This Vac must be Grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This Vac 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 Vac is for use on a nominal 120 Volt
circuit, and has a Grounded Plug that
looks like the Plug shown. A temporary
Adapter that looks like the Adapter shown
may be used to connect this Plug to a
2-Pole Receptacle, as shown. If a properly
Grounded Outlet is not available, the
temporary Adapter should be used only
until a properly Grounded Outlet 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.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary
Adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
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 vac - if it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
