WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, please contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
