6) Service
a) Have your cleaner serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
cleaner is maintained.
b) If appliance is not working as it should,
has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return
it to a service center.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
● Lead from lead-based paints,
● Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
● Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND
SYMBOLS
1. Do not put your hands or face near the cleaner
opening during use.
Doing so might lead to injuries.

abnormally and might damage the vanes on
the inner section of the unit or cause injuries.
The motor might also overheat and cause a
fire.
