Important Safeguards - Eureka 40 Série Guide Du Propriétaire

ENGLISH
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
• Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
• Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Turn off the switch and unplug the electrical cord 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.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left out-
doors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
• Do not pull or carry by the cord, use cord as a handle, close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or cor-
ners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Do not handle the vacuum cleaner with wet hands or operate without shoes.
• 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.
• This vacuum cleaner creates suction. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings
and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• Do not use without dust cup or filter(s) in place.
• Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
• Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use on areas where they may be pres-
ent.
• Store you cleaner indoors in a cool, dry area.
• Keep your work area well lighted.
• Unplug electrical appliances before vacuuming them.
• Belt pulleys can become hot during normal use. To prevent burns, avoid touching the belt pulley when servicing the
drive belt.
• Turn off the power switch and unplug cleaner before rotating the nozzle.
• Moving brush roll, power switch should be in suction only position when using hose.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fully fit into 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.
Thermal Cut Off
This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the cleaner in case of motor overheating. If the
cleaner suddenly shuts off, push the on/off swith off (O) and unplug the cleaner. Check the cleaner for a pos-
sible source of overheating such as a full dust cup, a blocked hose, or a clogged filter. If these conditions are
found, fix them and wait atleast 30 minutes before attempting to use the cleaner. After the 30 minute period,
plug the cleaner back in and push the on/off switch on (I). If the cleaner still does not run, then take it to a
Eureka Authorized Service Center for repair.
