POWER SUPPLY- WARNING:

YOUR VACUUM MUST BE

CONNECTED TO A 110V,  MINIMUM 15-AMP. BRANCH CIRCUIT.
FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY
FROM SHOCK OR FIRE.

WARNING

: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this

instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common
sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized two-prong 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 into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not alter or change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for three wire grounded power supply
and grounded power cords. See Fig.1.

EXTENSION CORDS

Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your
tool which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is
rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. If you are using the
tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by
“WA” on the jacket). The extension cord must have a minimum wire size
depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension
cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge)
rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The
amount of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the
minimum AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the
chart Fig.2 to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation.
Cord length is rated in feet.
