the bag, reduce airflow and can cause the
bag to burst. Failure to change the bag
promptly could cause permanent damage
to the vacuum cleaner.
Do not use the vacuum cleaner to pick up
sharp hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the vacuum
cleaner or dust bag.
Unplug before connecting Handi-mate Jr.
(if applicable). Keep hands away from bris-
tles when unit is on.
You are responsible for making sure that
your vacuum cleaner is not used by any-
one unable to operate it properly.
Do not extend the stretch hose, extension
hose or hose combination beyond its
reach. Doing so can cause the vacuum
cleaner to tip and may cause personal
injury or property damage.

MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Thermal Protector
This vacuum cleaner has a thermal
protector which automatically trips to
protect the vacuum 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: If this occurs, 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
cleanlreplace 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. The motor protector will not
reset if the vacuum cleaner is not
turned off even if the vacuum cleaner
has cooled down.
MOTOR PROTECTOR
This vacuum cleaner is also equipped with
a motor protector by-pass valve which
automatically opens to provide cooling air
to the motor when a clog prevents the
normal flow of air to the motor. If the by-
pass valve opens to prevent motor
overheating and possible damage to the
vacuum cleaner, you will notice a
change of sound as air rushes
through the valve opening.
Motor
Protector
Note: Do not block motor protector.
To correct problem: See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING table.
Note: The motor protector may open
when using attachments or when cleaning
new carpet, due to reduced airflow caused
by the attachments themselves or by new
carpet lint filling the dust bin quickly. See
the TROUBLESHOOTING table.
11
DIRT SENSOR
The electronic dirt sensor is a feature
which will detect particles as they pass
through the vacuum cleaner.
Dirt--_
Sensor
The dirt sensor indicator is located on the
front of the vacuum cleaner as illustrated.
A red light indicates dirt is being picked up
by the vacuum cleaner.
OPERATION
As you vacuum, the red indicator light will
come on and stay on as long as the sensor
detects a high concentration of particles
passing through the vacuum cleaner.
Electrical Shock And Personal
Injury Hazard
Disconnect electrical supply before
servicing or cleaning the unit.
Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock or personal injury
from vacuum cleaner suddenly
starting.
TO CLEAN DIRT SENSOR OPTICS
The dirt sensor optics consist of two optic
cells located inside the dust bin port
assembly. Occasionally, it may become
necessary to clean the two optic cells to
assure maximum performance.
Clean optic cells:
• When the red light stays on
continuously.
• When dirt or dust adheres to the optic
cells.
• Whenever the dust bin is cleaned.
To clean the dirt sensor optics, remove
Dust Bin as outlined in the (Dust Bin
Cleaning section).
With the dust bin removed you can insert a
cloth into the dust bin port opening.
Optic
Cells
(inside
Port
Wipe the optic cells with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use cleaners or liquids as they can
help speed the recoating of the optic cells
and make it necessary to clean them much
sooner than normal.
12
VACUUM CLEANER CARE
Always follow all safety precautions when
cleaning and servicing the vacuum
cleaner.
Gather the cord and wrap it loosely around
the upper and lower cord hooks.
Store the vacuum
cleaner in a dry,
indoor area, on

Efectrlcal Shock And Personal Injury
Hazard
Disconnect efectrlcal supply before
performing maintenance to the unit.
Failure to do so could result In elec-
tr[cal shock or pemonal injury from
vacuum cleaner suddenly starting.
WARNING
Electrical Shock And Personal Injury
Hazard
Wrapping the cord too tightly puts
stress on the cord and can cause
cord damage. A damaged cord is an
electrical shock hazard and could
cause personal injury or damage.
Unplug cord from wall outlet. DO NOT drip
water on vacuum cleaner.
Clean exterior using a clean, soft cloth that
has been dipped in a solution of mild liquid
detergent and water, then wrung dry. Wipe

Wash attachments in warm soapy water,
rinse and air dry. DO NOT clean in dish-
washer.
Do not use attachments if they are
wet. Attachments used in dirty
areas, such as under a refrigerator,
should not be used on other
surfaces until they are washed.
