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
a 3-prong plug. If the power cord will not fit into the wall plug, an approved adapter
can be used as long as it is connected to the center screw in the wall plate. Never
modify the electrical plug by cutting off the grounding prong so it will fit into unap-
proved, un-grounded electrical receptacles.
