SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
GROUNDING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Electrical equipment must be grounded.
If it should malfunction 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 equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly
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.
installed and 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 (Fig3).
INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING
METHODS
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 equipment. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
Treat this vacuum as you would any
other high grade precision made product. Dropping, unreasonable bumping
across thresholds and other misuses
may result in a damaged unit which will
not be covered by warranty.
When not in use, power cord should be
wrapped around the motor head for
storage.
Read this manual completely before
operating the vacuum. It is important to
follow instructions in this manual to prevent the possibility of injury or damage
to the user and/or vacuum.
