This appliance 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 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 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 appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding
attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch in Figure 2.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
When using where an extension cord is necessary, a 2-conductor grounding cord must be used for safety
as well as cord and plug must be of watertight construction. This will also prevent overheating and a loss of
power. Do not use any AWG smaller than 14. Use AWG 14 for 25-50 feet cord and AWG 12 for cord over
50 feet.
Before using appliance, inspect power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any
needed repairs or replacements before using your appliance. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords.
When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection does not come in contact with any liquids
and water.
NOTE: INADEQUATE EXTENSION CORDS CAN BE DANGEROUS
NOTE: STATIC SHOCKS ARE COMMON IN DRY AREAS OR WHEN THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF AIR
IS LOW. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE USE. TO REDUCE THE
FREQUENCY OF STATIC SHOCKS IN YOUR HOME, THE BEST REMEDY IS TO ADD MOISTURE TO
THE AIR WITH A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED HUMIDIFIER.
