ies, cushions and fabrics.

attachment for a longer reach.
  TurboBrush™ Tool: Use rotating brush 
action for small areas such as stairs and   
upholstery.

to the upright position and store the 
power cord.

you use your vacuum for above floor 
cleaning. To prevent carpet damage, do 
not lean on the vacuum or let the power-
foot tilt forward.
 CAUTION: The rotating floor brush continues  
to rotate while tools are in use. To  
reduce the risk of injury from mov-
ing parts, always move the cleaner  
with the carrying handle at the  
back of the cleaner. Always place  
the vacuum cleaner on the floor  
with the handle in upright position  
when using tools. Never place your  
fingers under the cleaner when it is  
running. Never place powerfoot on  
furniture or uneven surfaces. Do not  
place vacuum cleaner close enough  
to objects to pull them into rotating  
brush.
Tip:
Hair, string and 
small objects 
can block the 
vacuum hose or 
tools. Check them 
occasionally for 
obstructions.
NOTICE: While vacuuming, certain carpets and low 
humidity conditions may generate small 
static discharges. The discharges are entirely 
harmless and are not associated in any way 
with the main power supply.
