This vacuum cleaner 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 vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro-
priate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER
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 vacuum cleaner – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual-
ified electrician.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in the following Figure. Make sure that
this vacuum cleaner is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug.
No adapter should be used with this vacuum cleaner.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Before you plug in your Panasonic vacuum cleaner, make sure that the voltage
indicated on the rating plate located at the back of the vacuum cleaner is the same as
your local supply.
