Grounding Instructions

This Vac must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or break
down, ground ing 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.
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.
