DOUBLE INSULATED
APPLIANCE
This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use
only identical replacement parts.
Servicing for Double Insulated
Appliances
A double insulated appliance is marked
with one or more of the following: the words "Double
Insulation" or "Double Insulated" or the Double Insulation
symbol. In a double insulated appliance, two systems
of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a double insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added
to the appliance. Servicing a double insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system,
and should be done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must
be identical to the parts they replace.
POLARIZATION
INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider then 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 it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
EXTENSION
CORDS
When using the appliance at a distance where an
extension cord becomes necessary, a 2-conductor
PAGE 4
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 your 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 your
appliance. Use only two-wire outdoor extension cords,
which have two-prong non-grounding-type plugs and
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.
