DO NOT LEAVE VACUUM
UNATTENDED WHEN IT
IS PLUGGED IN AND/OR
OPERATING. UNPLUG UNIT
WHEN NOT IN USE.
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 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.
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 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 adapter that looks
like the adapter 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 adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet
(SKETCH A)
can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.

INSTRUCTIONS
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR
IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL
CODE. Make sure that the appliance is connected to
an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this appliance.
When using the appliance at a distance where an
extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor
grounding cord of adequate size must be used for
safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating.
Use
TABLE A
to determine A.W.G. wire size required.
To determine ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to
nameplate located on motor housing.
Before using appliance, inspect power cord for loose
or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any
needed repairs or replacements before using your
appliance. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords,
which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-
pole receptacles which accept the extension cord’s plug.
When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord
connection does not come in contact with the liquid.
NOTE:
STATIC SHOCKS ARE COMMON IN DRY AREAS
OR WHEN THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF THE AIR IS
LOW. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT
AFFECT THE USE OF THE APPLIANCE. TO REDUCE
THE FREQUENCY OF STATIC SHOCKS IN YOUR HOME,
THE BEST REMEDY IS TO ADD MOISTURE TO THE AIR
WITH A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED HUMIDIFIER.
