DANGER
GROUNDING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If
it should mal-function or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This vacuum is
equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
This electric equipment 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 adaptor that
looks like the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B
& C) may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
grounded wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green color rigid ear, lug or the like
extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw (Fig C).
