malfunction or break down, Grounding provides a path
of least resistance for Electric Current to reduce the risk of
Electric Shock. This Vacuum is equipped with a Cord
having an Equipment-grounding Conductor and
Grounding Plug. The Plug must be inserted into an
appropriate Outlet that is properly installed and Grounded
in accordance with all Local Codes and Ordinances.

This Vacuum is for use on a nominal 120 Volt Circuit, and
has a Grounded Plug that looks like the Plug shown.
A Temporary Adapter that looks like the Adapter shown
may be used to connect this Plug to a 2-Pole Receptacle,
