MPOR TANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Toreduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when using
your vacuum cleaner, follow basic safety 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 recommended
attachments.
Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
Electrical shock could occur.
Disconnect electrical supply before servicing
or cleaning out brush area. Failure to do so
could result in electrical shock or brush
suddenly starting.
Always turn cleaner off before connecting or
disconnecting the hose or POWER-MATET M
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 cord reel. Do
not allow plug to whip when rewinding.
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/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 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.
Do not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may
reduce airflow.
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 vacuuming carpet cleaners or
fresheners, powders and fine dust. These
products clog the bag, reduce airflow and
can cause the bag to burst. Failure to
change could cause permanent damage to
the cleaner.
Do not use the cleaner to pick up sharp hard
objects, small toys, pins, paper, etc. They
may damage the cleaner or dust bag.
Do not pick up anything that is burning or
smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or
hot ashes.
Do not use cleaner to pick up flammable or
combustible liquids (gasoline, cleaning fluids,
perfumes, etc.), or use in areas where they
may be present. The fumes from these
substances can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Do
not put on chairs, tables, etc. Keep on floor.
You are responsible for making sure that your
vacuum cleaner is not used by anyone
unable to operate it properly.

• Thecord moves rapidly when rewinding. Keep
children away and provide a clear path when
rewinding the cord toprevent personal injury.
• DO NOTuse outletsabove counters.Damage to
items in surroundingarea could occur.
NOTE:To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug, (one blade is
wider than the other). Thisplug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
Cord

EE VACUUMING TIPS
Suggested sweeping pattern.
For best cleaning action, the POWER-MATETM should
be pushed straight away from you and pulled
straight back. At the end of each pull stroke, the
direction of the POWER-MATETM 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 strokes
do not provide
complete
cleaning.
Small areas can
be cleaned
without moving
the canister. The
hose swivel
allows the hose
to turn 360° while
the canister stays
in place. Check
hose for twisting
before pulling
canister.
/
/
Carpeted stairs need to be vacuumed regularly. For
best cleaning results, fully close the suction control.
Personal Injury Hazard
Use care if canister is placed on stairs. !f-it falls,
personal injury or property damage could result.
Forbest cleaning results, keep the airflow passage
open. Check each assembly area, (shown on
page 11) occasionally for clogs. Unplug from
outlet before checking.
== SUGGESTED
PILEHEIGHT
SETTINGS
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:
XLO - most carpets and bare floors.
LO- low to medium pile.
MED - medium to deep pile.
HI - shag; deep pile; scatter rugs.

Indicator Light
The light comes on
whenever the airflow
becomes blocked,
dust bag needs
changing or canister
safety filter needs
cleaning.
NOTE: The lightmay alsocome on when usingcer-
tainattachments,due to reduced airflowthrough
attachment.
Performance Indicator
On Some Models
When the unit isrunning the
lines in the indicator win-
dows 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 page 11.
NOTE: Red lines may appear when using attach-
ments while cleaning new carpet, due to reduced
airflow by the attachments themselves or by new
carpet fuzz filling the bag quickly.
POWER-MATETM Storage
On 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
front caster.
The flange allows the
wands and POWER-
MATETM to be stored
with the canister to
conserve storage
space. The canister
must be stored on end
for this feature to be
used.
The wand will slip out of
the slot as it islifted up
for use and will slide into
the slot as it islowered
for storage.
