SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE

WARNING:
VACUUM UNATTENDED WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN
AND/OR OPERATING.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.

WARNING:
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 7 and grounding pin 8 that looks like the
plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks
like the adapter illustrated in Sketch 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.

IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTER 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.
EXTENSION CORDS
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 the 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 the 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.
