ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1. Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
servicing. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
2. Do not expose to rain – store indoors.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near
children.

sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated
surfaces.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug; not the cord.
8. Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
9. Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any openings blocked; keep free of dust,
lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangering materials.
Specially designed units are available for these purposes.
18. Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without cartridge filter and collection filter

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 EQUIP-
MENT-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.
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. A temporary adapter that looks 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. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly ground-
ed 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 ground-
ed outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY
ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conduc-
tor grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. Use the table below to
determine A.W.G. 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 three-wire
outdoor extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles
which accept the extension cord's plug. When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord
connection does not come in contact with the liquid.
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.
