NSTRUCTIONS
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If
it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resist-
ance for electrical 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 appropri-
ate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug
is necessary,
DO NOT
connect the ground-
ed wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an outer sur-
face that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.

ETHODS
This electric equipment is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in (Fig A). A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B
& C) may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green color rigid ear, lug or the like
extending from the adaptor must be con-
nected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw. (See Fig B)
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT
modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note:
In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
