Grounding
Pin
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 TABLE A to determine
A.W.G. wire size required. To determine ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to
the nameplate located on motor housing.
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.
