To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Assembling the Vacuum
Important Note:
Under no circumstances should you plug in the
vacuum cleaner prior to complete assembly.

This vacuum cleaner 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 vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure that the vacuum is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this vacuum.

WARNING – Improper connection of

can result in the 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 – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
