SEE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of shock. This appliance 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.
WARNING.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. If you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service person. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance - if it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.
A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2- pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid wire, lug, or the
like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
Warning:
The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects
or other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not vacuum water or liquids.
• Do not vacuum up hard or sharp objects, as they may damage the hose, vacuum bag or the vacuum motor.
• Do not drop the vacuum on the floor.
• Do not operate the vacuum while it is standing on high-pile carpet. It is essential that the exhaust airflow is not
restricted.
• Do not wash or launder the cloth vacuum bag. It would destroy the filtration capacity of the fabric.
• Do not kink or twist the power cord.
• Do not attempt to service the vacuum yourself. Repair by anyone other than an authorized repair service center
may void the warranty.
MAINTENANCE
• Clean the cloth vacuum bag regularly. After emptying the vacuum bag, turn it inside out and shake as much dust
out of the fabric as possible. Optimum performance is achieved by using a paper vacuum bag with the cloth bag.
• Check the power cord for damage. Always unwind the cable completely.
• Ensure that the vacuum hose, the extension wand and the vacuuming accessories are not blocked.
• Ensure that the electrical outlet and the plug are securely connected. Incorrect connections may cause sparking
and damage to the cable socket.
• Have your Backpack Vacuum served by an authorized repair service center if you suspect any potential problems.
• Use only approved paper vacuum bags.
• Ensure that the flexible vacuum bag ring provides a proper seal before vacuuming.
