- Use your vacuum cleaner only as described in this guide. Use only with manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
- Disconnect electrical supply before servicing or cleaning out the brush area. Failure to do so could result in brush unexpectedly starting causing personal injury from moving parts.
- Do not leave vacuum cleaner when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before performing maintenance.
- To reduce the risk of electrical shock – Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
- Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
- Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If vacuum cleaner is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, immediately discontinue use and call 1-877-531-7321 (US) / 1-844-608-3081 (CA) for assistance.
- Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run vacuum cleaner over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
- Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
- Do not handle plug or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.

HOW TO START
WARNING Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard
- ALWAYS turn off the vacuum cleaner before unplugging.
- The cord moves rapidly when rewinding. Keep children away and provide a clear path when rewinding the cord to prevent personal injury.
- DO NOT use outlets above counters. Damage from cord to items in surrounding area could occur.
- When any abnormality/failure occurs, stop using the product immediately and disconnect the power plug.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner 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 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.
WARNING Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard
- DO NOT run over power cord with PowerMate®. Personal injury or product damage could result.

- Lower the wand from upright position by pressing on the HANDLE RELEASE pedal.
- Select a pile height setting by pressing the height adjustment pedal on the rear of the PowerMate®. The pile height setting shows on the indicator.
- Select a position on the handle 3-way On/Off switch. Slide the switch forward to the CARPET position to turn on suction from the canister motor and the PowerMate® brushroll. The CARPET indicator button will turn green, and the PowerMate® brushroll will start to spin.

SUGGESTED PILE HEIGHT SETTINGS
Attention: Refer to your carpet manufacturers cleaning recommendations. Some more delicate carpets may require that they be vacuumed with the PowerMate® brushroll turned off to prevent carpet damage. 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:
- HI – Shag, deep pile, super-soft, or ultraplush carpets, and scatter rugs.
- MED – Medium to deep pile.
- LO – Low to medium pile.
- XLO – The preferred setting for many carpets and also for bare floors.
NOTE: To protect bare floors, slide the 3- way On/Off switch to the FLOOR position to turn off rotation.
CAUTION
- DO NOT leave the PowerMate® running in one spot for any length of time. Damage to carpet may occur.
- Product Damage Hazard Use care if the PowerMate® and wand is left in the upright position as it may tip over easily. Property damage can occur if tipped.
