SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POWER CORD, 2-WIRE POLARIZED CORD Household Models: SYM, SYMUSA, SYMCLNT, SYMCL,
SYMS, SYMD, SYMPNT & SYMP
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product is
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is
a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace
the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.
Grounding Instructions Commercial Models: SYMCNT & SYMC
This vacuum cleaner must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure the vacuum is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this vacuum.
WARNING – Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the 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 – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Before using your Symmetry for the first time Operation
Attaching the handle to the vacuum
The vacuum cleaner and the handle are
packed separately.
• After first removing the handle screw,
position the handle behind the vacuum
cleaner and level with the top of the unit.
Hold the power cord down and away
from the vacuum while the handle is being
attached. Make sure that the switch on
the handle is positioned toward the front
of the vacuum cleaner.
• On the bottom of the handle are two
“T-shaped” rails that slide forward onto
two guides located on the top of the
vacuum cleaner. Line up the handle so
that the “T” rails will slide into the guides
and push the handle forward.
Unwinding the power cord
• The upper cord hook rotates to allow for
quick access to the power cord.
• Insert the handle screw and tighten
securely.
• Turn the upper cord storage hook to
the upright position and wind the power
cord around the cord storage hooks
when storing the vacuum cleaner.
