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.

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.
