GROUNDING / DOUBLE INSULATION 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 plugged into an appropri-
ate 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 product - 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
ground plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure 1. 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.
WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, protect the
machine from rain. Keep the machine in a dry building.
WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock, always use
a 3-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground.
For maximum protection against electrical shock, use a
circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.
Consult your electrical contractor.
WARNING: Do not cut, remove or break the ground pin. If
the outlet does not fit the plug, consult your electrical
contractor.
WARNING: Have worn, cut or damaged cords replaced by
an authorized service person.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only an approved extension cord with three conductors, a
plug with three terminals, and a connector body with three holes.
The machine has a power cord with wire size 16 AWG (AWG
means American Wire Gauge).
WARNING: If you use an extension cord, use an exten-
sion cord with minimum wire size 14 AWG. Do not use
an extension cord longer than 50 feet. Do not join two
extension cords.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
Applicable to machine with a two-pin plug:
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a
double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-
insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they
replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the
words
"DOUBLE INSULATION" or
"DOUBLE INSULATED"
The symbol (square within
a square) may also be
used on the product.
SERVICE INFORMATION
To obtain consistent performance over the life of your
vacuum, read through these instructions and keep them
handy for future reference. If you require service, contact the
dealer from whom the vacuum was purchased, or the local
authorized Service Center. Always refer to your Service
Center for complete service information. For prompt and
complete service information, always refer to the model, type
and serial number indicated on the rating plate.
IMPORTANT
If the supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced by a repair shop appointed by the manufacturer as
special purpose tools are required.
