IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.
Do not leave machine unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet
when not in use and before changing bags or attempting any mainte-
nance or adjustment.
To avoid electrical shock, Use indoors only. Do not use outdoors and do
not expose to rain.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recom-
mended attachments.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
If machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord,
or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run machine over
cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not unplug by pulling
on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug not the cord. Do not handle plug or
machine with wet hands.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from open-
ings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
Do not put hands under base-rotating parts could cause injury. Always
keep hands feet and loose fitting clothing away from moving parts to pre-
vent possible injuries. Use care to keep electrical supply cable from con-
tacting moving parts, such as floor brushes.
Risk of explosion: Use this machine only in a well ventilated area, free
from any flame or match. Do not use machine in areas where flammable
and/or explosive vapors or dust are present.
Make sure voltage and frequency at the wall power receptacle corre-
spond with that indicated on name plate before plugging in machine. A
20 amp circuit is recommended.
Never use a device to lock the switch lever in the ON position.
Use only a 12 Ga. Three-wire extension cable which have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-prong receptacles that accept the
machine’s plug.
BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE
WARNING: Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious
bodily injury or property damage.
Read this manual completely before attempting to operate machine. This
manual has important information for the use and safe operation of the
machine. Keep this manual on file and handy.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
s
WARNING: 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 appliance-if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine 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 appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a ground-
ing plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary
adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (sketch B) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qual-
ified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or tab extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a proper-
ly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by
the Canadian Electrical Code.
EXTENSION CORD
If an extension cord is used, use only a three wire 12 gauge extension
cord that has three prong grounding type plugs and three prong recepta-
cles that accept the machine’s plug. This machine is equipped with a 14
gauge power cord. Replace or repair all damaged cords.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS DELIVERED
If machine is damaged, notify the carrier immediately and request an
inspection. Be sure to keep the carton, packing inserts, packing lists, and
carrier’s receipt until the inspector has verified your claim.
