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 appli-
ance 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 qUALI-
FIED ELECTRICIAN.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated
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 the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine ampere rating of your vacuum,
refer to nameplate located on rear of motor cover. 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 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.

in sketches 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 adaptor
should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (sketch A) can be
