READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Symbols
• The label on your tool may include the following symbols.
The symbols and their definitions are as follows:
V ....................volts
A .....................amperes
Hz ...................hertz
W ....................watts
min .................minutes
or AC .........alternating current
or DC ....direct current
n o ...................no load speed
.................Class I Construction

...................Class II Construction (double insulated)
.../min or rpm...revolutions or reciprocation per minute
• When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Transporting your Vacuum

To move your vacuum cleaner from room to room, unplug the unit and either push the
appliance or carry using the carry handle.
