GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The electrical power source for this Wet/Dry Vacuum/Blower MUST be grounded in
order prevent possible electric shock or even death should the tool malfunction or
breakdown. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current thus
reducing the risk of electrical shock. The power source must also use a minimum
20A service and not used if other power tools on the same circuit are in use.

This Wet/Dry Vacuum/Blower is equipped with a grounded 3-wire power cord with

modify the electrical plug
by cutting off the grounding prong so it will fit into unap-
proved, un-grounded electrical receptacles.
