IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION CONT.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Symbols
• The labels on your tool may include the following symbols.
The symbols and their definitions are as follows:
V .......................volts
A .......................amperes
Hz .....................hertz
W ......................watts
min ....................minutes
or AC ............alternating current
or DC .........direct current
no ......................no load speed
......................Class I Construction
...................... earthing terminal
(grounded)
......................safety alert symbol
.......................Class II Construction (double insulated)
.../min or rpm .....revolutions or reciprocations per minute
• When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
Transporting your Vacuum

the appliance or carry using the carry handle.
