CAUTION! This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

NOTE: The appliance 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.

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if doubting whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have a qualified electrician install a proper outlet.

This vacuum is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure 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.

An authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.

If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, take it to a service center prior to continuing use.

NOTE: Vacuum has a thermal protector to prevent overheating. When thermal protector activates, the vacuum will stop running.
