GROUNDING protection.
This vacuum must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet only. See
grounding instructions below. If your vacuum has an outlet for a motorized power
nozzle, always turn it OFF before connecting or disconnecting the motorized nozzle.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This vacuum is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
ROUNDING METHODS
G
This electric equipment is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A). A
temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor
illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in (Fig B) if a properly grounded outlet
is not available.
DANGER
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the grounded
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green
color rigid ear, lug or the like extending from
the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is
used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw. (Fig C)
PAGE 2
Page 3
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with 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 equipment. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
