the carrying handle. Always place vacuum cleaner on the floor with handle
in upright position when using tools. Never place your fingers under the
cleaner when it is running. Never place vacuum foot on furniture or uneven
surfaces. Do not place vacuum cleaner close enough to objects to pull them
into rotating brush.
