STAY ALERT! Watch what you are doing and use
common sense. Do not use vacuum cleaner
when you are tired, distracted, or under the
use of drugs, alcohol or medication that
causes diminished control.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance 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
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING! Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a 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 appliance. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
1. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A. (See Figure 1)
2. A temporary adapter, like the adapter illustrated in
sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle (as shown in sketch B) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. (See Figure 1)
When using the appliance at a distance where an
extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor
grounding cord of adequate size must be used for
safety and to prevent loss of power and overheating.
Use the table below to determine AWG wire size
required. To determine ampere rating of your vacuum,
refer to nameplate located on rear of motor cover.
Before using appliance, inspect power cord for loose
or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any
needed repairs or replacements before using your
appliance. Use only 3-wire outdoor extension cords
that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the extension cord's plug.
When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord
connection does not come in contact with the liquid.

WARNING! Do not use to vacuum lead paint
debris, as this may disperse fine lead particles
into the air. This vacuum is not intended for use
under EPA Regulation 40 CFR Part 745 for lead
paint material cleanup.

properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid
ear, lug or the like extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw. (See Figure 1)
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code. Make sure that the appliance
is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should
be used with this appliance.
NOTE: Static shocks are common in dry areas
or when the relative humidity of the air is low.
This is only temporary and does not affect the
use of the appliance. To reduce the frequency
of static shocks in your home, the best remedy
is to add moisture to the air with a console or
installed humidifier.
