or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
exposed to water—discontinue use immediately
and take it to a service center for inspection.

Thermal Protector
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a self-resetting
thermal protector to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates, the vacuum
cleaner’s motor will stop running. The motor will
restart after cooling down. To prevent repeated
tripping of the thermal protector, clear all restrictions
out of hose and tools. Replace the paper bag, and
clean or replace the cloth bag and intake lter if
necessary. Clear all restrictions to exhaust air ow.
Electrical Grounding/Cord Info
This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit
malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current. This reduces the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor,
and a 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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are unsure if an
outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT
modify the plug provided with the
appliance to fit an outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in the sketch below. Make sure
that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same conguration as the plug. No adaptor
should be used with this appliance.
WARNING
FIRE OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
Use only a 16 gauge or higher
3-wire SJT extension cord with
this vacuum cleaner. Using a
cord of different type or AWG
may result in increased risk of fire or
electrical shock.
