sonsor damage when usingyour vacuum cleaner, follow basicsafety precautions
Including the following:
Read this manual before assembling or
using your vacuum cleaner.
Use your cleaner only as described in
this manual. Use only with Sears recom-
mended attachments.
TOreduce the risk of electrical shock -
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces,
Disconnect electrical supply before any
servicing or cleaning. Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock or person-
al injury.
Always turn cleaner oft before unplug-
ging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If
cleaner is not working as it should, has
been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
dropped into water, return it to a Sears
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 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 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.
Do not use 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 bag

cleaner.
Do not use the cleaner to pick up sharp
hard objects, small toys, pins, paper
clips, etc. They may damage the cleaner
or dust bag.

MOTOR PROTECTION
SYSTEM
Motor Prot_.-'tor
This vacuum has a motor protector by-pass
valve which automatically opens to provide
cooling air to the suction 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, you will notice a change of sound
as air rushes through the valve opening,
To correctproblem:See the TROUBLE-
SHOOTING chart.
NOTE: The motor
protector may open
when using
attachments or when
c_eaning new carpet,
due to reduced airflow
by the attachments
themselves or by new
carpet fuzz filling the
bag quickly. See the
TROUBLESHOOTING
section. \.
Motor
Protector
Note: Do not block motor protector.
Thermal Protector
This vacuum 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 to
allow the motor to cool in order to prevent
possible damage to the vacuum. During this
time the headlight remains on.
To correct problem: If this occurs, turn the
vacuum off and unplug the power cord from
the outlet to allow the vacuum 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 in and turn back on to see if the
motor protector has reset. The motor
protector will not reset if the vacuum is not
turned off even if the vacuum has cooled
down.
AGITATOR OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR
The agitator has
built-in protection
against motor
damage should the
agitator jam. If the
agitator slows down
or stops, the agitator
overload protector
shuts off the agitator.
The suction motor
wil) continue to run.
Agitator Overload
Reset Button
To correct problem: Turn off and unplug
vacuum, remove obstruction, then press
reset butlon.
To reset: Push in the agitator overload
protector button.
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
SOME MODELS
When the unit is running with normal air
flow, the light on the performance indicator is
off. The light comes on whenever the airflow
becomes blocked. If that occurs, check the
disposable dust bag, motor safety filter and
other possible c_og _ocations shown in
CLOG REMOVAL.
To correct
problem: See
the
TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
chart.
NOTE: The
light may also
come on
when using
attachments,
due to
reduced
airflow
through the
attachment.
12
DIRT SENSOR
SOME MODELS
The electronic dirt sensor is a feature which
will detect particles as they pass through the
vacuum cleaner.
The dirt sensor indicators and sensor
sensitivity switch are located on the front of
the switch cover.
A red light indicates dirt is being picked up
by the cleaner. A green light indicates most
of the dirt has been picked up by the
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 cleaner.
The green light indicates that most of the
cleaning is complete.
The sensor switch allows you to select the
sensitivity of the dirt sensor. The switch can
be set to HI (+) or LO (-) sensitivity.
Set the sensor switch to the HI (+) position
when:
• Cleaning bare floors.
• Cleaning carpet with low pile height.
Set the sensor switch to the LO (-) position
when:
• Cleaning heavily soiled areas.
• Cleaning carpet with deep pile.
• Cleaning new carpets.
Even with the sensor switch in the LO (-)
position, the dirt sensor will detect carpet
fuzz, especially on new carpet, which may
cause the red light to remain on longer than
expected.

WARNING
Electrical Shock And Personal Injury
Hazard
Disconnectelectricalsupplybefore
servicingor cleaningthe unit.Failure
to do so couldresultin electdcalshock
or personalinjuryfrom cleaner sud-

TO CLEAN DIRT SENSOR OPTICS
The dirt sensor optics consist of two optic
cells located inside the bag holder.
Occasionally, it may become necessary to
clean the two optic cells to assure
maximum performance. It is
recommended the optic cells be cleaned:
• When the red light stays on
continuously.
• When the green light stays on
continuously.
• When dirt or dust adheres to the
optic cells.
• Whenever the dust bag is changed.
To clean the sensor, 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. The
dirt sensor area can be reached by
removing the dust cover and the dust bag.
