Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down,
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 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 appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This vac is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug shown. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter shown may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle, as shown. If a properly
grounded outlet is not available, the
temporary adapter should only be used
until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician.
