IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the vacuum cord 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 still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
