DANGER:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
GROUNDING
METHODS
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.
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, the 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.
