GROUND
DANGER:
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. The 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
installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
GROUNDING
METHODS
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.
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).
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.
