PLY CORD for damage or signs of any
aging before each use.

4 DO NOT PULL OR CARRY VACUUM

CLEANER BY CORD. Do not close
door on cord or pull cord around sharp
edges.

5 KEEP CORD AWAY FROM HEAT AND

OIL. Do not leave cord lying around af­ter job is complete. It can become a trip-

ping hazard.
6 DO NOT RUN VACUUM OVER CORD.
7 TURN SWITCH TO OFF before unplug-

ging power supply cord.
8 DO NOT UNPLUG BY PULLING

CORD. To unplug, grasp plug, not cord.
9 DO NOT GRASP PLUG WITH WET

hair, dust, and anything that restricts air
flow.

15 DO NOT PICK UP ANYTHING THAT IS

BURNING, smoldering, or smoking
such as matches, cigarettes, or hot ash­es.

16 DO NOT USE TO VACUUM COMBUS-

TIBLE EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS, such
as coal, grain, and other finely divided
combustible material.

17 DO NOT USE TO VACUUM COMBUS-

TIBLE, hazardous, toxic, or carcinogen­ic materials, including gasoline, diesel
fuel, acetone, paint thinner, heating oils,
undiluted acids and solvents, pesticide,
and asbestos.

18 USE RECOMMENDED FILTERS when

vacuuming drywall materials.

19 DO NOT USE WITHOUT FILTER and/

or dust bag in proper place.

20 CONNECT VACUUM CLEANER WITH

PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET
ONLY. See grounding instructions.

21 DO NOT ALLOW VACUUM CLEANER

TO BE USED AS A TOY. Keep children
away from Vacuum Cleaner.

22 DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED while

Vacuum Cleaner is running.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THIS MACHINE

6 EN

23 DO NOT USE IF CORD, PLUG, FIL-

TER, OR VACUUM CLEANER IS IN

POOR CONDITION. If the Vacuum

Cleaner has been dropped, damaged,

exposed to weather, or dropped into

water; have it checked by an authorized

service.
24 ALWAYS USE EYE PROTECTION

when operating Vacuum Cleaner.
25 USE EXTRA CAUTION when operating

on stairs.
26 STAY ALERT! Do not use Vacuum

Cleaner when you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-

tion.

– This appliance must be grounded. If it

should malfunction or break down,

grounding provides a path of least re-

sistance for electric current to reduce

the risk of electric shock.

– This appliance is equipped with a cord

having an equipment grounding con-

ductor and ground plug.

– The plug must be inserted into an ap-

propriate outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all lo-

cal codes and ordinances.

– Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock.

– Check with a qualified electrician or ser-

vice 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 that looks like the plug illustrated in
Fig.A.

– A temporary adapter that looks like the

adapter illustrated in Fig.B, may be
used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle as shown in Fig.B, if a prop­erly grounded outlet is not available.

– The temporary adapter should be used

only until a properly grounded outlet
(Fig.A) is 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This vacuum is intended for commercial
use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

IN ALL CASES, MAKE SURE THE
RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS
PROPERLY GROUNDED.

7EN

Use only three-wire extension cords that
have three-prong grounding-type plugs and
three-pole receptacle that accepts the ap­pliance’s plug. Replace damaged or worn
cord immediately.

Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.

In a double-insulated machine, two sys­tems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provid­ed on a double-insulated machine, nor
should a means for grounding be added to
the machine. Servicing a double-insulated
machine requires extreme care and knowl­edge of the system, and should be done
only by qualified service personnel. Re­placement parts for a double-insulated ma­chine must be identical to the parts they
replace.

NEVER REMOVE GROUNDING PRONG
FROM POWER PLUG.

EXTENSION CORDS

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER
CORD.

ATTENTION

The flat pleated filter must always be in
place while vacuuming.

Static charge is deflected by providing
earthing to the connection nozzles. This
prevents the formation of sparks and cur­rent shocks due to attachments (option)
with electrical conductivity.

– When vacuuming fine dust, a fleece fil-

ter or dust bag can also be used.
