this manuai. Use only with Sears recom-
mended attachments.
To reduce 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 off before unplug-
ging.
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
De not use with damaged cord or plugo 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/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.

attention is necessary when used by or
near children.
Do not handle plug or cleaner with wet
hands,
Do not put any objects into openings.
SAVE THESE
Do not use with any opening blocked;
keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything
that may reduce air flow.

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

Hazard
DO NOT place hands or feet under-
neath the unit at any time. When
using attachments, the agitator con-
tinues rotating. Do not allow the
cleaner to remain in just one place
for a period of time as the agitator
may damage the floor surface.
Avoid placing the cleaner on furni-
ture, the fringed area of rugs, deep
pile carpeting, or carpeted stairs,
The ideal position for the cleaner
when using attachments is for the

The attachments can be added to the hose
if the item to be cleaned is not far from the
cleaner. The hose on some models will
expand.

on some models will have a tendency to
collapse due to suction of the cleaner.
if more reach is needed, the wand can be
attached to the hose and the attachments
can be added to the wand.
. CAuT'o....................i
When using attachments, be careful
not to overextend the hose length
when reaching. Trying to reach
beyond the hose reach could cause
the cleaner to tip over,

Remove any visible clogs.
Motor
Protector ....! ., _ [
This vacuum has 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. If the by-
pass valve opens to prevent motor
overheating and possible damage to the
vacuum, a change of sound will be noticed
as air rushes through the valve opening° If
this occurs, turn the vacuum off and unplug
the power cord from the outlet. Then check
for clogs as described under the CLOG
REMOVAL section_
The motor protector by-pass valve may open
when using attachments or when cleaning
new carpet, due to reduced air flow by the
attachments themselves or by new carpet
fuzz filling the bag quickty.
Note: Do not block motor protector.
