NSTRUCTIONS
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If
it should mal-function 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 equip-
ment-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.
If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary,
DO NOT
connect the
grounded wire to either flat blade termi-
nal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface 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 electri-
cian. The green color rigid ear, lug or the
like extending from the adaptor must be
connected 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 (Fig 3).
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.
Treat this vacuum as you would any other
high grade precision made product.
Dropping, unreasonable bumping across
thresholds and other misuses may result
in a damaged to the unit which will not be
covered by warranty.
Read this manual completely before oper-
ating the vacuum. It is important to follow
instructions in this manual to prevent the
possibility of injury or damage to the user
and/or vacuum.
