This Vacuum 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 Vacuum 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.

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 Vacuum 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.
