This vacuum cleaner must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for elec­tric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This vacuum cleaner is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding con­ductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accor­dance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment­grounding 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
vacuum cleaner – if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure
A. Make sure that this vacuum cleaner is
connected to an outlet having the same con­figuration as the plug.

No adapter should be used with this vacuum
cleaner.

Note: Before you plug in your commercial
vacuum cleaner, make sure that the volt­age indicated on the rating plate located at
the back of the vacuum cleaner is the
same as your local supply.
