Read the Owner’s Manual completely before attempting
to operate this unit. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in burns, re, electric shock, or
personal injury:
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Do not operate vacuum in explosive atmospheres. Sparks
from static electricity or the motor may ignite dust or
fumes.

instructions.
• Always unplug unit when not in use and before servicing.
• Electrical components are not user serviceable. Refer all
service to a qualied repair technician.

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
• Do not change lters, clean the unit, or empty bags until the
plug has been disconnected from the electrical outlet.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers and all parts of body
away from openings and moving parts. There is a risk of
injury through getting stuck or being drawn into moving
machinery.
• Use extra care when working on stairs.
• Injury to the eyes and/or body can occur if protective
clothing and/or equipment is not worn. Always wear safety
goggles, protective clothing, hearing protection, and a dust

a dust collection bag and lter in place.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use if vacuum is not working as it should.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance 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 appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualied 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 appliance – if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Exception: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter
is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1.
Special NOTE: This vacuum’s motor is equipped with thermal overheat protection. If the motor runs too hot, it will shut down. You
must wait for the motor to cool in order to re-start vacuum. Cleaning the lter will help prevent a repeat of this condition.
