Cleaning the Canister Filter
Clean the canister filter frequently to keep the
collector's performance at its optimum. To clean
the filter, turn the handle a couple of rotations so
the dust falls into the clear plastic bag. Properly
discard the plastic collector bag when full.
Motor
Make frequent inspections of the motor fan and
blow out (with low pressure air hose) or vacuum
any accumulation of foreign material in order to
maintain normal motor ventilation.
Grounding Instructions
1. For all grounded, cord-connected tools:
This tool must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into a matching 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.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
2. For grounded, cord-connected tools rated less than 15 amperes and intended for use on a nominal
120V supply circuit:
This tool is intended for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated Sketch A in Figure 14. The tool has a grounding prong that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in
Figure 14. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B, may be used to connect this plug to
a 2 pole receptacle as shown in Sketch C if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.

3. For all other grounded, cord-connected tools:
This tool is rated more than 15 amperes and is intended for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more
than 120 volts, and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection a proper electric
circuit. Make sure that the tool is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should
be used with this tool. If the tool must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualified service personnel.
