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.

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.
