GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. If vac-
uum cleaner should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must be inseded
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
,_ WARNING: Improper connection of the equip-
ment-grounding conductor and grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a quali-
fied 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 vacuum cleaner -
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
