The full vacuum power of the cleaner may be too strong in certain  
cases, for instance when vacuuming curtains and draperies. In  
these cases, turn the vacuum power adjustment ring (on the hose)  
to control the vacuum power. Match the hole in the ring with  
the hose hole to reduce the power.  
The dust indicator shows the amount of dust that has been collected in the dust  
compartment. Hold the floor nozzle away from the floor, while operating to check.  
The pipe is adjustable according to the height of the user.

Thank you for your purchase of the Sanyo Vacuum Cleaner.  
Please read these instructions carefully before using.  
A FEW PRECAUTIONS  
1. Operation without the dust compartment and /or filters in place will allow  
dust to enter the motor and could damage the vacuum cleaner.  
2. Keep the vacuum cleaner away from stoves and other heat sources.  
Heat can deform and discolor the plastic parts of the unit.  
3. Keep the vacuum cleaner free of insecticides. Do not wipe with benzine,  
thinner, petrol or other oils which might cause discoloration or cracking.  
To clean the body and hose, dampen a cloth with a mild detergent and  
wipe clean.  
4. Blocking the suction inlet or allowing the dust to clog the hose will  
decrease the efficiency of the motor.  
5. Be sure not to push the clamp button while carrying the vacuum cleaner.  
6. Never try to vacuum the following objects. They may damage the unit or  
cause a fire.  
* Wet things, mud, soil, and fluids  
* Burning cigarettes  
* Needles and razor blades  
* Inflammable materials such as gasoline and thinner  
* Construction rubbish  
7. The following kinds of treatment shorten hose life:  
* Bending hose at an acute angle when storing  
* Pulling the hose with excessive force  
* Placing heavy objects on, or stepping on the hose  
8. Pull out the plug from the power source after use. Grasp the plug not  
the cord when pulling out the plug.  
Pulling on the cord may lead to shortcircuiting.  
9. Long and continuous use causes the exhaust air and the body of the  
vacuum cleaner to become warm. This, however, does not denote  
malfunction.  
10. When vacuuming places that are very dusty, and also when vacuuming  
regularly, empty the dust compartment before it becomes completely  
filled.  
Frequent emptying lengthens the life of the motor and maintains strong  
suction power.  
11.  
If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must only be replaced  
by the manufacturer, its designated repair shop, or a professional, in  
order to avoid a hazard.  
12. Do not allow it to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when  
used by or near children or infirm persons.  
13. Unplug the appliance from outlet before cleaning or maintaining.

ruduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of knowledge,  
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
